Healthcare Systems

 Description

Part I: The world is becoming smaller and smaller and when companies look to expand they often look outside their original footprint. Rasmussen Healthcare Systems is looking to expand their system to another state. To help advise Rasmussen on this decision, you will write 4-5 pages that compare and contrast the healthcare reform policies of the state where you reside (Illinois) and another state of your choice(Minnesota). Please keep in mind the position and facility you selected. Make sure to include the following:

1. Discuss the purpose of each state’s reform.
2. Describe a minimum of three specific examples of      similarities and differences in healthcare reform policies in the two      states.
3. Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral      disputes in each state’s reform.
4. Discuss your recommendation on whether Rasmussen      Healthcare Systems should expand to the second state.
5. This portion of your assignment will require you to      research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of      five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source      from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text      citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting).
6. Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

1. Length of PowerPoint is up to the student. (5 slide)
2. Highlight specific policy changes in each state’s      reform.
3. Highlight each similarity and difference.
4. Highlight your final recommendation on whether      Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the other state.
5. Use the Notes area on each slide  to expand on      the key points.
