Module 5 Healthcare Program Policy Evaluation
Module 5 Healthcare Program Policy Evaluation
Question Description
Class: The semester is nearing an end and we have a few more assignments. I would recommend you get your week 10 and week 11 assignment completed this week.
Week 10-, Go to Resources under Module 5. Download the template to evaluate a program or policy. I would recommend finding a policy analysis to answer the 8 questions as a straight policy will be hard to get the data for. Kaiser Family Foundation – Health Policy Research … frequently published analysis for most major health programs. They have evaluated the ACA, CHIP, Medicare, Medicaid in each state etc. This would be an excellent place to find one. Just note the top analysis now is on Covid-19 so you might skip around those and head to Medicare.
Week 11-Look at the WHO organization link in your Resources. Go to the Global Health Agenda- There are seven. Investing in Health to Reduce Poverty is number 1, or 3 Universal Coverage, Gender equality, Health Related Human Rights. Alternatively, Tackling Health Determinants of Health. Number 4. Here you could address Diet, nutrition; environmental issues like measles, roundworm, TB, West Nile and Zika. You pick a country and then compare it to the US. The Sustainable goals, which are published by the United Nations (WHO part of), will be quite helpful.
If you chose obesity look at Japan and how they regulate weight where in the US the Obesity epidemic is skyrocketing.
I will look forward to reading your assignments.
