Throughout this course, you have been learning about the U.S. health care delivery system and the interrelationships between cost, quality, and access. As you reflect on what you have learned, think about the key drivers for change. Consider how they affect health care delivery today and may impact it in the future.
Write a 4-page paper in which you:
- Describe two or more key drivers affecting health care organizations and the U.S. health care delivery system.
- Explain current and future implications of these drivers for health care administrators.
- Describe two or three key changes or reforms that you would like to see enacted. Explain why these changes would be important from the viewpoint of 1) the health care consumer and 2) the health care administrator.
- In your response, explain how international comparison informs your understanding of the U.S. health care delivery system, as well as opportunities for reform. Provide specific examples from the Learning Resources, including the Frontline media segment "Sick Around the World" and the movie Salud!
Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate.
