In your Signature Assignment for this class, you will apply your learning by building a relationship with a healthcare organization of your choice.

You will choose an organization, meet someone who works there, and assist her or him with a public health-related project that is relevant to your learning in PH 560.

For this week's discussion, list three

(3) different organizations you would like to do your project on. Why did you choose them?
Review the organizations’ websites and try to make contact with someone at the organization.

Which factors contribute to this statistic? Are there differences between healthcare “needs” and “wants” in this population? How could you close this gap?

Prompt 1: It is often stated that excess mortality is higher in low socioeconomic populations.

Visit the Kaiser Family Foundation and read about the reasons behind these disparities (http://kff.org/disparities-policy/issue-brief/disparities-in-health-and-health-care-five-key-questions-and-answers/ (Links to an external site.)).

Discuss the major points of the law. Then, analyze the facts of the hypothetical situation against that law to explain how the employee broke the law.

This week, you learned that health care is an extremely regulated industry mostly because of the especially vulnerable nature of its customers: the patients.

Legislators have created numerous laws to control everything from the process of insurance to how a patient must be treated and what they must be told by medical personnel.

Individuals who break these laws can be subject to civil or criminal liability, so it is extremely important that every healthcare worker knows and understands the laws related to his or her job.

For this discussion prompt, you will use the St. Martha’s General Hospital Scenario.

After reviewing that scenario and reviewing the laws that you learned this week,  discuss a healthcare law that may have been broken by an employee of St. Martha’s General Hospital. Identify any scenario where the law has been broken.

Discuss the major points of the law. Then, analyze the facts of the hypothetical situation against that law to explain how the employee broke the law.

Support your ideas with evidence from your readings.
