Using the Community Health Care Roles and Functions Table, examine the health care professions and departments involved in public policy, outcomes, and social marketing aspects of the health care field. Note that the list from the table is not all-inclusive. These are simply some of the most visible roles involved in community support and government policy regarding health care.
Determine the following for each role or professional area:
Where it fits as a component in the chronic health care model (refer to the Unit 4 media piece).
What the job duties entail, or what services the job provides.
What might motivate individuals in that job role (typically more than money).
Whether the role is reimbursable by insurance.
What specific education or preparation is required for the role (include degree and topic of study, such as bachelor's degree in nursing).
The name of the primary professional organization representing the role.
