Choosing a Health Care
Provider. Numerous
resources now exist that allow individuals to make an informed choice of who
will provide their medical care. Unfortunately, the average health care
consumer is unaware of where to find information about hospitals, medical
providers, and insurance coverage. Imagine that you are assisting someone in
your community (a real or fictitious person of your choice) in finding a
medical provider. In your post, provide a brief description of this person and
address the following questions:
What factors would you need to keep in
mind while conducting this search?
How would you evaluate who the best
medical provider for this person is?
Consider the type of care necessary, cost,
the level and type of insurance coverage available, and any other related
issues. What would make someone a good or bad medical provider for this person?
Review this week’s reading “Your Guide to
Choosing Quality Health Care,” for ideas. Based on this information, conduct a
search for medical providers in your area. What did your search reveal?
