Homework: U.S. Health Care Systems for Small Populations
Your project throughout this course will:
1) Analyze an existing health care system and evaluate how that system can be improved to better serve the community.
2) Conceive a new or improved health care service, then design a facility to provide that service.
3) Develop the structure, functions, and processes of the facility.
4) Submit an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) proposal.
Your proposal should be fiscally, socially, ethically, and politically responsible. The goal is to have a net positive benefit to the health care system and the community it serves.
To begin, select an existing health care system in a small U.S. city preferably in the state where you live. The city should have a population of less than 200,000. (Maryland)
Include a profile of the city you selected with details such as:
1) Map of the city - Please find a map with as much detail as possible (not a Google map just showing the pinpoint).
2) Types and locations of medical services available currently
3) Demographics (population, age, gender, etc.)
4) Income and employment
5) Residential detail and any other details you were able to find in your research
Include a rationale of why you selected the city, including if you have any prior experience or knowledge about the existing health care system in that city.
