The development of healthcare services varies from one location to another. Plan a bulleted outline that assesses the key healthcare services available in your community. In your work, be sure to address the following:
- Briefly characterize your community (include demographic information such as population, geography, mean income, race, and ethnic diversity).
- Contact your local public health department or major medical facility and inquire about the extent and variety of local services.
- Identify and evaluate the main healthcare facility or facilities. Include public, private, and non-governmental organizations in your assessment.
- Examine the characteristics of hospitals, ambulatory care, and long-term care facilities.
- Compare statistics regarding these provider types to other communities in your area.
Support your outline with a minimum of five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 p., not including title and reference pages.
