- Conduct an extensive literature review (between 2010-present) to identify
and compare an optimal healthcare system from another Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country with the US. - Compare and contrast the
theories and concepts relating to social welfare and
allocation/reallocation of services of this selected country with the
US.
Create Your Topic: Formulate a
Current literature review (2010 to present) and your explanation of your
findings on optimal healthcare models in the world having to do with
social welfare and allocation/reallocation of services. You may use one of the articles from your literature review to compare and review to the US System for this assignment.
How to start Your Process: Students will identify
and critically evaluate economic literature related to healthcare and
healthcare economics to provide a thoughtfully written individual
investigation related to social welfare and allocation/reallocation of
services. An extensive reveiw would be approximately 8-10 references from academic peer reviewed journals, books and research sources.
Your desired Outcome: A
well researched literature review formulated into a paper (3 – 5 pages)
identifying and explaining an optimal social welfare program and
allocation/reallocation of services from your comparison OECD country
with the US.
Evaluation: Students will be evaluated based on the analysis and synthesis of their research for the assignment. The Rubric for grading this assignment is above.
