I have a quesion first not related - what is the difference between community discussion and exam discussion areas ?

Now on question 6 antitrust laws I am not certain why the answer excludes physician contracts it does pertain to physician contracts and there needs to be clear evaluation any contracts to make sure stark laws are not compromised.

I do not have much experience with writing business plans.  Does anyone have tips to share regarding writing a business plan?  Are there any recommended resources that would help guide me through the process step-by-step?  I appreciate any experiences you can share.

With Sarbanes-Oxley in place, I am wondering just how involved non-profits are in comparison to public companies.  For example, it seems to me that in healthcare directors and executives have always been underpaid for what is expected of them.  Is this something actively scrutinized with the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley?  Do non-profit organizations follow the requirement to have separate audit committees?  I am curious about the extent that Sarbanes-Oxley truly influences non-profit institutions.  I appreciate any comments on this area of discussion from week 10. 

This is more of an observation than question, however the ethics involved in managed care seems quite complicated.  Throughout the presentation the discussion was that, the Provider was only interested in helping to keep patients well enough until they could be passed on to another responsible party, which may be Medicare or another HSO.  This is the first time I heard that physicians or LIPs have to sign “gag” orders in some circumstances.  How can this be ethical? Does anyone have more information to share related to “gag” orders?
