CHE 329 Module Two Journal Guidelines and Rubric

In this course, the journal will be used for reflection. Journal activities in this course are private between you and the instructor.

Overview: For this journal assignment, due in Module Two, you will explore the role of stakeholders in the aging network. You will also reflect on the interconnectedness of the aging network and ruminate on the future, given rapidly changing technology as well as the rapidly changing aging population.

Prompt: First, read Chapters 2 and 3 in The Aging Networks: A Guide to Programs and Services and review the websites of the National Council on Aging (NCOA): Home Equity and Home Equity Facts. With what you now know about the interconnectedness of the aging network and various stakeholders, in a 2- to 3- paragraph journal entry, address the following:

 Stakeholder Dependency: What stakeholders are most dependent on the existing continuum (model) of long-term care and support services? Explain your thinking.

 Technology/Future: Discuss the role technology plays in healthcare now and the role it might play in the future to meet the changing needs of the aging population.

Guidelines for Submission: Cite from the text readings, the NCOA website, and the other course resources to support your responses. Submit journal assignment as a Word document.
