In this Competency, you explored the various sources for funding healthcare
services in the United States. As a healthcare administrator, it will be
necessary to find creative ways to make much needed healthcare services
available to everyone, even for those who are underinsured or lack insurance
entirely.
Based on the following scenario, please create a 2–3 pages board brief in
APA style, including at least 2 scholarly citations:
You are a healthcare administrator in need of an additional funding
source to provide to your uninsured and underinsured patients. You are
creating a brief for your board advocating for the addition of a private or
public funding source to meet the needs of your patients. Your brief
should also explain how the funding source you selected relates to the
Affordable Care Act.
Describe the current funding sources that are accepted in your
healthcare setting. Then explain the features and benefits of one private
or one public funding source you would like to offer to underinsured or
uninsured patients in your healthcare setting. Then explain why the
funding source you selected has more advantages than others that you
considered and how the source you selected relates to the Affordable
Care Act.
