 Health & Medical Insurance

Short papers should be between 1000 and 1200 words (excluding references). The paper should be written in APA format. The short papers’ function is to permit you to synthesize facts that you have learned in the course and apply critical reasoning to those integrated facts. Another role of the short papers is to help you work on concise presentations of complex facts and ideas. Please write about the future of managed care and the four basic health delivery functions that have been fragmented (financing, insurance, delivery, and payment). Talk about the future of the importance of management in healthcare and how the delivery of healthcare might be impacted in the future. Please talk about the trends and directions of our health care system and where it is headed. Talk about managers in health care facilities and how they will plan and make managerial decisions to ensure the best possible quality of care while taking efficiency and cost-friendliness into consideration. Please complete a reference page at the end of the paper.

Here is the rubric in which the short paper will be graded upon.
