Instructions
Part 1: For this assignment you will select someone to interview about their career in healthcare that works either on the administrative side (e.g. office manager, practice administrator, billing and coder, medical office coordinator) or the clinical side (e.g. nurse, counselor, doctor, dentist, pharmacist, social worker, home health aide) of healthcare. Interviews may be conducted face to face, by phone, or virtually.
Part 2: Give a brief summary of the interviewees background, education, job title, the nature of the individual’s facility, and the type of patients with whom they work with. Your interview should include questions about their general perceptions of both the U.S. healthcare system and their facility. Ask the healthcare worker, for example, what concerns they have with our current system in general, and with the facility in particular. Document several suggestions that the worker offers to make the U.S. healthcare system better, and specifically, how they would effectuate these changes.
Part 3: Lastly, add your own analysis of the system as it relates to your interview. Do you agree or disagree with the issues raised by the healthcare worker? Would the solutions the healthcare worker proposes be feasible or effective in our current marketplace? Identify two healthcare issues that you believe are important for most Americans and then explain how you propose we address those issues.
Cite your text and two (2) other authoritative sources. This paper should be a minimum of 700 words.
Write your paper according to APA latest Edition, and include headings/sub-headings. Your completed assignment will include a title page and a reference page in APA formatting and in-text citations of your references.
