Answer & Explanation:Final Presentation
For your Final Presentation you will be presenting on the U.S.
healthcare system. Imagine you are a community health director educating
a group of new healthcare professionals on the U.S. healthcare system.
You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation, which includes
the elements listed below:
Note: You will be using Part 1 from week three for the first section of
the Final Presentation. Please make sure to correct issues and address
any recommendations from your instructors Week 3 Assignment feedback.
Introduction: Include a title slide. Next, include an introductory slide
where you introduce yourself and explain what you are about to present.
Part I: The U.S. Healthcare System Define the U.S. healthcare system
by addressing the items below:
Describe the history of the U.S. health care system. Include at least
three of the revolutionary factors (e.g., teachers union in Dallas,
Texas; the American Medical Association; Civil War, and the First Marine
Hospital, etc.). Chapter two in our textbook discusses the evolution of
our system and is a good resource for this part of your presentation.
Identify at least one major development from each of the following:
financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [i.e., consumer
demand]) that transformed the system into what it is today. You may want
to revisit the health care timelines available in your course textbook.
Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (i.e., health care
professionals, clients [patients], government, colleges, and health care
agencies. ?Include the positive and negative contributions of how they
affect our health care system.
Part II: The Cost of the U.S. Healthcare System
Describe the costs and how they are set (i.e., reimbursement methods,
managed care organizations, Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance).
Explain how technology has affected costs (e.g., EHR, medical research,
equipment improvements like MRI, mammography, etc.) and delivery of
quality care (e.g., personalized medicine, mobile services like
ePrescribing, disease registries, etc.).
Part III: The United States Versus Other Health Care Systemsan
International Perspective
Contrast the U.S. health care system with at least one other (e.g.,
Canadas universal health care vs. U.S. healthcare or South Africa vs.
U.S. health care, etc.). ?Include at least one positive aspect from the
other countrys health care system that you would like to see added to
the U.S. healthcare system. Explain why you would like to see this in
our system.
Part IV: Reforms and Improvements
Describe any potential reforms and improvements that are currently
being discussed at either the local, state, or federal level. Your work
must be based upon scholarly research, not media commentary. ?Examples
could include the following: Federal modifications (i.e., Medicare
reform, repealing PPACA, universal type system, etc.)
State modifications(i.e., Medicaid reform, income tax credits, etc.)
Increased consumer controls
Note: The PPACA is not an appropriate reform or improvement to be
described here because it is already law and not a future improvement.
However, if there is a proposal to amend or eliminate, then you can
include that potential reform.
Conclusion: Future of the U.S. healthcare system
Explain what you believe the U.S. healthcare system will look like in
the next 10 years. Give at least two recommendations for change.
Address access to care, quality of care, and cost of care including an
example of each in your vision of our future healthcare system.
Creating the Final Presentation
The Final Pr
esentation must:
Be 15 to 20 slides, which includes Part 1, (excludes the title slide
and reference slides) and formatted according to APA style as outlined
in the Ashford Writing Center.
Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation. You have a
choice of one of the following options for adding the narrative to your
presentation. Option 1 is using voice or Option 2 is adding speaker
notes to each slide.
?Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the tutorial
using this link: adding and recording voice to each slide.You can also
click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement and
Privacy Policy. If you choose this option, you must include your APA
formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as well.
Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are clear
and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice narrations
that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause your PPT file to be
very large (megabytes). You may have trouble loading it to Waypoint.
Revisions may be necessary if this occurs.
?Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You can review
the tutorial using this link: adding speaker notes to your
presentation. You can also click on the following links to view the
Accessibility Statement , and the Privacy Policy.
Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that
complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short
bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are
essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to
explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is
important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when
explaining the bullet points.
?It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five
bullet points and should not contain more than 5 7 words each. Do not
type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that
explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording
your voice to each slide.
?It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the
use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use the voice
capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your citations in the
speaker notes for each slide.
Be visually engaging. For assistance with designing the visuals for
your presentation, view the video Don McMillan: Life after death by
PowerPoint (click on the following links to view the Accessibility
Statement or the Privacy Policy) or the PowerPoint Best Practices tool.
Include a title slide with the following: ?Title of the presentation
?Student name
?Course name and number
?Instructor name
?Date submitted
Address the sections in the order outlined above (Introduction, Part I,
II, III, and IV).
Present the issues with critical thought.
Use at least two scholarly sources (none of which should be media
commentary, at least one should be from the Ashford University Library).
Document all sources in APA format (including graphics, charts and
pictures that may be used within the presentation). Wikimedia Commons is
a recommended source for creative commons images (to view the privacy
policy, click here).
Include a separate reference slide formatted according to APA style as
outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
If you are unable to access the technology for this assignment due to a
