Academic poster. It is referred to as part one of the assign brief attached.

Your poster should be a single A1 page. It must be visually

engaging, using headings, figures, diagrams, and concise text to communicate your

analysis effectively.

This is a word lab practical assignment for my HCS 131 class. I have attached the instructions and the assignment itself as well.

DISCUSSION TOPIC on HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT:

The traditional model for physician service – hospital relationship has been described as a privilege contract. Evaluate how this has changes and synthesize a new model for a model where shared responsibility is the focus.

Instructions:

• Post an initial response (400500 words) that synthesizes your insights across these points.
• Support your discussion with at least 3 scholarly sources.
• Respond to two responses by offering constructive feedback or alternative perspectives that expand the conversation. (DB Response – file is attached)

***EXAMPLE ATTACHED ON TEMPLATE FOR DISCUSSION RESPONSE***

2) Write 2 discussion responses – discussions are attached in a word document.

DB Guidelines for Responding:

If responding to another message, quote the passage you’re responding to or briefly summarize the message. Do not copy the entire message to which you are responding, unless it is very short. Detail specifically why you agree or disagree.

All DB responses must be supported with properly formatted text citations and references. Be sure to provide support for your observations and conclusions from your reading and research by including properly formatted text citations and references for your DB responses. The resulting dialogue continues through the end of each week. There is, of course, no upper limit on the amount of discussion you may engage in. The responses to other learners’ postings should add to the substance of the posting, request clarification, provide a different perspective, or challenge the assertions made by providing real or hypothetical scenarios that the original posting does not adequately address. “I agree” or “good response” type of postings do not add to our collective learning and therefore do not count toward the participation requirement. Remember, the purpose of course discussions is to stimulate academic dialogue. At the same time, it is also good practice to provide positive, supportive comments. Everyone appreciates these. Timely postings are very important because they generate further discussion. Discussion board posts are only accepted during the week in which they are due.

Critical Thinking: When preparing your responses to the Discussion Questions you are expected to demonstrate the highest levels (i.e., levels 4,5, & 6) of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning, which are:

1. Knowledge: Observe and recall information.

2. Comprehension: Grasp meaning and translate to new context.

3. Application: Use information, methods, concepts, theories in new situations.

4. Analysis: See patterns and organization of parts and recognize hidden meanings.

5. Synthesis: Use old ideas to create new ones, generalize from given facts, relate knowledge from several areas, predict, draw conclusions

6. Evaluation: Compare and discriminate between ideas, assess value of theories, make choices based on reasoned argument and verify value of evidence.

When writing your Discussion Question responses remember to focus on the ability to think critically at the Masters level. Do not simply parrot back what the authors have said in the assigned reading or your research. Analyze, synthesize and evaluate what you have read into a clear and succinct summary of what the authors have said compared to your own experiences. Use properly formatted text citations and references to support and illustrate your observations and conclusions, but use them sparingly.

Healthcare is always evolving. Technology innovations are one aspect of healthcare that changes rapidly and has significant effects on the economics of healthcare. New medical technologies such as advanced machines can make healthcare more effective and improve patient outcomes. However, they can also increase expenses for healthcare providers. Increased expenses to providers affect the cost of care, access to care, and the ability of organizations to stay within their budget.

Other innovations include efforts to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and use technology wisely. Understanding how costs can be reduced in the future helps us see how the healthcare system can become more affordable for everyone.

For this assessment, you will research a current trend in healthcare from a list provided in the assessment instructions and present your findings on how these domains affect each other and how innovation can improve healthcare and the economics of healthcare.

Create a 5-7 slide presentation on the intersection of policy, technology, and reimbursement methods on a current healthcare trend

The intersection of healthcare policy (national, state, local), technology, and reimbursement methods is a crucial area where innovation can improve healthcare delivery, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes. View the following illustration depicting the intersection between these three areas:

• . (see attached)

For this assessment, you will research a current trend in healthcare from the list provided and present your findings on how these domains affect each other and how innovation can improve healthcare and the economics of healthcare.

You are tasked with giving a presentation to the Director of Finance of Brookside Hospital. Choose from the following topic choices to create your presentation.

• Telemedicine and Reimbursement Policies: With the advancement of telemedicine technologies, policymakers are grappling with how to integrate telehealth services into reimbursement models. Policies need to address issues such as which telehealth services are reimbursable, reimbursement rates, and licensure requirements across state lines. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many policymakers temporarily expanded telehealth reimbursement to ensure continued access to care while minimizing in-person visits.
• Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Meaningful Use Incentives: Governments often incentivize healthcare providers to adopt EHR systems through programs like the Meaningful Use program in the United States. These incentives encourage the adoption of technology to improve patient care coordination, data sharing, and clinical decision-making. Reimbursement may be tied to meeting certain criteria related to EHR adoption and meaningful use, thereby promoting the integration of technology into healthcare delivery.
• Value-Based Care and Health Information Exchange (HIE): In value-based care models, providers are reimbursed based on patient outcomes rather than the volume of services provided. Health Information Exchange (HIE) technology plays a critical role in facilitating data sharing among providers, enabling better coordination of care and improved outcomes. Reimbursement in value-based care models may incentivize the adoption of HIE technology by rewarding providers who effectively use data to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care.
• Genomic Medicine and Precision Healthcare: Advances in genomic sequencing technology have the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling personalized medicine tailored to individuals’ genetic makeup. However, integrating genomic data into clinical practice requires updated policies related to data privacy, consent, and reimbursement for genetic testing and interpretation. Policymakers need to ensure that reimbursement policies support the adoption of genomic medicine while addressing ethical and equity considerations.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Clinical Decision Support: AI technologies offer opportunities to improve clinical decision-making, diagnostic accuracy, and patient outcomes. However, integrating AI into clinical practice requires addressing regulatory challenges, ensuring data privacy and security, and establishing reimbursement models for AI-driven services. Policymakers need to develop frameworks that balance innovation with patient safety and equitable access to AI-enabled healthcare services.

Create a PPT presentation and include speaker notes. Use the Notes Section of each slide to expand on the points you are making. I have to record myself giving the presentation so speaker notes on what to say are needed.

Your presentation should include:

Introduction

• Describe a current innovative trend in healthcare and how it can improve healthcare delivery, cost-effectiveness, and patient outcomes.
• Include the relevant details so the audience can understand the trend.
• Explain the challenges in healthcare economics or health outcomes this trend attempts to address.

Policy/Legislation

• Describe one policy or law and its impact in relation to the selected trend.
• Be sure to cite the source of the law/policy and provide a two- or three-sentence summary of it, then describe the impact.
• Explain how this law or policy has affected healthcare economics.

Reimbursement Methods

• Describe the impact of the reimbursement methods associated with the selected trend.
• How does the reimbursement method impact quality, cost, and access to care?
• How does the reimbursement method drive changes in consumer and/or provider behavior?

Technology

Conclusions

• Identify one possible change in policy or legislation that would further drive innovation and improvement in healthcare outcomes and healthcare economics.

Healthcare providers are paid in different ways for the services they offer. Examples of common payment models are fee-for-service, capitation, and value-based care. Understanding these payment models helps us see how they affect the cost, quality, and accessibility of healthcare for everyone.

The goal of this assessment is for you to explore the history of healthcare payment models in hospital environments starting from the 1960s and describe how the evolution of payment models affects consumer costs and behavior.

CASE STUDY The state of Missouri has 114 counties, plus the city of St. Louis. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s County Health Rankings & Roadmaps website ranks Pemiscot County 115th in health outcomes (RWJF 2017), making it the least healthy county in Missouri. According to the website, Pemiscot County has a premature death rate of 16,000, compared to Missouri’s overall rate of 7,700 and the top US performers rate of 5,200 (measured by years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population, age-adjusted). Pemiscot County has 3.530 persons per primary care physician, whereas Missouri has 1.420 and the top US performers have 1.040. It has 56 percent of children in single-parent households, whereas Missouri has 34 percent and the top US performers have 21 percent. Residents of Pemiscot County, compared with Missouri citizens overall, are more likely to report poor or fair health, adult smoking, adult obesity, sexually transmitted infections, less access to exercise opportunities, significantly more teen births, significantly fewer dentists per capita, and significantly longer hospital stays. Excessive drinking does not appear to be worse in Pemiscot County, however. According to the Community Commons website, the county has only one hospital located in the middle of the county. The total population in Pemiscot County is 18,296, according to 2010 US Census Bureau data, and 2016 census estimates break down the population as follows: 70.8 percent white (compared with 76.9 percent in the United States), 26.6 percent black or African American (compared with 13.3 percent in the United States), and 2.5 percent Hispanic or Latino (compared with 17.8 percent in the United States). There are 6,975 households in the county, with 83.4 percent of the residents living in the same house they occupied the previous year. The median household income is $29,238 (compared with $53,889 in the United States), and 73.7 percent of residents have a high school degree (compared with 86.7 percent in the United States). Case Study Discussion Questions 1. Describe several metrics that should be included in a population health registry to track the health status of residents in Pemiscot County. 2. Who is responsible for gathering those metrics? 3. Which stakeholders would be interested in accessing a population health registry? Who should have access to that registry? 4. What is the role of medical care in population health? The public health department? The healthcare industry? Community-based programs? Individuals? Employers? 5 What are some interventions that could help improve the health outcomes in Pemiscot County? How can the registry support these outcomes being evidence-based?

The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics of this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

Introduction:

Midtown Neurology was started by a single physician who had been practicing in the community for nearly twenty years. As the practice grew, it evolved from a mom-n-pop operation to a more complex model. The founding physician recruited four new neurologists to join and continue to help build the practice. Subsequently, however, the new doctors took over and forced him out of the practice.

Tasks:Case Study Six: From Nothing to Something: Defining Governance and Infrastructure in a Small Medical Practice

Read the above case study; your task would be to evaluate this case study utilizing the format below. Make sure to include at least two scholarly/peer-reviewed articles to help support your evaluation.

Case Study Evaluation

• Prepare a written report of the case using the following format:
• Background Statement: What is going on in this case as it relates to the identified major problem?
• What are (only) the key points the reader needs to know in order to understand how you will solve the case?
• Summarize the scenario in your own wordsdo not simply regurgitate the case. Briefly describe the organization, setting, situation, who is involved, who decides what, etc. Specifically identify the major problems and secondary issues.
• What are the real issues? What are the differences? Can secondary issues become major problems?
• Present an analysis of the causes and effects.
• Fully explain your reasoning. Declare your role in a sentence or a short paragraph explaining from which role you will address the major problem and whether you are the chief administrator in the case or an outside consultant called in to advise.
• Regardless of your choice, you must justify in writing as to why you chose that role. What are the advantages and disadvantages of your selected role? Be specific.
• Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
• Identify the strengths and weaknesses that exist in relation to the major problem. Again, your focus here should be in describing what the organization is capable of doing (and not capable of doing) with respect to addressing the major problem. Thus, the identified strengths and weaknesses should include those at the managerial level of the problem. For example, if you have chosen to address the problem from the departmental perspective and the department is understaffed, that is a weakness worthy of mentioning. Be sure to remember to include any strengths/weaknesses that may be related to diversity issues.
• Find out alternatives and recommend a solution.
• Describe the two to three alternative solutions you came up with. What feasible strategies would you recommend? What are the pros and cons? State what should be donewhy, how, and by whom. Be specific. Evaluate how you would know when youve gotten there. There must be measurable goals put in place with the recommendations. Money is easiest to measure; what else can be measured? What evaluation plan would you put in place to assess whether you are reaching your goals?
• TIP: Write this section as if you are trying to sell your proposed solution to the organization. Convince the reader that your proposed solution is the best available and that it will work as planned. Make sure that the goals you identify are worth the effort required to achieve them!
