Throughout the course, we have examined various facets of the U.S. health system and the forces that have shaped it into our current system. At the outset of the course, we briefly discussed the World Health Organizations (WHO) six building blocks of a health system. In this assignment, you will compare the U.S. health system with the six building blocks developed by the WHO.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will examine the U.S. health system using each building block as a lens and determine if the U.S. possesses the attributes highlighted within each block. Once you have evaluated the U.S. against the WHOs framework, you will decide whether the U.S. meets the criteria of a strong health system. If you determine that the U.S. does not meet the criteria, highlight two to three areas (building blocks) to improve the health system and the steps needed to get there. If you determine that the U.S. health system does meet the criteria of a strong health system, propose one to two solutions to improving access to and quality of health without increasing costs. Please read Everybodys Business: Strengthening Health Systems to ImproveHealth Outcomes (Foreword, Executive Summary, Introduction, and WHOs Response to HealthSystems Challenges) for background knowledge.
You are required to use at least four academic sources to support your findings and
conclusions, two of which must be sources that you have found on your own. Appropriate
materials include:
The required textbooks.
Academic articles that were assigned throughout the course
Documentaries viewed during the course
Lecture presentations
Additional resources must be derived from the librarys databases (ex., PubMed), theCommonwealth Fund, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), or the American Journal of PublicHealth. Refrain from speaking in the first person (ex., I believe, or in my opinion) and instead ground your analysis in the third person using the information you have gathered.
Formatting
You will use the seventh edition of the APA to format your paper, which will be three to four pages double-spaced (not including the title or reference pages). It must be typed using a 12-point font (Times New Roman) with 1-inch margins
