Integration of Health Systems Note: Before completing this Assignment, please familiarize yourself with the Week 4 Assignment Rubric, located in the Course Information area of the course navigation menu. Intermountain Healthcare is a high-performing integrated health system with facilities in Utah and Idaho. The health system has a long-standing clinical integration structure that encourages professional collaboration. Despite this, in 1999, many physicians at Intermountain Healthcare found it difficult to fulfill the needs of patients with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. To efficiently and effectively address this issue, Intermountain Healthcare adopted a mental health integration model in many of its primary care facilities, as well as some of its specialty clinics and partner clinics. The team-based approach has improved the coordination of services, resulting in higher quality care at a savings of cost . Consider the example above. What advantages does integration afford Intermountain Healthcare? Do other integrated health systems experience similar benefits? Are there disadvantages to integration? If so, what are they? To prepare for this Assignment, review the information related to vertical and horizontal integration presented in the Learning Resources. Select one of the following horizontally integrated health systems: National Surgical Hospitals Select Medical Healthcare Sunrise Senior Living Labcorp Quest Diagnostics Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Also select one of the following vertically integrated health systems: Kaiser Permanente Mayo Clinic Cleveland Clinic MedStar Health Memorial Hermann Healthcare System Houston As an alternative, you may use Becker’s Hospital Review resource to identify a vertically integrated health system. Using the Walden Library and credible sources on the Internet, research your selected health systems. Investigate the rationale for pursuing integration and the strategies each health system has used to achieve integration. Note information related to the size of each health system, settings/locations, and types of services it provides. Based on your research, consider the ways in which the two health systems are similar to and/or different from one another. Assess the business and health care-related implications of horizontal and vertical integration of your selected health systems. How does integration impact the management of your selected organizations and the patients/consumers they serve, especially in terms of cost, quality, and access? Consider any applicable insights you have gained through the Discussion for this week. The Assignment Write a paper in which you: Compare the horizontally integrated health system and the vertically integrated health system you have selected (e.g., size, settings/locations, and types of services). Explain each health system’s rationale for pursuing integration and the strategies it has used to achieve integration. Assess the business and.

A 58-year-old man needs to have his blood tested on a regular basis so his physician can monitor the effects of the anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication he is currently taking. He usually has his blood drawn at his local lab in San Francisco, California. While traveling on business in Portland, Oregon, he is able to have his blood drawn on the specified day at another Labcorp location. Labcorp operates an extensive network of 1,700 laboratories across the United States, so lab results can be communicated to the patient’s physician from any location.
Geisinger Health System serves an area with 2.6 million people in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. As an integrated health system, it provides coordinated care to meet the wide-ranging needs of patients. The advanced use of information technology has been critical for facilitating communication, reducing duplication of services, and improving the patient experience along the care continuum. Consisting of numerous clinical facilities and a health insurance company, Geisinger Health System offers an innovative approach to care delivery that it hopes will become a national model.
Integration is an organizing principle for care delivery intended to promote better health outcomes and greater clinical and financial accountability. Labcorp’s horizontal integration is a growth strategy that reduces competition from other companies. Geisinger’s vertical integration is a diversification strategy that links a continuum of services to increase the comprehensiveness of care.
In Module 3, you examined the varied services a patient may need and researched health care organizations that provide those services in your geographic area. In this Discussion, you will examine how integration affects the delivery of care in your community.
To prepare for this Discussion, review the information related to horizontal and vertical integration in the Learning Resources, including the information in the Shi and Singh (2015) textbook and the journal articles.

Unintended Consequences of Health Care ReformThe PPACA of .docx
Unintended Consequences of Health Care Reform
The PPACA of 2010 fostered new provisions for health care and the structure of health care delivery. The individual mandate to obtain insurance is one provocative provision. While this provision attempts to increase access to health care, it raises questions on how the existing system could sustain the potentially large influx of newly insured individuals.
Another provision calls for new models of health care provider organizations to ensure delivery efficiency and continuity of care. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Kathleen White discusses the accountable care organization, which comprises a group of providers coordinating care across a variety of institutional settings. Yet becoming an accountable care organization may present a number of challenges.
This week’s Discussion builds on Week 1, continuing the examination of those societal and organizational contexts that influence health care reform. The unintended consequences of reform policy on the health care system are also considered.
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources focusing on how reform may lead to improved quality, greater access, and reduced cost of care. Also think about the unintended consequences that may arise as a result.
Consider the information presented about the individual mandate and accountable care organizations. What are some questions or concerns you might have regarding the individual mandate? What are the pros and cons associated with becoming an accountable care organization?
With posting instructions in mind, select either the individual mandate or accountable care organizations as the focus of your Discussion this week.

Strategic Alliance in Health Care
Strategic alliance in health care arises about with accountable care in organization as related reforms aims to increase coordination between health care providers. Due to the uneven nature of health care system. Strategic alliance in health care along with successful coordination will pivot in large part on the ability of health care organization to successful partner across organizational boundaries. Furthermore, under Medicare partnership accountable care organization has lower quality enactment. This is arrived at by the use of qualitative interviews released that providers are motivated to partner for resource complementarity, risk lessening and legislative requirements. By way of conjointly bringing together official as well casual responsibility device. Strategic alliance in health care may provide an important window to screen a potential wave of health care consolidation or in contrast new models of independent providers’ successfully coordinating patient care.
There has been development in the number of physicians joining the practices and physician practice joining hospital and health care system. As result coordination of clinical care often requires working transversely in organizational boundaries. This is predominantly true when providing care to intricate or high need patients who often require attention for post- acute care facilities such as skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers and home health agencies strategic alliance in health care aims to encourage coordinating through financial incentive and rewards for meeting quality performance targets and total cost of care benchmarks. With required dynamic trust of association. So as to meet desired cost and quality objective. Strategic alliance in health care is recognized arrangements between two or more independent organization to succeed shared or harmonious goals. This is substantial growth in such relationships in health care sector. Notably, these arrangements between autonomous organizations are non-ownership relation based. The primary motivation for this strategic alliance in health lie in understanding needs for resources and capabilities needs to frontier transaction cost and the need to respond to external requirements from Medicare. The benefit of the strategic alliance in health care contribution risk or gaining resources, personnel benefits including improved staffing and management capabilities and organization benefits including growth, opportunities to learn and gain new proficiencies and mutual support and group collaboration.
Numerous methods have been used hence mixed method analysis which involves survey data, performance data, and semi-structured interviews. Questions examined involved to what range is strategic alliance in health benefit to the health sector organization, second how is strategic alliance performance in different organ.

The document discusses using a health production function to allocate resources between two programs in Detroit, Michigan. Program 1 is "Bariatricity Detroit", which establishes bariatric surgery centers. Program 2 is "Healthy Lifestyles Detroit", which provides education and coaching on healthy behaviors. The health production function shows that allocating funding to the smaller Program 2 would yield larger decreases in diabetes rates among low-income individuals due to diminishing returns. Marginal analysis also supports funding Program 2, as its marginal cost per individual is lower than Program 1's. The executive summary should recommend funding the lower-cost Program 2 to maximize health outcomes efficiently.

This requires an interprofessional and collaborative effort to address the complex factors at the individual, organizational, community, and policy levels associated with the multiple factors affecting the health and well-being of our communities (Graffunder, Sakurada, & Nordisk, 2016).
As a scholar-practitioner in the field, you may be expected to develop and lead a diverse team of health care professionals, civic leaders, community stakeholders, constituents, community members, other interested parties, and city, state, and government agencies in addressing a wide range of issues affecting the health of diverse groups.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply your leadership skills to form a collaborative, interprofessional coalition to address a population-based health concern from a nursing, public health, or health administration perspective.

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):
Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare iss.

Bite marks left behind as impressions on a person's body by an attacker have been used in forensic investigations. Odontologists compare the positions and number of teeth, as well as dental work in order to make their comparisons. One of the most famous cases where this type of evidence was used in the case of serial killer Theodore (Ted) Bundy. Bite marks were found on one of his victims which was compared to Bundy's bite mark impression and presented in court. While this may seem like solid evidence of identification, it has become controversial for use in criminal cases.

The document discusses using a health production function to allocate resources between two programs in Detroit, Michigan. Program 1 is "Bariatricity Detroit", which establishes bariatric surgery centers. Program 2 is "Healthy Lifestyles Detroit", which provides education and coaching on healthy behaviors. The health production function shows that allocating funding to the smaller Program 2 would yield larger decreases in diabetes rates among low-income individuals due to diminishing returns. Marginal analysis also supports funding Program 2, as its marginal cost per individual is lower than Program 1's. The executive summary should recommend funding the lower-cost Program 2 to maximize health outcomes efficiently.

Other top challenges include incorporating performance measurements, managing clinical knowledge, and using information technologies effectively. The author argues that addressing these challenges will help healthcare organizations provide better, more efficient care.
Accelerating Health Care Value --Singerman 06 02 2010 BNA Preprint
1) The document discusses the vision of transforming the US health system into a Learning Health System (LHS) as articulated by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
2) It lays out a simplified view of an LHS as having targets of Quality, Community and Value for consumers, clinicians and healthcare organizations, with an Innovation Engine to drive progress towards these targets through components like scanning, sharing, incubating and measuring innovations.
3) It describes how in an LHS, knowledge-based assets like people, processes, technology and relationships fuel the Innovation Engines to create outputs that meet the Quality, Community and Value targets for consumers, clinicians and the broader health system working together.
Managing Healthcare- Teja Mysore
The document compares the healthcare systems of France and the United States. It begins with an executive summary and overview of healthcare systems and models. France follows the Bismarck model with universal coverage funded through mandatory health insurance. The US has a fragmented system with both public and private components. While the US spends more on healthcare, France achieves better health outcomes at a lower cost. Both systems could benefit from each other by addressing issues like rising costs and ensuring access.

Discussion. Forensic Anthropology and Odontology. AT LEAST 160 WORDS AND ONE REFERENCE.
Bite marks left behind as impressions on a person's body by an attacker have been used in forensic investigations. Odontologists compare the positions and number of teeth, as well as dental work in order to make their comparisons. One of the most famous cases where this type of evidence was used in the case of serial killer Theodore (Ted) Bundy. Bite marks were found on one of his victims which was compared to Bundy's bite mark impression and presented in court. While this may seem like solid evidence of identification, it has become controversial for use in criminal cases.
In your post, explain why this type of analysis is controversial? Provide an example (not Bundy) of a specific criminal case or discussion in the media of this controversy, be sure to include sources. Include your opinion about using this technique in criminal cases.

Response to below discussion: Britt
The two main threats to biodiversity today are habitat loss and pollution. Our environments are seriously threatened by pollution. Pollution in the air, water, soil, and plastics have all have a negative impact on biodiversity. As you travel down the highways, you will see that plastic bottles and wrappers are all over the place, and factory emissions are contaminating the air with ammonia, dust, and soot. Animals suffering from respiratory distress from air pollution also have lower reproductive rates, which reduces biodiversity. In addition to polluting our air, greenhouse gases cause climate change, which destroys hundreds of coral reefs in our oceans. Our fish die from water contamination, which results in a decline in fish diversity. Another significant problem with biodiversity is habitat loss. Many species become extinct due to habitat loss. To develop another structure or establishment, this act entails razinf forests and habitats. Because they are removing such a large number of species from their habitats, this has a significant negative impact on biodiversity. Additionally, some species could become extinct completely as a result of this. These dangers are posed by people and companies that want to build more buildings and tear down forests and habitats to do so.

Discussion WK 9
The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy Evaluation
In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. A critical component of any policy design is evaluation of the results. How comfortable are you with the thought of becoming involved with such matters?
Some nurses may be hesitant to get involved with policy evaluation. The preference may be to focus on the care and well-being of their patients; some nurses may feel ill-equipped to enter the realm of policy and political activities. However, as you have examined previously, who better to advocate for patients and effective programs and polices than nurses? Already patient advocates in interactions with doctors and leadership, why not with government and regulatory agencies?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.
To Prepare:
· In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making.
· Review the Resources and reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.
By Day 3 of Week 9
Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.
Post an evaluation topic and a brief description of the evaluation. Discuss how social determinants impact this issue.

Rethinking the Efficacy-to-Effectiveness Transition
I Russell E. Glasgow, PhD, Edward Lichtenstein, PhD, and Alfred C, Marcus, PhD
The gap between research and practice is well documented. We address one of the
underlying reasons for this gap: the assumption that effectiveness research naturally
and logically follows from successful efficacy research. These 2 research traditions
have evolved different methods and values; consequently, there are inherent differ-
ences between the characteristics of a successful efficacy intervention versus those of
an effectiveness one. Moderating factors that limit robustness across settings, popu-

Discussion: Communicating in Your Internship
Directions
Kiser, Chapter 6: Communicating in Your Internship, describes the clientele who access HUS settings and successful communication skills for HUS practitioners. Throughout your HUS courses, you have been exposed to theoretical perspectives regarding individuals, groups, families, and agencies, and reviewed counseling, mental health, aging, multiculturalism, case management, and social policy. Now the time has come to apply your knowledge directly with human beings. As you have progressed through your internship and have reached the halfway mark, you have had opportunities to not only interact with clients but to observe situations in which you have been challenged to remain neutral and communicate effectively.
For your initial post:
1. Describe your client population. Cite Kiser Chapter 6 material to explain some of the characteristics of this group and some of the challenges a HUS professional might encounter.
2. Discuss what you have learned in your HUS coursework that has helped you to understand and work with this clientele. Specifically name the course and information. For example: Family Systems and Dynamics helped me to understand that the whole family plays a part in the problem that the client presents. Ethics taught me that the professional role has clear boundaries and that I must be aware of those boundaries to help my clients without violating ethical standards. Group Dynamics taught me that conflict and power may make it hard to serve my client population. Please refer to the courses you have taken.
3. Discuss at least 2 areas that have been more difficult as you work with the clientele.
4. Discuss your understanding of what roadblocks have been presented for you to overcome, for example, personal beliefs and values regarding conflict, anger, addiction, poverty, incarceration, aging, gender, culture, religion. It is important to be honest and own that although being objective is an ideal, as human beings, our own biases and beliefs will be brought into sharp relief as we deal directly with others who are facing challenges in their lives.
5. Discuss what you can do to work towards more neutrality when faced with clients who challenge you. Give at least three methods you can use to help you overcome these challenges.

Discussion Topic- Concepts of Managed Care
Health insurance companies cover services they define as medically necessary. Medical necessity is a decision made by a health plan as to whether the treatment, test, or procedure is necessary for a patient’s health or to treat a medical problem. Third-party payers (aka Insurance companies or health plans) often require documentation to illustrate medical necessity for treatment before payment will be made.
For your main Discussion post, evaluate and examine medical necessity from a
provider’s
(doctor, hospital, clinic, etc.) point of a view
and
from a

Discussion Prompt #1 - Juveniles as AdultsThe juvenile jus.docx
Discussion Prompt #1 - Juvenile's as Adults?
The juvenile justice system has evolved into a parallel yet independent system of justice with its own terminology and rules of prosecution. The primary purpose of juvenile procedures is protection and treatment; with adults, the aim is to punish the guilty. Are there any circumstances in which you believe that a juvenile may be tried as adults? On what basis have you arrived at this answer?
Discussion Prompt #2 - After School Programs
A major preventive advantage of school for juveniles is the monitoring and social control that principals, teachers, and other school staff provide. Some juveniles are on their own after school because their parents are at work. This time period can create opportunities for crime and delinquency. After-school programs can keep children and adolescents engaged in structured, prosocial activities until their parents return from work. How important are after-school programs for at-risk youth? Provide an example of an after-school youth program that is effective in engaging children and adolescents.

· In addition to your main post, you must post
three responses to other posts made by your classmates. These can be replies to other main posts or responding to student replies on your thread.
PLEASE RESPOND TO THE PEER POSTS BELOW
PEER 1
Ransomware works via finding its way onto a host computer, it's a kind of malware so it's like when your computer gets sick and slows it down but instead it locks out all your stuff. Usually what they ask for in return for control of your files is money, but sometimes they will ask for other important things. The FBI doesn't condone giving the attackers what they want because it's more than likely that they'll just take the money and keep your stuff locked, they'll possibly even ask for more. That's why they stress how important it is that if this happens to you then you should go to them for help. If your in a company then you ask your IT department.
The software goes through this encryption phase where it starts encrypting all the files on your computer until it's all locked and you can tell if something is encrypted usually because the file will have an extension added onto it. Such as .aaa , .micro , .encrypted , .ttt , .xyz , .zzz , .locky , .crypt , .cryptolocker , .vault , or .petya. These extensions are an indication that a file has been partially or fully encrypted. What's recommended is that as soon as you find out that your files are being locked, you disconnect from all wireless connections and other computing devices, because this virus can and will spread to cause even more havoc. It can spread across your network and ruin other computers on said network.
Ransomware is normally delivered by drive-by downloads or email phishing. Drive-by downloads are a fancy way of saying a download that you pick up while browsing a site and it runs in the background. Email phishing is one of the reasons you don't click on links from emails from anyone, even from trusted sources. If you know who the email is coming from your best bet is to get with them personally to make sure that it's a valid email and that it's not an attacker. If a ransom is paid though, the attack may give you an encryption key to unlock your files, if your lucky enough. Why take a chance though, you should always take the smart path and make sure that you contact the proper authorities if you come across anything like this in your time. Also make sure to back up your computer files, it may sound obvious enough to want to put it off and procrastinate this, but the longer you wait the more at risk you are.

Discussion Ethics in Cross-Cultural ResearchWhile many psyc.docx
Discussion: Ethics in Cross-Cultural Research
While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss. For instance, the psychologist may not be aware of different rules and regulations for research in different nations, or about various spoken and unspoken cultural beliefs about morals and ethics and the role and purpose of research, such as differing understandings and beliefs about what merits co-authorship or what constitutes privacy and confidentiality. Familiarizing yourself with such ethical considerations will be important for you to understand in your future professional practice.
For this Discussion, you will examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.
To Prepare:
Consider the following:
Professor Plum wants to investigate cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards different foods. He is very interested in nation “X”. However, he has never been there nor does he know the language or culture or the political situation. He also does not know if there are any psychologists living in that nation. Understanding attitudes about foods in this nation may help with people with eating disorders in Professor Plum’s country and eventually may help people with eating disorders in many nations.
As you consider Professor Plum’s research, think about the impact of his plans on human subject protection. Also, consider the ethical implications of the aims of his research purposes and his ability to gain information that will accurately represent those from whom he collects data.
Before Professor Plum begins his research,
post
and explain some of the potential ethical issues he will need to consider (i.e., impact on human subject protection) and why this is an important consideration. Further explain two ethical issues and suggest what courses of action might be appropriate.

Discussion 2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods .docx
Discussion 2: Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods in Cross-Cultural Research
In cross-cultural psychology research, a broad range of techniques is utilized to determine the best way to access critical data. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, laboratory experiments may offer great control and ability to examine issues of cause and effect, but may not always reflect actual real-world conditions, especially in cross cultural situations. As an additional example, long term field work and interviews conducted by living in a given cultural setting for a year or two, may offer the possibility of many nuanced observations, yet such qualitative work will not lead to statistical or experimental designs. Each method tends to have pros and cons, rather than one method being the "right" one for every situation. For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using different research methods in cross-cultural research.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Integration of Health SystemsNote Before completing this Assign.docx
- 1. Integration of Health Systems Note: Before completing this Assignment, please familiarize yourself with the Week 4 Assignment Rubric, located in the Course Information area of the course navigation menu. Intermountain Healthcare is a high-performing integrated health system with facilities in Utah and Idaho. The health system has a long-standing clinical integration structure that encourages professional collaboration. Despite this, in 1999, many physicians at Intermountain Healthcare found it difficult to fulfill the needs of patients with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. To efficiently and effectively address this issue, Intermountain Healthcare adopted a mental health integration model in many of its primary care facilities, as well as some of its specialty clinics and partner clinics. The team- based approach has improved the coordination of services, resulting in higher quality care at a savings of cost . Consider the example above. What advantages does integration afford Intermountain Healthcare? Do other integrated health systems experience similar benefits? Are there disadvantages to integration? If so, what are they? To prepare for this Assignment, review the information related to vertical and horizontal integration presented in the Learning Resources. Select one of the following horizontally integrated health systems: National Surgical Hospitals Select Medical Healthcare Sunrise Senior Living
- 2. Labcorp Quest Diagnostics Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Also select one of the following vertically integrated health systems: Kaiser Permanente Mayo Clinic Cleveland Clinic MedStar Health Memorial Hermann Healthcare System Houston As an alternative, you may use Becker’s Hospital Review resource to identify a vertically integrated health system. Using the Walden Library and credible sources on the Internet, research your selected health systems. Investigate the rationale for pursuing integration and the strategies each health system has used to achieve integration. Note information related to the size of each health system, settings/locations, and types of services it provides. Based on your research, consider the ways in which the two health systems are similar to and/or different from one another. Assess the business and health care-related implications of horizontal and vertical integration of your selected health systems. How does integration impact the management of your selected organizations and the patients/consumers they serve, especially in terms of cost, quality, and access? Consider any applicable insights you have gained through the Discussion for this week. The Assignment Write a paper in which you: Compare the horizontally integrated health system and the vertically integrated health system you have selected (e.g., size, settings/locations, and types of services).
- 3. Explain each health system’s rationale for pursuing integration and the strategies it has used to achieve integration. Assess the business and health care-related implications of integration for your selected health systems, including how integration impacts the patients/consumers the organization serves. General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Assignment should be 3–4 pages, excluding a title page and references. Refer to the Week 4 Assignment Rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.
