Characteristics of the U.S. Health Care Delivery System 

What makes the U.S. health care delivery system unique? What are the strengths of this vast system, and what are the limitations? How have the philosophical, economic, political, and cultural influences of this nation shaped health care delivery?

Review the Learning Resources, and think about the characteristics of the U.S. health care delivery system with the following questions in mind:

•What are the key components of the U.S. health care system?

•Have the components changed as a result of the Affordable Care Act?

•How are these components organized?

•How do the interests, concerns, or foci of these multiple components intersect with and/or differ with one another?

•How have philosophical, economic, political, and cultural influences helped shape this system as it is today?

With this in mind, write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:

•Describe two or more defining characteristics of the U.S. system that you believe are particularly important when considering the delivery of health care in this country. Explain why.

•Articulate how these defining characteristics reflect philosophical, economic, political, and/or cultural influences particular to the United States.

•Describe potential implications of these characteristics and how they affect health care administrators, including opportunities for change within health care organizations or the delivery system.

Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Online Module 2

This week you will create Module 2 of your online course. Remember to use the design work you did in Week One as a guide.

Your Module must include the following:
A brief module overview: What will the students learn ?

 Two to three learning objectives.

 A 7-10 slide content PowerPoint presentation that teaches the Module 2 objectives.

 Two to three additional learning resources (i.e. videos, websites, articles) that relate to the Module 2 objectives/content and can be used to support learning.

 A discussion prompt that you would have students answer. Remember, you want discussion prompts to simulate critical thinking. Note: Set up the discussion in a way that is different from that of the previous week’s discussion. For example, create a scenario that sets up the discussion, or find an engaging, accessible video to base the discussion question around. 

 An assignment based on the content within the content presentation: With this, you need to create directions for an assignment you would have students complete in Module 2, as well as a rubric for grading the assignment. Note: This assignment should have a collaborative component to it (i.e. group work). .

 A five-item quiz that assesses student’s knowledge of the Module 2.
