• HCA 305 Week 1 DQ 1 Cost, Quality, and Access
•  
• Cost, Quality, and Access. Sultz and Young (2011)
  note that there is currently a strong movement
  within the U.S. health care system to address
  the seemingly unresolvable need to correct
  problems of access and cost without compromising
  the quality of care (pg. 1). After viewing the
  required video Reinventing Healthcare-A Fred
  Friendly Seminar, discuss how one of the cases
  presented during the seminar is an example of the
  tension between cost, access, and quality.
  Highlight what you consider to be the biggest
  problem inherent in the system.

• HCA 305 Week 2 DQ 1 Hospital System Quality
  Improvement
•  
• Hospital System Quality Improvement. Imagine that
  you have recently been appointed as the head of a
  large hospital system. Youve been hired into
  this role by the Board of Trustees for your vast
  knowledge on how to improve the quality of
  services. Over the last few years, the hospital
  system has had a number of issues arise related
  to the quality of care it provides, including
  numerous medical malpractice cases, low patient
  satisfaction ratings, and a warning from the
  national organization that accredits the
  hospital, to improve the quality or risk losing
  its accreditation.
• Based on this weeks reading
• What are some of the issues that you would want
  to explore to help improve the quality?
• What information/data would you ask for to help
  analyze the problem?
• What are some of the areas that you would want to
  focus on to help improve the quality of the
  hospital?
• Suggest at least one solution to improving poor
  quality of care in a hospital system.

• HCA 305 Week 2 DQ 2 Choosing a Health Care
  Provider
• Choosing a Health Care Provider. Numerous
  resources now exist that allow individuals to
  make an informed choice of who will provide their
  medical care. Unfortunately, the average health
  care consumer is unaware of where to find
  information about hospitals, medical providers,
  and insurance coverage. Imagine that you are
  assisting someone in your community (a real or
  fictitious person of your choice) in finding a
  medical provider. In your post, provide a brief
  description of this person and address the
  following questions
• What factors would you need to keep in mind while
  conducting this search?

•  
•  HCA 305 Week 2 The Patient Protection and
  Affordable Care Act of 2010
•  
• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of
  2010. With the passing of the P.P.A.C.A., the
  government has taken a step towards reshaping the
  health care system. For this assignment, you will
  use the library to research some of the key
  characteristics of the act and take a position on
  what you think some of the biggest pros and cons
  of the act are. You should review some of the
  major historical developments that resulted in
  the passage of the law, and explain the major
  influences that shaped its creation. In addition,
  you will need to find a popular lay media report
  (like a website or newspaper/magazine article)
  that supports your position. Compare and contrast
  the information reported in the article with
  other official information available from
  academic research and/or governmental sources.
  Finally, you should analyze how the law will
  affect the U.S. health care system in terms of
  cost, quality, access, and the provision of
  services.

  implemented. In your own words, provide a brief
  description of the recommendation, including the
  rationale for it. Explain why you believe this
  recommendation is important. Then, conduct a
  search to identify an example of how this
  recommendation has been implemented. Provide a
  description of the example, including an overview
  of any research that has been done to show its
  effectiveness. Discuss the effect of the
  implementation of this recommendation.

  Care Professional

  Mounting research suggests that the demand for
  health care professionals is growing while supply
  is starting to decrease. However, the rates of
  supply and demand vary greatly depending on
  region of the country. Based on the reading for
  the week and your independent research
• What is the state of the supply and demand for
  health care professionals in your area?
• Describe the concerns, interests, and influences
  of the health care work force in your area.

  access to advanced technologies, and/or the
  health care consumer population might affect a
  health care professionals desire to work in the
  area.
• In addition, conduct a search for future jobs in
  your intended field. What did your search reveal?

•  HCA 305 Week 4 DQ 2 Medicare Debate
•  
• Medicare Debate. The Medicare system is currently
  undergoing a dramatic shift, as the number of
  people participating is increasing, which in turn
  has enormous consequences for how it is funded.
  Some argue that Medicare spending is out of
  control and will result in a collapse of the
  system if nothing changes, while others claim the
  system is doing well and is meeting the needs of
  the millions of Americans who have no other
  health care. For this discussion, you will
  participate in a debate with your classmates
  about Medicare.
• Students whose last names start with the letters
  A-M will be on the Maintain Medicare As-Is
  side. Students whose last names start with N-Z
  will be on the Reform Medicare side.
• To start, you will need to craft your initial
  argument in support of the side you have been
  assigned based on your last name (either maintain
  or reform). This post must be a minimum of 300
  words. Describe how the organization and delivery
  of Medicare and the social, financial, legal,
  ethical, and regulatory forces impact your side
  of the debate. Remember, your post must analyze
  how these factors work together to support your
  assigned view on Medicare reform. Even if you do
  not personally agree with the side that has been
  assigned to you, you must still present a
  convincing argument that upholds that side in
  your initial post and your responses.
