Instructions
- Review chapters 1 & 2, in Changing the U.S. Health Care System: Key Issues in Health Services Policy and Management.
- Utilizing workshop readings, and your own online research, write a 3-page paper answering the following questions:
- A health policy might promote ‘‘realized access’’ but not ‘‘effective access’’ or ‘‘efficient access.’’ The majority of the U.S. population believes the U.S. system has a ‘‘major problem.’’ Is the most important problem the system faces one of realized access, effective access, or efficient access?
- How did the ACA attempt to address the most important access problem you identified?
- In the paper, be sure to:
- Include an introduction and conclusion.
- Define, describe, and illustrate each key concept.
- Apply biblical principles where appropriate.
- Defend your position, citing research and/or evidence to support your arguments.
