Please log into my university UMGC, the class is The US Health care system. Read the material the professor has asked us to read and follow his instructions carefully. So far I have not received a passing grade on anything that has been written for me. Four basic reasons for US healthcare expenditures being so high are discussed in the Lecture notes. These are: 1. The US does not regulate the price for healthcare services – using, in most cases, a free market approach to determine prices. 2. We are getting older as a society – and age and cost go up together. 3. We are not a very healthy nation – the consequences of a number of lifestyle choices contributes to the high cost of chronic care. 4. Our overall system doesn’t’t seem to work as well other healthcare systems – with all kinds of variations going on in the actual delivery of care. Given that the money and human resources are ultimately limited, what can be done to improve the EFFICIENCY of the US healthcare system? Please answer this question from two perspectives: 1. What should (can) senior health policy makers do to improve the efficiency of the overall healthcare system? 2. What can individual healthcare professionals do to improve the operational efficiency of their own organizations? As you answer and discuss your answers, be sure to consider how you plan to overcome the practical barriers to implementing your ideas. (Remember that this discussion is about efficiency – not effectiveness. I have posted a short slide set in this week’s content section on what these terms mean).
