INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE HEALTH POLICY: OPPORTUNITIES AND LESSONS FOR THE UNITED STATES

Assignment Overview

Countries around the world take different approaches to addressing health and health care for their citizens. While developing countries have much different needs than industrialized countries, comparing nations that fall into like categories can provide valuable insight into how to improve health care for a populace. In 2010, policy analysts at the Commonwealth Fund began a comparative analysis of the United States health care with other high-income countries. Their 4th iteration of this study was published in 2021, entitled Mirror, Mirror 2021: Reflecting Poorly – Health care in the U.S. compared to other high- income countries. Five domains were examined in their study: access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes.

Case Assignment

After reviewing the background materials and conducting your own research, answer each of the following:

Explain each of the five domains.

Review the United States’ performance for each of these domains.

What four characteristics do other, better-performing countries have that distinguish them from the United States?

What lessons can the United States learn from other countries? Be sure that you are using more than just the Commonwealth Fund report to answer this question.
