Introduction
Health Care Systems in Developed Nations:
A Comparative Analysis
Expectation from the
writer: The topic of the paper should introduce and supporting statements that
address background and relevance. The introduction is a single paragraph ending
with a direct thesis statement that informs the reader of the purpose or the
primary objective of this paper.
The Affordable Care Act
Briefly compare current U.S. healthcare outcomes to
the years prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act. What has improved,
stayed the same, or worsened? Access, quality, and cost can provide you with a
framework for this section
Expectation from the
writer: The writer should use the framework of access, cost, and quality to
discuss U.S. health outcomes before and after the ACA. The section is well
developed and includes what has improved, what has stayed the same, and what
still needs attention. Support for conclusions are provided throughout.
Population Health.
Compare and contrast the following measures of
population health in the U.S. to comparable developed nations: (a) chronic
disease outcomes (b) hospital-related care or patient safety outcomes (c) life
expectancy (d) mortality rate You may choose a single country or multiple
countries to complete this. In addition to providing overall figures, summarize
current statistics on how COVID-19 has impacted the overall life expectancy for
U.S. citizens based on their race.
Expectation from the writer: Each of the required factors is included. Statements of
comparison and contrast are clearly included. Updated data illustrating the
relationship between life expectancy and race post-pandemic are provided.
Current figures are included
Economics
Compare
and contrast the economics of healthcare in the U.S to comparable developed
nations. Include a comparison of the following: (a) gross domestic product as
it relates to healthcare spending (b) healthcare expenditure per capita (c)
spending priorities (d) cost sharing
Expectation from the writer
: Each of the required factors is included.
Statements of comparison and contrast are clearly included and explanations are
clear and thorough. Current figures are included
Current Issues and Sustainability.
Choose and discuss ONE (1) of the following
related to current issues in and the sustainability of our current system:
A. Explain the relationship between the participation
of healthy persons in the insurance system and insurance costs. How has removal
of the tax penalty for the individual mandate affected (a) premium rates and

sustainability?
C. Explain the relationship between immigration
status, healthcare utilization, and health outcomes among this group of people.
Discuss the implications of providing basic healthcare services to non-legal
immigrants.
D. Discuss where the U.S. healthcare system has
excelled and what outcomes have benefitted. Explain the relationship between
healthcare innovation or technology and the cost of healthcare.
E. Discuss the benefits and challenges of both
centralization and decentralization of healthcare. What potential effects does
each have on healthcare resources allocation and equity?
F. Explain the
relationship between climate change and maternal and newborn health outcomes.
Discuss the implications of leaving this problem unaddressed.
Expectation from writer: The section is fully developed, answering one
of the posed questions in the instructions for the chosen letter. Work is well
supported with relevant data as applicable and peer-reviewed references. The writer
should demonstrate graduate-level depth and analysis of the topic
Health Disparities.
Summarize
current data on health disparities and inequities in our system. Identify some
of the causes of health disparities, and explain how they lead to poorer
outcomes. How does racism in nursing ultimately impact the profession’s ability
to reduce health disparities? Consider the value of diversity in nursing in your
answer.
Expectation from the writer:
The writer should describe current health
disparities and identifies reasons for their existence. Explanations for how
those causative factors lead to disparities are included. Relevance of racism
in nursing and nursing workforce diversification is included.
