1. Continuum and Coordination of Health Care Presentation
To develop the content for your presentation, record detailed notes as you complete the
following steps. Review the information about the continuum and coordination of health
services presented in the Learning Resources, including the HIMSS resource, Continuum of
Care, and the tables in Chapter 1 of the course text. Develop a brief description of a
hypothetical adult patient who has a serious health problem or injury. Imagine this patient
lives in your local area. If you are an international student, you may choose a geographic
area in the United States or use your own location. Use the pertinent information in
Chapters 7, 8, 9, and/or 10 of the Shi & Singh textbook and conduct additional research of
your own to analyze specific services your hypothetical patient might need, beginning with
the onset or diagnosis of an illness or injury and concluding with an end-point of your
choosing (i.e., recovery, symptom management, end of life). Also research the types of
organizations that provide those services. Investigate the health care organizations in your
local area. Based on the services your hypothetical patient needs, select four or five actual
settings in which he/she would receive care. Next, gather information related to the types of
insurance from which each organization accepts payment. Typically, this would include
Medicare, Medicaid, and various types of insurance programs. What challenges do you
anticipate your patient may have related to payment for services? Review the Institute for
Healthcare Improvement (2014) resource and consider what it means for health care to be
safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Analyze how the scenario
you have created—with your hypothetical patient receiving services from actual settings in
your geographic area—illustrates positive or negative attributes related to two or more of
the six Institute of Medicine aims.to create a Use the template to create a succinct and
engaging PowerPoint presentation. Include the following: Title slide Introduction slide 9-12
slides in which you: Introduce the patient, health problem/injury, and geographic area.
Describe the continuum of care, including specific services from four or five actual settings
in your local area. Describe a potential challenge related to payment for services this patient
may encounter. Describe how two or more of the six Institute of Medicine (IOM) aims are
positively observed in the settings you have chosen. Sources slide* List all resources (a
minimum of 4) used to develop your presentation. *Apply the design principles included in
Presentation Guidelines and Tips to develop a professional presentation. On your content
slides, use a combination of text, photos, graphs, maps, links to websites, color contrasts,
and/or other visual elements to convey the information. Create presenter notes of a few
sentences to accompany each slide in a way that supports (rather than duplicates) the
