Assignment: Outpatient vs. Hospital HLT 205
Details:
You will be comparing outpatient services to those provided by hospitals in this assignment. As medical professionals, we must understand each role and how they differ.
Make a PowerPoint presentation that covers the following topics:
Compare the roles of outpatient services and hospitals in the context of the health-care delivery system. What similarities do they share? What distinguishes them?
How have the roles of outpatient services and hospitals changed throughout history?
Determine three functions that both outpatient services and hospitals perform. How do outpatient services and hospitals approach these functions differently? What similarities do they share?
Which type of health provider has been most effective in caring for underserved popu
lations (outpatient services or hospitals)?
Explain your thinking.
Are the financial challenges that hospitals face different from those that outpatient services face? What similarities do they share?
Your presentation must include 10-12 slides and at least two references other than your textbook.

You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
