Week 1 Individual Assignment: U.S. Health Care Systems For Small Population Part 1

Your project throughout this course will:

1. Analyze an existing health care system and evaluate how that system can be improved to better serve the community
2. Conceive a new or improved health care service, then design a facility to provide that service
3. Develop the structure, functions, and processes of the facility
4. Submit an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) proposal

Your proposal should be fiscally, socially, ethically, and politically responsible. The goal is to have a net positive benefit to the health care system and the community it serves.

To begin, select an existing health care system in a small U.S. city preferably in the state where you live. The city should have a population of less than 200,000.
