Professional Development Assignments:
Compare and contrast each of the three questions related to
Managed Care Organizations, Medicare, and Medicaid with one another and explain
how they were similar and different to each other.
Managed care organizations emphasize physicians’
responsibilities to control patient access to expensive hospitalization and
specialty care, a principle dubbed “gatekeeping.” Some argue that
“gatekeeping” is unethical because it introduces financial factors
into treatment decisions. Others say it improves quality by promoting the use
of the most appropriate levels of care.
Medicare is an area that often gets overlooked and is seen
as a burden financially. Discuss alternatives to ease the drain on Medicare
resources.
Medicaid is shouldering an ever-increasing burden of cost
for long-term care for the elderly, with enormous impacts on state budgets
throughout the nation. Discuss alternatives to ease this drain on Medicaid resources.

Assignment:
Professional Development Assignments:
Public health efforts and those of private medicine
complement each other and together serve the spectrum of health service needs
of American society. Why, then, has their relationship been so contentious?
The Institute of Medicine report of 1999 cites two major
studies that establish medical errors as one of the leading causes of death and
disability in the United States. Should the federal government take the
necessary steps to monitor the status of this high-risk situation, as it does
with other epidemics, or should the government continue to trust the providers
of health care to deal forthrightly with the problem?
Analyze why legislative attempts to address only one of the
trio of rising costs, lack of universal access, or variable quality of health
care only worsens the remaining two.
