Details:
In this assignment you will be comparing
outpatient services to those offered by hospitals.
As medical professionals we need to understand
the roles of each and how they differ.
Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses
the following:
Compare the roles of outpatient services and
hospitals related to their place within the health
care delivery system. How are they similar? How
are they different?

2. How have the roles of outpatient services and
hospitals evolved from historical times to the
present?
Identify three functions shared by both outpatient
services and hospitals. How do outpatient services
and hospitals differ in their approach to these
functions? How are they similar?
Which type of health provider (outpatient services
or hospitals) has been most effective in caring for
underserved populations? Explain your reasoning.
Are the financial challenges faced by hospitals
different from those of outpatient services? How
are they similar?
Your presentation must have 10-12 slides and cite
a minimum of two references other than your
textbook.
