Abstract/Description
Laboratory testing has been significantly changed by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which has influenced reimbursements, patient choice, and direct access testing policies. However, the impact of the ACA on individual laboratory facilities is unclear. The focus of this research initiative is to identify how this regulatory change has influenced laboratory facilities.

Show moreLaboratory testing has been significantly changed by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which has influenced reimbursements, patient choice, and direct access testing policies. However, the impact of the ACA on individual laboratory facilities is unclear. The focus of this research initiative is to identify how this regulatory change has influenced laboratory facilities. We hypothesize that the ACA has had a positive impact on the healthcare system by providing more Americans access to care which increases patient laboratory testing services while reducing cost. All U.S. laboratories are required to have a Medical Director who is usually an MD, DO, or PhD. This research will directly survey key personnel in order to shed insight into how the ACA has directly influenced the industry. The questionnaire has already been deployed electronically using Qualtrics survey software. Preliminary findings suggest that the ACA has indeed influenced laboratory revenues, Medicare, and Insurance reimbursement.

Show moreThe research study investigates factors that influence entrepreneur’s ability to identify new venture opportunities. Entrepreneurial alertness has been widely argued as fundamental to the opportunity identification process, yet this relationship remains largely unverified by empirical evidence. This study provides an explicit investigation into the implications of entrepreneurial alertness for opportunity identification as well as how metacognitive factors moderate the proposed relationship. First, Chapter 1 provides an overview the purpose, research questions, the significance of the study, and the conceptual framework. Next, a comprehensive review of the existing literature on opportunity identification is provided which is followed by the development of theoretical arguments, associated hypotheses, and the conceptual model. Subsequently, and overview of the research methodology and sampling procedure is presented. Finally, the analyses and results presented followed by a discussion, future research, and conclusions.
