CHose a topic

 

The purpose of the Term Paper is for you to explore a health care topic in depth, collect information about that topic, analyze that information, and make recommendations.

The topic of the Term Paper can be any area in the health care system that is of interest to you and that you want to explore further (it could be a topic that is covered later in the semester). The topic should have a narrow focus, and not a broad focus, such as Medicaid fraud. An example of an acceptable topic is comparing Medicaid fraud in two states or how has health care technology progressed in a specific state, what are its successes and failures?

The Term Paper is a research paper, which will have the following sections:

introduction,

specific health care issue you will explore,

literature review,

findings, and

discussion, conclusions, and recommendations.

The Term Paper, itself, is due at the end of the course, Week 15. The Term Paper should be at least 12 pages double spaced, excluding the title page and the references, and be in 12-point font, Times New Roman with normal 1-inch margins. The paper should be in American Psychological Association (APA) style. You will need at least 8 references in your paper. While newspaper articles provide information, they are not considered references for the Term Paper. References should be things such as, academic articles or government reports.

The assignment for this week is to submit two to three paragraphs that describes your Term Paper topic and what you will do in the Term Paper. The Term Paper Topic assignment

Shifting Toward Population Health

Healthcare administrators direct and coordinate medical services in facilities such as hospitals, public health agencies, and managed care organizations. In order to accomplish this directive, healthcare administrators need to be current on mandates, health initiatives, and population health programs. This requires the exploration of a variety of resources on health initiatives and public health programs.

The term population health was introduced in 2003 by Dave Kindig and Greg Stoddart who defined the term as “the health outcome of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018, para. 1). Nash, Fabius, Skoufalos, Clarke, and Horowitz (2016) argue that the only way to improve the total health of the United States is to shift our focus from healthcare that is reactive to healthcare that proactive and promotes health and wellness. We spend a lot of time treating and focusing on a patient’s disease/illness and spend little time focusing on the conditions that contribute to the disease/illness. For that reason, it is important to understand social determinants of health (SDOH) and how they factor into the comprehensive picture of population health (Zangerle, 2016).

Post a single 3- or 4-paragraph response that addresses the following prompts (your Instructor will notify you of the due date):

Choose a federal or state initiative that focuses on population health – choose a topic that interests you
Explain how that initiative shifts the focus from the individual person to population health
Evaluate the importance of shifting from individual health to population health
Consider discussing how you, as an administrator, could collaborate with other healthcare disciplines to ensure the success of the initiative you selected
Explain why understanding and incorporating a focus on social determinants of health is vital to affecting population health.
