Healthcare Systems Comparative Analysis

Comparative Analysis: Instructions Although there isn’t a single reason, in general, comparison allows us to identify the areas for improvement in our own system. As you have learned in the module, resources available for healthcare, human and monetary, are limited so spending on the areas that stand to produce the most impact is critical to reducing spending, improving outcomes, and long-term sustainability. Similar to the way your unit, office, or organization may benchmark its outcomes against national outcomes or those of comparable institutions to determine future courses of action, country-to-country comparisons allow us to do the same for several key indicators of our healthcare system. The staff nurse is the hub of the interprofessional unit that cares for a client; the DNP graduate is the hub of the intersection between practice, research, and policy and should be prepared to critically analyze the major drivers of policy (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2006).

Step 1: Population Health. Compare and contrast the following measures of population health in the U.S. to comparable developed nations. You may choose a single country or multiple countries to complete this. (a) chronic disease outcomes (b) hospital-related care or patient safety outcomes (c) life expectancy (d) mortality rate In addition to the above numerical figures, summarize current statistics on how COVID-19 has impacted the overall life expectancy for U.S. citizens based on their race.

Step 2: Economics. Compare and contrast the economics of healthcare in the U.S to comparable developed nations. Include a comparison of the following: (a) gross domestic product as it relates to healthcare spending (b) healthcare expenditure per capita (c) spending priorities (d) cost sharing

Step 3: Current Issues and Sustainability. Choose and discuss ONE (1) of the following related to current issues in and the sustainability of our current system: A. Discuss at least two additional legislative policies or changes that would further improve the Affordable Care Act. Describe how these policies would improve (a) access, (b) cost, and (c) quality. Use data for illustration in your support. B. Summarize up-to-date information on U.S. birth rate trends and the growth of the senior population. What is the significance of the birth rate to the cost and sustainability of Medicaid/Medicare? C. Explain how immigration status affects healthcare utilization and health outcomes. Discuss the ethical and financial implications of providing basic healthcare services to non-legal immigrants. D. How have hospital mergers and healthcare system conglomerates impacted healthcare access and cost in rural populations? Describe why national efforts to improve health, such as the 988 mental health hotline, may not be effective in rural communities. E. Explain how climate change impacts maternal and newborn health outcomes. What changes in hospital operations may help organizations achieve carbon neutrality?

Step 4: Health Disparities. Summarize current data on a health disparity or inequity in our system. Identify some of the causes, and explain how they lead to poorer outcomes. Explain how holistic admissions and/or affirmative action in health science programs (eg, college of nursing, medicine) work to reduce health disparities.

Additional Notes: •The paper should be approximately 6-7 pages in length (excluding title and reference pages). •This is a formal paper and should include and introduction and a conclusion and avoid the use of first person. •The paper should be organized with APA-formatted headings that are consistent with rubric order. •Peer-reviewed references, evidence (results of formal inquiry published in the literature), and current data are your primary types of support and are necessary to develop posts as expected. There should be a minimum of 10 references included as support for your work. •Relevant statistics and numerical data are expected to support your work throughout. Submission Instructions: The paper should be submitted as either a Word document or a PDF to the designated space. Your work will automatically be submitted to turnitin.com upon submission to the course.

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

0-45%

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
