>> I’m sorry, Barbara, but I have to talk to you right now.

>> You know, I’m not the greatest judge of human nature but now, correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me like you’re upset about something.

>> Yes. I’m a little ticked off. All right. I’m really ticked off. I just got done talking with our wonderful coding supervisor. And I —

>> What’s the problem?

>> The October 1st code updates haven’t been installed yet. And today’s October 1st and it’s 4:30 p.m. so guess what? It looks like it’s not going to happen today. Tomorrow morning I have to code the October 1st discharges.

>> And when you explained this to Vanessa, calmly, I hope, she said what?

>> She said that there are only a few changes this year and that most of them won’t affect us anyways because we don’t do transplants and burns. “Don’t worry about it,” she says. She says, “No problem.” Yeah. No problem for her.

>> Well, OK. Now, I understand the problem. I agree with you completely. And if Vanessa actually said no problem then she’s wrong. It actually will be her problem. It’ll be a problem for a lot of people.

Elderly Public Health Policies in the US

/in /by

Must watch a video (first 30 min). Video can be found on YouTube “And thou Shalt Honor”

Many laws, policies, and initiatives in public health are developed to try to create more equity in access to healthcare or to decrease the disparities that some people experience. It is difficult to determine when one population has received sufficient attention and another population should replace them at the forefront of advocacy and/or attention. Did you know that today we have more parents to care for than children? Eldercare has replaced childcare as a leading healthcare issue.

For this assignment, do the following:

  1. Watch the first 30-minutes of the video And Thou Shalt Honor.
  2. Develop a policy related to the public health of the elderly in the United States.
  3. Compare the strategies used in the United States to address our increasing elderly population with that of another Country of your choosing. Critique some of the public health policies that have been developed in that country and how are they are working.

You assignment should be a 2-3 page assessment (not including the cover or reference page) that utilizes proper APA format and includes at least 3 scholarly resources.
