Law and Ethics in Healthcare
Week 11 Discussion
Futurescan: Issues Affecting the Healthcare System
This week’s readings touch on numerous issues affecting the healthcare industry now and in the future. Which of these issues has the potential to impact you either professionally or personally? Which of these issues are of particular concern and interest in your career as a healthcare administrator?
To prepare for this Discussion:
· This week, you examined the many potential issues and changes that can affect the healthcare system. Based on the knowledge you have gained throughout this course, consider what you think to be the most important or pertinent healthcare policy issue affecting the healthcare industry today. How might this issue improve healthcare costs? How might it transform the way health care is delivered? How might it change the way people access health care in the future? Think of an issue that has both current and future implications.
· For example, in the Learning Resources, you explored elements and reports in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service’s Next Generation ACO model in 2016–2021. This overview offers a good example of current trends affecting relevant healthcare issues such as cost and access to care.
Post your Discussion, to include the following:
· Based on insights you have gained throughout this course and the Learning Resources from this week, explain what you think is the most pertinent healthcare policy issue with the potential to transform the way health care is delivered. In your post, make sure to include the following:
· Outline the policy in question with a brief history and background of the issue it addresses or does not address well.
· Outline the barriers to passing (or defeating) this policy and posit solutions as to how to overcome these barriers. These barriers may include insurance coverage, eligibility, or reimbursement.
· Analyze the stakeholders involved in this issue and the effects passing the policy (or changing/defeating the policy) may have on their outcomes and interests.
· Provide a rationale for implementation of a policy brief from a legal, ethical, and operational perspective. Be specific and provide examples.
· Lastly, make recommendations (i.e., changes in policy, changes in delivery of care, changes in focus for legislation, changes in insurance coverages or reimbursement) for current and future practice.
Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
