Quality Care Healthcare Sharing Highlights

Module 8 based on the paper you wrote

An active discussion is the key to an interesting and engaging online course. As others join in the discussion, read what has already been posted and add substantively to the conversation. Time goes quickly, so check the discussions as often as you can to see what others have posted and to respond. Please think about each of the following questions and respond not only to the question but also to what others are saying.

The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately.

1. Please share a bit about your final paper. What special population did you select? What does your ideal system look like? What are three important takeaways or lessons that you learned through doing your paper?

For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate your assigned module readings and video. Please respond to the following questions one at a time and discuss these issues with classmates and your instructor:

2. After reading classmates’ posts, discuss the commonalities that are presented in your ideal systems. What struck you as unique or particularly effective strategies, and why you think these strategies are noteworthy? Discuss how the strategies identified compare to some of the ideas we have been studying over the past seven weeks.

3. Several of the readings addressed inequities and disparities in health services for diverse populations. What inequities or disparities did you discover in your final papers? Do you think we are doing enough in this country to address these? If not, what else should we be doing?
