Drivers of High Performance Healthcare Systems
Select two drivers (for example quality, cost, and access) of high
performance healthcare systems and apply it to your current work
situation. The application could demonstrate the presence of the driver in
a positive manner or it could acknowledge the presence of a concern.
Levels of Government Involved in Healthcare Policy Making
Review the assigned article for this Week, Buerhaus, P. I. (2010).
Healthcare payment reform: Implications for nurses. Nursing
Economics, 28(1), 49–54.
An emerging political issue is to change the way healthcare providers
are compensated to control healthcare spending. Nurses are the largest
group of healthcare providers and can make the greatest impact on the
healthcare system. Compare and contrast two advantages versus the
disadvantages of the policy to disentangle nursing costs from the patient

room charges and/or organization charges. How can this policy affect
your policy priority? Is there evidence?
