HS230-5: Describe the theoretical basis, development, and resources of the U.S. health care delivery system.

Assignment Introduction:

The U.S. health care system has evolved over time, beginning as  undefined and unorganized. Most people received care in their homes by  family, and if they needed a higher level of care, they would go to a  hospital where “physicians” had no formal training, and disease and  death were common outcomes. The development of the U.S. health care  delivery system from its early days has been extraordinary. This has  included early efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care  delivery through sanitation and education and evolving funding  mechanisms such as employer-sponsored and public health insurance.

You are currently working for a large health care organization and  have been asked to put together a fact sheet that describes the history,  theoretical basis, development, and resources of the U.S. health care  delivery system that will be used to market health care services to the  community. You may use this template, or create your own. The fact sheet should include:

  1. A timeline that includes at least five (5) of the most important  changes that occurred in the history of the U.S. health care delivery  system from the timelines in the Unit 2 readings and/or learning  activity. This should include information about the key players and  stakeholders involved in its evolution.
  2. A description of at least three (3) reasons, or the theoretical  basis, for developing the U.S. health care delivery system that  discusses some of the social, economic, and political factors that have  influenced its development.
  3. A description of the resources that are available within the U.S.  health care delivery system. This should include a summary of the  people, places, technologies, and funding sources that make up the  system.

Requirements:

  • Your submission is composed in a Microsoft Word® document that is at  least 500 words in length and provides specific examples of concepts  and other elements to address the topic
  • Your submission includes an individual and logical viewpoint and purpose.
  • Your response is in Standard English and demonstrates good organization.
