1. Summarize both the benefits and the drawbacks of top-down vs. bottom-up budgeting. Which works best in your current or future setting?
2. Concisely describe the eight design characteristics of budgeting. Which do you feel would be most effective in running a for-profit hospital, and why?
3. Choose any department in the healthcare setting, and explain how their production units would be effectively measured. How do these production units tie into the larger budgeting process?

Question 1 :

Identify one health care reform initiative put forth by a  politician. Briefly discuss the initiative. Who do you feel the  initiative benefits? Who does it harm? Should it be passed? Why or why  not?

Question 2 :

For this reflective discussion:  Reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course.

• What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from  learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that  you would challenge?
• What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?
• Optional: Offer feedback on how the course and/or facilitation of the course can be improved.

Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical  thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make  connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions  based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker raises  vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;  gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to  interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and  solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks  open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and  assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical  consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out  solutions to complex problems. (Paul & Elder, 2008)

In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your  opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be  sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the  text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a  minimum of 250 words.
