Continuum and Coordination of Health Care Presentation Assignment

As a graduate student and health care administrator, you must be able to research a critical issue or situation and present your findings in a compelling manner. For this Assignment, as well as this module’s Discussion, you will examine the continuum of care a patient may need and research the services available in your area to support the patient.

Note: During the Module 3 Discussion, you will share some of the information for this Assignment with your colleagues.

To develop the content for your presentation, record detailed notes as you complete the following steps.

• Review the information about the continuum and coordination of health services presented in the Learning Resources, including the HIMSS resource, Continuum of Care, and the tables in Chapter 1 of the course text.
• Develop a brief description of a hypothetical adult patient who has a serious health problem or injury. Imagine this patient lives in your local area. If you are an international student, you may choose a geographic area in the United States or use your own location.
• Use the pertinent information in Chapters 7, 8, 9, and/or 10 of the Shi & Singh textbook and conduct additional research of your own to analyze specific services your hypothetical patient might need, beginning with the onset or diagnosis of an illness or injury and concluding with an end-point of your choosing (i.e., recovery, symptom management, end of life). Also research the types of organizations that provide those services.
• Investigate the health care organizations in your local area. Based on the services your hypothetical patient needs, select four or five actual settings in which he/she would receive care.
• Next, gather information related to the types of insurance from which each organization accepts payment. Typically, this would include Medicare, Medicaid, and various types of insurance programs. What challenges do you anticipate your patient may have related to payment for services?Continuum and Coordination of Health Care Presentation Assignment
• Review the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (2014) resource and consider what it means for health care to be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Analyze how the scenario you have created—with your hypothetical patient receiving services from actual settings in your geographic area—illustrates positive or negative attributes related to two or more of the six Institute of Medicine aims.
• Next, prepare to create your presentation using PowerPoint. Examine the Presentation Guidelines and Tips and the Module 3 Assignment Template, both found in this module’s Learning Resources.

The Assignment

Download and save the Module 3 Assignment Template, found in this module’s Learning Resources. Use the template to create a succinct and engaging PowerPoint presentation. Include the following:

• Title slide
• Introduction slide
• 7–9 slides* in which you:
  • Introduce the patient, health problem/injury, and geographic area.
  • Describe the continuum of care, including specific services from four or five actual settings in your local area.
  • Describe a potential challenge related to payment for services this patient may encounter.
  • Explain how this example illustrates positive or negative attributes related to two or more of the six Institute of Medicine (IOM) aims.
• Sources slide*
  • List all resources (a minimum of 4) used to develop your presentation.

*Apply the design principles included in Presentation Guidelines and Tips to develop a professional presentation.Continuum and Coordination of Health Care Presentation Assignment

• On your content slides, use a combination of text, photos, graphs, maps, links to websites, color contrasts, and/or other visual elements to convey the information.
• Create presenter notes of a few sentences to accompany each slide in a way that supports (rather than duplicates) the information presented visually.

Your presentation must be written in standard edited English. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this module’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. See the rubric in the Course Information area for additional requirements related to research and scholarly writing/presentation.
