Problem
I. What major trends affecting health care delivery do you believe will be important over the next five years? How so?
Complete the readings and videos, then consider and respond to these ideas:
II. Three principal drivers of change in the health care system have been discussed in this week's reading. How do you think they will impact care from a patient perspective? From a provider prospective?
III. Explore the new technologies being discussed in health care (electronic medical records are not considered 'new' at this point). What will these bring to our health care system in terms of benefits? Challenges? Added costs? (Include web links as you use examples of technology.)
