Health Care Delivery Systems (HDS)

The final exam for this course is going to be the creation of a cumulative document that relates what you learned throughout the semester in relation to the components of the ‘Big 6’. The rationale for this approach is to assist you in identifying and better understanding how the 6 components of the ‘Big 6’ individually and collectively impact every aspect of an organization, and in this case your organizations. The purpose for providing the details of the final exam and the instructions this first week is so that as you work on your reading assignments each week that you can be looking in each chapter for information about each of the 6 components for your final paper. The ‘Big 6’ document is embedded below for easy access and I highly recommend that you print it out and keep it handy as you complete your reading assignments each week and perhaps start identifying thoughts for the final paper as you go.

⦁ Before beginning your final paper view this short online article entitled: “Collective Impact: A Collaborative Approach to Creating Change” it will provide you with some ideas on how to write your collective impact statement for the ‘Big Six’.
