Reflection
To meet this standard, we analyzed healthcare delivery systems and evaluated the factors that influence them by taking notes and filling out charts witht the definition of all the types of healthcare delivery systems and learned about how aging population, high costs, and diverse culture all influence them. I discussed consumer respobsibilities by making a flyer talking to people our age to help them become more responsible consumers. We had a class discussion and took notes on how technology, epidemiology, bioethics, and socioeconomics influence healthcare delivery systems. Lastly, we learned about all the common methods of healthcare payments such as monthly premiums, deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurances. This standard has real world application because if we are ever injured or hurt and need service, we can identify where we need to go and all of the things that influence the facilities wer are staying in. Also, I am a consumer, so knowing what my responsibilities are can help myself and others to maintain health and safety. By learning about how emerging issues have an impact on healthcare, we can better understand what to expect when being treated. It's important to know about the types of healthcare payments so I can prepare myself for the future.
