U.S. Health Care Delivery System
Question Description
Introduction to the U.S. Health Care Delivery System
The overall goal of the Session Long Project is to examine health care
delivery in the United States from a strategic perspective.
Assignment for Module 1:
President Obama signed a new bill that changed the landscape of the
health care industry. This new law has resulted in uncertainty for
patients and health care organizations. In his article, “Three Brutal
Facts That Provide Strategic Direction for Healthcare Delivery Systems:
Preparing for the End of the Healthcare Bubble,” Nathan Kaufman
discusses that the health care industry is heading for a fall and that
organizations need to prepare now by focusing their strategies on new
market realities. This will be the focus of this assignment. Please read
the article by Kaufman and then respond to the following questions.
1. Why does he believe the health care bubble is going to burst? Do you
agree or disagree with his views?
2. Discuss what he means by “Physician autonomy and the organized
medical staff will become less relevant.” Do you believe this will
improve patient care?
3. Discuss what a prepared organization is to Kaufman. Do you believe
this is what it will take to effectively deal with the health care
bubble? What are some suggestions that you have based upon this article
and your own research?
