**Law and Ethics in Healthcare**
**Week 8 Discussion**
**What Drives Healthcare Costs?**
In this week’s Discussion, you will focus on practical solutions to reducing healthcare costs while improving quality and access. Because health care in the United States is a business, it is imperative that healthcare administrators understand that providing safe, quality healthcare services under budget is one of the single most important performance metrics that they can benchmark for success.
**To prepare for this Discussion:**
· Choose a healthcare policy issue in your workplace or community related to cost, quality, or access. You may wish to explore the literature and healthcare policy websites to ascertain what is working and what might work in your workplace or community.
**Post** your Discussion, to include the following:
· Provide an analysis of the healthcare policy issue you chose, making sure to address these specific points:
· Describe the healthcare policy issue you selected.
· Provide and explain the statistics depicting the issue.
· Explain how this issue relates to healthcare costs, quality, and access.
· Explain why a lack of price transparency can contribute to increased healthcare costs.
· Explain a strategy that you would propose to decrease healthcare costs.
· Be sure to provide examples from your professional experiences to demonstrate cost concerns in your particular field. Alternatively, you can use personal anecdotes/stories to illustrate some of the problems that exist.
**Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.**
