Social Media in Education and Healthcare case study 

Grace Speak is a fourth-year student at Best University. She and her fellow classmates are

working hard in their final courses and preparing for exams. Inspired by the teamwork that the

healthcare profession espouses, Grace gets an idea for a study group. She thinks it will really help

share case experiences, course notes, and study tips. Unfortunately, several members of her peer

group live out of town, which makes it difficult for them to participate fully. Grace is torn, as she

does not want to exclude them from the study group. When she voices her concerns to a classmate,

her friend suggests using social media tools as the primary medium for sharing information.

Discussion Questions

1. 200 words–What types of social media tools could Grace’s study group use?

2. 200 words–How would those tools facilitate the objectives of the study group?

3. 200 words–What are some of the risks associated with using social media for such purposes?

4. 200 words–What might Grace need to do from the outset when she forms the study group?

Use the attached textbook and 4 other resource to respond to the case study in APA 7th essay format. 

 Course reflection assignment is part of the portfolio that students must complete during last class of the program. This assignment is due on week #15. Course reflection assignment has a value of 100 points. It accounts for 20% of the final grade. 

 Submit Section III of the case study, in which you will address the chosen organization’s financial incentives and quality improvement processes.

 Specifically, you will critique the organization’s population-health oriented policies, the organization’s approach to care and the extent to which it is patient-centered, and any strategies the organization uses in its population-health approach. 

Reference these resources to complete your milestone assignments:

 Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: 

III. Financial incentives and quality improvement processes 

a) Analyze population health-oriented policies (such as non-discrimination in hiring, care and treatment, Patient Bill of Rights, financial assistance, etc.) that the organization may have implemented for reducing costs and improving overall quality. Be sure to provide evidence to support your claims.

 b) To what extent is the organization’s approach to care considered patient-centered? Be sure to cite specific examples to substantiate your claims. 

c) What specific strategies(such as eliminating unnecessary procedures and providing only essential treatments or interventions) does the organization employ in its population health approach to reduce costs and improve overall quality?

 d) Describe gaps or deficiencies that may exist in the organization’s use of the population health approach in reducing costs and improving quality of care, and provide evidence to support your claims. If you feel there are none, be sure to explain your reasoning.

This is another student post to which i have to react adding some extra information related this post. 

short answers.

   Health care in the US has been a significant contention source, especially after the passing of the Affordable Care Act. The new health legislation was a significant move for the US towards providing universal, affordable care to its citizens. However, some associated issues have plagued the healthcare system, causing the need for healthcare reforms. According to Doyle et al. (2017), people agree that the healthcare system wastes the country’s GDP as much as 5%. The main reason why there is a need for healthcare reforms is that healthcare costs have skyrocketed. For instance, an average family consisting of four family members increased their average costs by little over 7%. US healthcare is in dire need of improvement. The US is among the most developed countries in healthcare, but its healthcare spending is at an all-time high, with poor patient outcomes. The third reason for healthcare reforms is to curb the economic ramifications of healthcare fraud. The US loses between just over 50 billion to nearly 200 billion every year to fraud. The government could direct the money to offset the cost of Medicare.

2-     The Benefits

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2016), there are ten crucial benefits. They include ambulatory patient services, hospitalization, mental health, substance abuse disorders, habilitative and rehabilitative devices and services, preventive and wellness services, and chronic disease management. The other five are emergency services, maternity, and newborn care, prescription drugs, laboratory services, and finally, pediatric services, which also include vision and oral care.

3- The Successes of ACA

For instance, ACA has allowed young people to remain under the coverageof their parents’ medical plans until they reach 26. In the past, insurancecompanies disallowed coverage once the children attained the age of 19. Byallowing cover for children, it increased the rates of young people withinsurance coverage. ACA also insured the preexisting conditions of thepopulations. In the past, insurance companies denied coverage to people withpreexisting conditions. These conditions also include injuries and medical illnessesthat people have before the commencement of their health plans. It alsoprovided cheap and affordable insurance premiums, providing insurance to alarge number of American citizens. The law also required employers who had morethan 50 employees to cater to their workforce’s health insurance, ensuring thatemployees had access to medical cover. Failure to comply with this resulted inemployers paying a fine.

4-The Failures of ACA

Unfortunately, the law has also had some failures in the course of its existence. For instance, the healthcare costs have continued to rise despite claims made by proponents. Another failure is that since its inception, the law had massive public opposition. Polls taken after its enactment showed this, and proponents claimed that it would rise in popularity over time. That has not been the case, with many people wanting the law repealed. The law was especially unkind to businesses with large numbers of employees as they had to cater to the health insurance requirements of their employees. Businesses had to drop many of their employees to a part-time status not to face the wrong side of the law. Another failure is that the government runs the program. Many conservatists believe that market-based solutions to healthcare are better than the government. Their thoughts are that providers are likely to offer better services when consumers make choices at a much lower cost.
