Module 4 Discussion

Discussion: Licensing, Credentialing, Certification, and Privileging

Part 1:

 According to Shi & Singh (2017), “some features of the U.S. health care delivery have remained stable, but the future will be determined by how certain forces of change interact… serious challenges lie ahead unless the nation can control rising consumption of health care resources, the costs associated with them, and mend an economy that has not meaningfully improved in several years” (pg. 358).

Based on your learnings in this course, discuss 2 or 3 improvement recommendations (eliminating political preference) for the current U.S. health care delivery system. Support your recommendations with scholarly references.

Your posts will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted in the “Before You Begin” section. Please review this section as well as the discussion scoring rubric.
