Represent and describe a health system or policy or practice
Assessment type;
- describe and critique the components of various healthcare systems/policies/practices and population health outcomes
- systematically analyse the range of social, cultural, environmental, economic, and political factors which impact healthcare systems
Describe a healthcare system or policy or practice that you usually work in or you are aware of/familiar with. This system, policy or practice can be broad (e.g., at a state, national, international level) or more specific (e.g., at a local, community or organisational level)
a) Design a concept map or causal loop to represent the key elements of the chosen health system/policy/practice. In your figure, your basic key elements should include drivers/inputs, stakeholders, as well as outcomes. It is important that you clearly link/connect these factors to represent how they influence one another.
b) Explain your figure by briefly discussing the key interconnected elements and outcomes of the system, policy, or practice. In this discussion, you can talk about strengths and weaknesses of the system, as well as any positive or negative outcomes.
