The development of healthcare services varies from one location to another. Prepare a bulleted outline that assesses the key healthcare services available in your community. In your work, be sure to address the following:
- Briefly characterize your community (include demographic information such as population, geography, mean income, race, and ethnic diversity).
- Contact your local public health department or major medical facility and inquire about the extent and variety of local services.
- Identify and evaluate the main healthcare facility or facilities. Include public, private, and non-governmental organizations in your assessment.
- Examine the characteristics of hospitals, ambulatory care, and long-term care facilities.
- Compare statistics regarding these provider types to other communities in your area.
Support your outline with a minimum of five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your outline should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate.
