Write a brief 2-3 page report about a health care economic issue that you have identified. Address the reasons why you selected the issue you did; identify how this issue impacts the work of you, your colleagues, and your organization; and describe the gap that you see contributing to this issue.

Introduction

Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

Health care economics has the potential to affect each of us either personally or professionally. This impact can be viewed from a health economics point-of-view (where we discuss the value of health care and its efficiency), or it can examine how health care is financed (focus on how health care is funded). Health economics and health care funding have the potential to influence health care outcomes in a variety of ways. As you move through this course, you will work toward developing a potential solution for a health care issue within your current or desired health care system. The goal of this assessment is to identify an economic health care issue that you will address throughout the course.

Context and Background

Health care economics has the potential to affect each of us either personally or professionally. This impact can be viewed from a health economics point-of-view (where we discuss the value of health care and its efficiency) or it can examine how health care is financed (focus on how health care is funded). Health economics and health care funding have the potential to influence health care outcomes in a variety of ways. The bulleted list below outlines topics and health care issues that many institutions encounter. Organizations often have to implement strategies or initiatives to resolve or improve these issues and create positive patient and institution outcomes.

Examples of health care economic issues:

• The influence of health care economics on community healthfor example, social determinants of health (such as access to care and health care finance).
• Supply and demand: How do we in the health care environment exist when there are more needs from communities and patients than we have the resources to supply? An example of this would be a high number of patients and low resource levels such as staff, supplies, and equipment.
• The publics attitude toward health, disease, and the health care systemfor example, how money is distributed has the potential to impact the health care outcomes of certain populations. An example of this would be the lack of access and funding for underserved and rural communities.
• Other issues might include access to care, social determinants of health, senior health, food insecurity or food desserts, inadequate staffing, homelessness, rehospitalization environmental issues leading to chronic disease, et cetera.

As you move through this course, you will work toward developing a potential solution for a health care issue within your current or desired health care system. The goal of this assessment is to identify an economic health care issue that you will address throughout the course.

Later in the course, you will (a) conduct a needs analysis to justify your focus on this topic area using the literature of the field, (b) present an argument for change in your organization bolstered by a cost-benefit analysis, and (c) advocate for this change at the state level. Keep these future assessments in mind as you select your topic.

For this assessment, using information on hospital discharges from last year, perform multiple regression on the relationship between hospital costs and patient age, risk factors, and patient satisfaction scores, and then generate a prediction to support this healthcare decision.

Write a 34 page analysis of the results in a Word document and insert the test results into this document (copied from the output file and pasted into a Word document). Write a recommendation to determine if a value-based contract should be accepted and what actions should be taken to support the decision. Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the results.

The numbered assessment instructions outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Predicting an Outcome Using Regression Models Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. You may also want to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

Purpose

• Synthesize and apply knowledge of lifespan development by creating a narrated PowerPoint that explores a specific topic or theory in depth.

Assessment aligns with course objectives 1, 2, and 10, and general education competency: communication.

Instructions

Create an approximately 5-minute narrated PowerPoint on a specific topic or theory related to development. This allows you to demonstrate your understanding through visual aids, narration, and interactive elements.

1. Select a specific topic or theory related to development that interests you (e.g., Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, Erikson’s psychosocial stages, attachment theory, language acquisition, successful aging, cognitive development in aging, adolescent storm and stress, adolescent identity development and adolescent egocentrism, death and dying, marriage and divorce, work and retirement, etc.). If you have another topic idea, please contact your instructor to see if it would work well for the final project.
2. Research and gather relevant information, examples, and visuals (images, videos, diagrams) to illustrate the key concepts and principles of your chosen topic/theory.
3. Create a narrated PowerPoint (approximately 5-minutes) that effectively communicates your understanding of the topic/theory through:
4. Visual aids (slides, images, diagrams, animations) to represent key ideas and concepts
5. Narration or voiceover to explain the content
6. Interactive elements (quizzes, activities, simulations) to engage the audience and reinforce learning
7. Ensure your presentation has a clear structure, with an introduction that provides context, main body that explores the topic/theory in depth, and a conclusion that summarizes the key takeaways.
8. Incorporate relevant examples, case studies, or real-world applications to demonstrate how the theory/concepts relate to actual development and experiences.
9. Include proper citations and references for any sources used in your research and presentation.
10. Consider adding multimedia elements like videos, audio clips, or interactive simulations to enhance the presentation and make it more engaging for the audience.
11. Practice your presentation, ensuring smooth transitions, clear narration, and effective use of multimedia elements.

Tips

1. You can use
3. , built into Canvas, to record your audio and your screen (MCC Videos, 2021).
4. Here is a YouTube tutorial on
6. (How to Canvas, 2021).
7. Reminder: you can , including PowerPoint to your device for free using your MCC student email account.
8. If you’re sharing a PowerPoint online or Google Slides file, make sure you’ve enabled permissions, so your instructor can view your file.
9. Design tip: don’t overwhelm your slides with text or make the text too small. The text on your slides should highlight the important information. A good rule of thumb is the 7 x 7 rule: try not to include more than 7 words on a line and more than 7 lines of text on a slide.
10. Presentation tip: don’t read off your slides. Your narration should expand on the key pieces of information in your slides.
