  It is suggested that you review a few of the recommended articles below to glean any helpful information. Supply and demand analysis aids health care leaders in ascertaining the effects of changes in policy on service lines that impact a communitys health (e.g., whether to expand existing services or perhaps close services). Identify and evaluate publicly available tools that provide data and assist in formulating the basic shapes of demand and supply curves. Communicate and elaborate on the relevance of these economic indicators in terms of pricing.  Evaluate and comment on the social-cultural implications of value-based care.

    • The article discusses how hospitals can use disruptive innovation to improve health care quality, safety and outcomes by reducing the costs of healthcare delivery. The author says health care delivery in the United States is at least 20 years behind the development of other industries in the country.
  2. Ellis, R. P., & McGuire, T. G. (1993). Supply-side and demand-side cost sharing in health care. Journal of Economic Perspectives, 7(4), 135-151. Retrieved from the EBSCOhost database.
    • This article focuses on the supply side and demand side of cost sharing in health care.  Ellis & McQuire (1993, p.137) states that economists and others concerned with health care policy have debated the meaning of “demand” in health care. After all, as Arrow (1963) emphasized early on, the relationship between patients and their physicians (and other health care providers) involves agency, information, trust, and professionalism. A key unresolved issue in health policy is the magnitude of this provider-induced demand, and how it is determined.
  3. Heroman, W. M., Davis, C. B., & Farmer, J. L. (2012). Demand forecasting and capacity management in primary care. Physician Executive, 38(1), 30-34. Retrieved from the EBSCOhost database.
    • The article examines how a practical approach to demand forecasting and capacity management helps primary care clinics run smoothly and efficiently. The authors state that a demand forecast determines the gap relative to the capacity of the practice to provide health care which can affect all the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) principles.

    • The structure of health organizations that provide services should reflect the possibilities of and constraints on production that arise from the market segments they serve. Organizational segmentation in health care is based on urgency and severity as well as disease type, bodily function, principal method, or population subgroup. The result is conflicting priorities, goals, and performance metrics. A managerial perspective is needed to identify activities with similar requirements for integration, coordination, and control (Lillrank, Groop, & Malrnstrom, 2010).

    • Yu & Hong (2007) suggest that many studies have found strong and positive relationship between per capita income and health care expenditure. These studies usually adopt the assumptions that (1) the relationships among the variables are constant; and/or (2) the supply-side market for health care could be treated by using standard demand functions models. To take into account of the supply side of health care, we use the demand and supply approach with the co-integration model to re-examine this issue.

 Prior to engaging in this discussion, please read Chapters 6 and 9 in the text and review any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is suggested that you review the recommended articles to glean any helpful information. Articles are at the bottom. In this discussion, you will be taking on the role of an associate director of a hospital who is considering the proposed opening of an urgent care clinic about 20 miles from your main campus. You have been charged with gathering demographic information that might affect the demand for the new clinic and creating a presentation that will be delivered to the hospital CEO. Consider what data might be relevant and why. What would you want to show the CEO to prove that this project would be feasible for the organization? As with the Finance, Risk, and Cost discussion in Week Two, you will be creating a five-minute presentation using PowerPoint and Jing, Screencast-o-matic, or an alternative program with audio to present your findings on the feasibility of this project to your CEO.

Todays health care landscape is placing new importance on the economics of health care. Reflecting on the exercises you have completed thus far and incorporating information from the text, analyze how demand theory applies to public policy and the economics of health services. What elements, responsive to the specific health care service demands of your given population, would you want to present as you develop a microeconomic model based on this proposed opening of an urgent care clinic?

Your PowerPoint presentation slides must include the following information:

  • Your basic microeconomic model of the projected service/project
  • An analysis of the role that public policy plays in terms of your provision of health care services
  • A justification of your model
  • The relevance of the current financial data in terms of the projected outcome of the project
  • A compare and contrast discussion of the economic challenges and incentives related to your project

 Once you have created your PowerPoint presentation, use Jing, Screencast-o-matic, or an alternative program with audio to create a screencast of your presentation with voiceover. Include a title for your presentation in the description box when you publish your screencast. The hospital CEO has limited your presentation time to three to five minutes, so you will need to incorporate as many characteristics of an effective speaker as you can within this timeframe.

 A detailed feasibility study is an essential element in the process of diligently assessing any new health services business venture. According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care industry is currently one of the fastest growing fields in the United States, and it is projected that the field will grow by 22 percent by 2018. This is compared to an 11 percent average growth rate for all other industries (United States Department of Labor, 2012). Whether you are considering new medical service lines, an expansion of your current operation or any other type of health care business venture, a feasibility study is an essential planning tool for any future health care leader.

 Instructions: You will complete the Budget Worksheet to show expenses for your grant proposal program. Information from this worksheet will be included in your Grant Proposal Presentation due in Unit 8. We know the grant will provide $20,000, which will allow your agency to purchase Naloxone (Narcan) nasal spray devices for each of its 100 members. The course project requires you to provide a basic budget for the program to detail how the $20,000 will be spent and explain any potential impacts on your agencys budget. Remember, the $20,000is only to be used for purchasing the nasal spray devices. All other expenses will be incurred by the agency. You will need to create at least four expense items for this worksheet. Expenses should be based on reason and research. Although you are encouraged to come up with your own expense items, here are some potential expense issues to consider when composing your budget: How much will the Naloxone nasal spray devices cost? How much will training cost? Is a public information campaign needed to announce the use of the new devices? How will the devices be disposed of once used? Note The devices are considered bio-hazard/medical waste once used. Are there any supplies that need to be purchased for the program? What are the administrative costs? Are there any in-kind (donated) services (i.e., using medical waste bins at the local hospital)? Guidelines: Use the Unit 7 Assignment: Budget Worksheet and Instructions document in Unit 7 to complete this assignment.
