BHA 4002 Capella University Wk 5 Historical Health Care Trend Analysis

BHA4002 Week 5 Assignment 1: Historical Health Care Trend Analysis
Introduction
The private and public health systems work in tandem to reduce the burden of disease. The
line between public and private health has gotten very thin, as we have seen with the many
private–public health partnerships. Programs such as Vaccines for Children (VFC)
and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA), health care quality initiatives, and Healthy People (1990–2030)
have evolved from collaboration. All of these private–public health programs and
initiatives, in addition to the significant advancements in medical education, research, and
technologies, have led to one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States
and world today.
In this assignment, you will review the private and public health legislation, regulatory
agencies, and quality initiatives that have catapulted the United States into the quality
revolution that we are experiencing today. As this quality revolution continues, health care
professionals can expect to see more innovations contributing to individual and population
health, as well as more regulations.
Scenario
You are a health care educator for a large, integrated accountable care organization (ACO).
You are tasked to work with a group of hospital executives to identify milestone events for
three eras, the 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s, and identify trends from those events that
impacted the health care industry. The trend analysis will consist of three critical
measures: access, quality, and costs. Milestone events and trends identified for these three
measures over time should include legislation, regulatory agencies, and quality initiatives
in the various time periods. The final paper will be used in an annual strategic planning
session attended by the ACO and hospital executives to demonstrate how the quality
movement has evolved into a quality revolution.
