Health Care System

Our health care system changes frequently. In this assignment, you will review our current health care system and how it has evolved in the past eight years. This will give you the necessary background knowledge to complete this assignment and other assignments in this course. Research different events or shifts in our health care system within the past 3 to 5 years.

Select a current event or shift in the health care system from your research. This resource could be from a newspaper, magazine, or journal from the University Library or a similar source. Write a 500 to 700-word reflection that details the changing landscape of our health care system based on your research and selected current event or shift.

Your reflection should: Explain the current event or shift you selected. Describe the impact of this current event or shift on the health care system on health care consumers. Remember, you, your friends, and your family are health care consumers. As you think about the impact on consumers, consider the impact experienced when there was a shift from acute care to wellness and prevention and a shift in accountability. Explain your personal perception of the current event or shift you have selected. Remember, it is not appropriate to share personal medical information and background.
