[WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]

Due by Day 6

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review your textbook readings covered thus far and the Occupational Outlook Handbook: Healthcare Occupations(Links to an external site.).

This assignment is the first part of a comprehensive presentation you will develop on the U. S. health care system. For this assignment, you will provide an overview of the U.S. health care system. Follow the instructions below to complete the assignment.

Introduction:

Begin your presentation by including a title slide (see specifics below). In the speaker’s notes of this slide, include your introductory information, which will include your degree plan and any health care experience you have had or share your qualifications related to the information you are presenting. If you have no health care experience, you can be creative with professional experience.

Next, create an overview slide that describes the required components to be covered within the presentation. Add bulleted points for each of the topics being covered. Briefly describe each bulleted point in the speaker’s notes.

Content:

The remaining slides will address the content of the presentation and the references. The content will address the following required components:

Choose one revolutionary factor from each of the centuries (17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st) found in your textbook and time line.

Describe each revolutionary factor.

Discuss how the revolutionary factors changed the health care system.

Refer to the time line simulation Global Perspectives: Shifts in Science and Medicine That Changed Healthcare(Links to an external site.) reviewed in Week 1. Chapter 2 in your textbook discusses the evolution of our health care system and is a good resource for this part of the presentation as well.

Identify at least one major development from each of the following perspectives: financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social (e.g., consumer demand).

Discuss how each development transformed the system into what it is For more perspective, you may want to review the time line simulation Global Perspectives: Shifts in Science and Medicine That Changed Healthcare(Links to an external site.).

Choose three different stakeholders that have affected the health care system (e.g., health care professionals [physicians, nurses, etc.], clients [patients], health insurance plans [Blue Cross Blue Shield, managed care organizations (MCOs), etc.], federal or state governments, health care professional organizations [American Medical Association (AMA), American Nurses Association (ANA), etc.] and health care accreditation agencies [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The Joint Commission, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), etc.]).

Evaluate each stakeholder’s effect on the health care system by discussing their purpose and impact.

Include examples of both positive and negative impacts made by your chosen stakeholders (e.g., a negative contribution is when a patient uses the emergency room for nonurgent care).

Choose one revolutionary factor from each of the centuries (17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st) found in your textbook and timeline.
American Medical Association (AMA) 
Army medical corps 
Several events combined to make the 1800s a period of increased control of American healthcare. In addition to the war, the growth of cities led public health officials to improve sanitation methods as a way to prevent the spread of communicable disease, and the founding of the American Medical Association (AMA) attempted to define educational standards for physicians. In Spite of the devastation, the war’s influence on American medicine and its system of health-care proved both lasting and beneficial. The Army medical corps increased in size, improved its techniques, and gained a greater understanding of medicine and disease, which led to a new era in modern medicine. The concept of health insurance predates the Civil War. As early as 1847, Massachusetts Health Insurance of Boston offered group policies that provided accident insurance for injury related to travel by railroad and steamboat, as well as other benefits. In 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson announced his program to create Medicare and to launch his war on poverty with Medicaid. Important changes were in the process of developing healthcare by the 1980s, a period considered as the time of privatization. The policies were redirected by the governments to privatize institutions funded by the public and there was the integration of hospital systems to big healthcare networks that involved ancillary businesses related to healthcare.

Among all, the sign of medical industry begins with the foundation of the Marine Hospital. Also, one program of prepaid health insurance that was funded by the public was founded in the in history of U.S. On 16th July 1789, the fund of Marine Hospital was signed by President John Adams into law.

Revolutionary factor in 18th century
Impact on the Civil war on American medicine (1861-1865)
A struggle has been made by AMA in order to reform the medicinal practice, the United States got engaged in most devastating and costliest war in the history that is Civil War. The idea of dealing with the huge number of military medical and logistics issues was not known by the army doctors who are very less in number. For example, the prevalent diseases were overcrowding of camps and the non-sanitary situation in the fields. Additionally, surgeons used non-sterilized equipment due to unawareness about the relationship between infection and cleanliness. Surgery followed infection and it became a common problem.
