As a health science student, it is important to be aware of important
issues in your field of interest. This unit's Assignment will help make you
more aware of the U.S. health care system. You will do a lot of research and
then create a short PowerPoint presentation designed to show which part of the
healthcare system should receive more funding. To complete this activity,
please visit the “Webliography” section of our course. Select one “FocusArea”
that you are interested in from the six choices listed along the right side of
the page. The six choices are: ? Veteran'sAdministration ? Mental
Health/Substance Abuse Treatment & Prevention ? Women's Health/Family
Planning ? HealthPromotion/Disease Prevention ? Long-term Care ? Public Health
Using the Web links provided on the page, begin your research. If you find you
need further information, you are encouraged to continue your investigation
using the KU Library, online sources, or textbooks and periodicals at your
disposal. For the “Focus Area” you have chosen, please consider the following
questions as you are doing your research: 2 Kaplan University School of Health
Sciences HS100 Introduction to Health Science COURSE # 1. Why is this focus area
important to our overall healthcare system? 2. What population is directly
served and how do they benefit from services and programs in this area? 3. What
are some of the most notable programs available to patients or clients in your
area of focus? 4. What areas could use improvement? 5. How would significant
funding improve the care being provided? When you have finished your research
from the questions in your “Focus Area”, prepare a short PowerPoint
presentation (minimum 10 slides not including cover slide and reference slide)
that is designed to show why your selected “Focus Area” of the healthcare
system should receive funding. Imagine a realistic scenario that there are
limited monies available, and “sell” why your “Focus Area” should receive it, based
upon the several questions you answered about it
