Burden of Disease

Prevention strategies must account for the diversity of the population. Understanding how communities consume health information and access health services may greatly contribute to the prevention of disease within a community.

For this assignment, you will be required to consider how access to health information may contribute to the overall health of a community. You will be required to consider how to make prevention messages more effective and widespread.

Read the following case study from your textbook:

• Case 10: The Strategies to Overcome and Prevent Obesity Alliance

Then, perform the following tasks to complete this assignment:

1. Go to The Community Guide website at The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide) and review the intervention strategies used to reduce the burden of disease in that community or population.
2. Discuss these strategies in your paper and provide recommendations for improving upon those strategies.
3. Review relevant policies that impact your chosen geographic location and the health of the residents in this area. You may search for philanthropic organizations in your area that focus on health as a part of their mission. Often times, these organizations review and analyze health policies for your area. Examples of such philanthropic organizations are United Way, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Public Health Institutes.
4. Identify some of the local champions for health policy or health issues in your selected area. Discuss how these local champions have been effective in advocating for change in your selected area or location.

Compliance and Reporting to Prevent Poor Health Outcomes

With the rising costs of healthcare, employers and consumers find it difficult to afford adequate health services. The United States spends more on healthcare costs than many other countries in the world with less wealthy economies. New healthcare legislation will incentivize healthcare providers and insurance plans based on the improved health outcomes of their patient population. This type of pay-for-performance system will hopefully enhance the delivery of healthcare and will reduce healthcare costs.

Using the weekly readings, the South University online library resources, and the Internet, research the healthcare legislation and pay-for-performance system.

Based on your research, respond to the following:

• Do you feel that pay-for-performance is a good way to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs?
• What are the pros and cons of this type of system? 

Give reasons and examples in support of your responses. Be sure to cite any relevant resources.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original, and free from plagiarism. Follow the APA format for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.
