During the course, you have done a thorough analysis of a company and the health care subsector in which the company operates now is the time to look at all your findings and insights and frame the situation of the company in terms of cost, access, and quality. Specifically:
- Are there any major cost-containment policies or practices from private insurers or the government that affect your company? Are there any internal/ competitive forces that are trying to do the same?
- How does your company (and industry) is assessed in terms of its ability to offer access to all populations?
- What kind of quality assessment and assurance is done? Are there any positive or negative stories about the quality of health care services of the organization?
Reflection 7
Health care is a complex system that requires in-depth thinking, expertise, and ethical consideration so to encapsulate and further associate the concepts you are learning, in most modules, you will have the opportunity to reflect in-depth on relevant interconnected concepts. The expectations of the reflection paper include (1) Answer completely all the prompts or questions; (2) reflection should be between 800 and 1,000 words; (3) use APA-style; (4) turn in via Canvas by end of the Day 7 of the module (11:59 PM).
During the course, you have done a thorough analysis of a company and the health care subsector in which the company operates now is the time to look at all your findings and insights and frame the situation of the company in terms of cost, access, and quality. Specifically:
1. Are there any major cost-containment policies or practices from private insurers or the government that affect your company? Are there any internal/ competitive forces that are trying to do the same?
2. How does your company (and industry) is assessed in terms of its ability to offer access to all populations?
3. What kind of quality assessment and assurance is done? Are there any positive or negative stories about the quality of health care services of the organization?
Please use these questions as possible prompts but feel free to discuss any items related to cost, access, and quality. The organization that you selected for your final project may have very distinct issues in these three areas.
This activity covers the following module objectives: MO10, MO 12, MO 13.
