An understanding of health care cost, access to care, and quality
of care is vital for health care professionals, as is the ability to
articulate these issues. For this assignment, students will examine
the effects of cost and the issues associated with accessing
quality care, both in a historical context as well as the future
impact on health care. For this assignment, address the following
in 750-1,000 word paper:
Identify the factors contributing to the rising cost of health care.
When did rising health care costs become an issue? Why are
health care costs continuing to rise? What can be done to
address this issue?
Identify the impact that cost is having on access to care. How
does access to health care today compare to 10 years ago? Can
providers refuse care to those with certain payment methods
such as Medicaid? Do you believe that we will have universal
access to health care in the future?
Discuss the issue of providing quality care. How much of a factor
is cost in determining quality of care? What does the future of
health care look like with regard to quality?
