Assignment:
The Role of Government and Its Economic Impact on Health and Medical Care (Presentation)
Dewar (2010) indicates that the field of economics can provide a structure to examine "the implications of individual decision making and help define the alternative mechanisms to improve resource allocation" (p. 9), but it cannot be used as a solution to all issues concerning healthcare access and delivery.
Economists prepare economic analysis briefs to provide insight into how economic market forces operate. For this assignment, prepare an economic analysis brief in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that describes the role of government, economic policies, and/or mandates in the healthcare industry to demonstrate an understanding of Module 2. (You can choose to examine the United States or a foreign country.) Discuss and synthesize key elements from at least two recent scholarly articles (found in the CSU-Global Library) that address one of the following points:
• Types of government intervention used to address health and medical care needs.
• Apply economic models, theories, or assumptions in government economic policies.
• Assess economic policy recommendations for healthcare stakeholders.
Your analysis should be thoughtful and thorough, well written, and should include:
• A minimum of 15 slides (not including the title and reference slides).
• Speaker's notes containing 50-100 words per slide to elaborate on the visual/text content on the slide.
• Appropriate graphics, multi-media, and other visual elements to enhance the presentation delivery.
