This week's reading included examinations of two state initiatives. (See .pdf attached) to improve their health delivery systems. Both were well-intentioned. Both experienced unanticipated developments.
Task:
- Outline features of an ideal health care policy. Keep in mind that, despite your wisdom and noble intentions, resources are limited.
- What are several of the policy items you want to focus on immediately?
- Would you mandate a national EHR system? If so, how would it be funded? What policy items might you develop to improve population health?
