Module 05 Course Project Healthcare Reform and Long-Term Care Module 05 Course Project Healthcare Reform and Long-Term Care

Instructions

There has been a marriage of state and federal government, through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) around the issue of long-term care for the disabled and elderly. States have worked to expand Medicaid home and community-based services. This has been a growing area, as patients and families seem to prefer this over facility-based long-term care.

  1. Explain the purpose of ACAs reform or provision regarding long-term care.
  2. Explain any special interest viewpoints or opposing views on the reform or provision.
  3. Discuss your position on long-term care and whether there should be more community-based or home services.
  4. Discuss any challenges facing long-term care facilities
  5. Use audience-specific language
  6. Use 3 credible sources with at least 2 from the Rasmussen College Library. https://guides.rasmussen.edu/az.php
