IHP 501 Module Two: 2-1 Activity
Overview
Letters to the editor can be a platform for experts in their fields to share perspectives on debated issues of the day.
As a healthcare professional, you are uniquely positioned to compare the United States to other health systems around the globe.
Despite the high expenditures in the United States, outcomes are still poor compared to other nations.
Why is there a mismatch between healthcare spending and outcomes in the United States?
How does the United States compare to other developed and developing countries?

IHP 501 Module Two: 2-1 Activity
Prompt
You have been invited to provide a letter to the editor of a scholarly health journal.
The editor has requested that you identify the financial impacts of health and non-health policies in developed and developing countries.
Specifically, how do these policies impact cost expenditures in the United States?
Be sure to include specific points evaluating healthcare infrastructure, political barriers, and social inequities impacting health outcomes in developed and developing societies.
Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your investigation. The evidence should not be older than five years. To access the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate, go to the Start Here section of the course.

Healthcare Costs: Explain the causes of high healthcare spending in the United States compared to other developed and developing countries.
Structural Causes: Describe the healthcare infrastructure of the United States and compare it to those of other countries (e.g. Canada, Germany, United Kingdom). In what ways do these structural components (Consider: public & private health insurance, pharmaceutical & technology, informatics, funding by each state, underinsurance) drive up healthcare spending in the United States?
Political Causes: Analyze health and non-health policies (Consider: Identify a specific health policy – Affordable Care Act; Medicare, etc.) in the United States and compare them to those of other countries. In what ways do these political factors drive up healthcare spending in the United States?

2. Healthcare Outcomes: Explain the results of high healthcare spending in the United States compared to other developed and developing countries.
Effectiveness: Evaluate the healthcare outcomes (discussion related to benefits, strengths, or weaknesses) of the United States considering its spending. To what extent does the United States benefit from its high healthcare spending compared to other nations?
Inequities: Evaluate the inequities (Inequity refers to unfair, avoidable differences arising from poor governance, corruption or cultural exclusion (National Academies of Science, 2017) generated by healthcare costs in the United States as compared to other countries. To what extent do healthcare outcomes differ amongst various groups in the United States?

IHP 501 Module Two: 2-2 Project Prep Stakeholders Short Paper
Overview
Stakeholder support is critical for the success of short-term volunteer aid trips. Working responsibly and effectively with host staff is particularly important, but there are other potential stakeholders to consider.
These stakeholders might be from other not-for-profits, NGOs, philanthropists, academic institutions, government agencies, lobbyists, or other interested groups.
Investigating potential stakeholder support is a critical step in developing humanitarian aid interventions. It allows you to answer the questions:
Who will implement the intervention strategies? How will you leverage and strengthen existing community resources? Who will ensure accountability and measure success?
