HIT 120 WEEK 2 HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS

This week, we will focus on gaining a better understanding of healthcare delivery systems in the United States, hospital structure, and various healthcare professions, including health information management, coding, and billing. As you complete your weekly readings, listen to the weekly lecture, read the weekly lessons and complete the weekly check points.

1. Read the Real-World Case 2.1 (at the end of Chapter 2). Then, summarize the case very briefly in your own words. In what type of settings was Marsha seen? How could the length of time from diagnosis to surgery have been reduced for Marsha? What are some ways that Marsha could have shared her information between all of the facilities? What could her providers have done to make the sharing of information easier for Marsha?
2. Discuss in detail one of the major pieces of legislation passed by Congress.  See pages 26-29 in your textbook.
3. Read another student’s response and post a comment. Your comment can add to their discussion, supplement with additional information, or present another point of view. It is not enough to simply post “agree” or “great job!”

Your discussion deliverables should include:

1. Two written responses discussing any of the topics above. Make sure you write the topic you are responding to at the beginning of your response.
2. A third written response of your choice. This can be about:
   1. The third topic you did not address already. If you go with this option, make sure you identify which topic you are addressing.
   2. Response to a new question or probe posted by the professor during the week. Start by stating which question or probe you are addressing and make sure you click under that particular thread.
   3. Further explanation or elaboration on another student’s response. Start by stating which student’s response you are addressing and make sure you click under that particular thread.
   4. Sharing of relevant experiences or examples that support the issue being discussed. Explain which concepts you are illustrating with your example.

For a high-quality response, please make sure to provide details and explanations and use your own words. Please DO NOT plagiarize (do not copy the textbook or do not copy information from the internet.) It’s OK to write in simple terms; the most important outcome is to practice you writing and presentation skills, reflect your knowledge about this week’s content, and demonstrating professionalism. This will help with retention in the long-term. Don’t forget to use proper grammar and spelling, as well as references for the additional resources you use.
