You have been designated by the senior management team at a community hospital to write a summary on the impact of a selected population group on the health care (services and costs) in the specific geographic region in which a facility is located.

 

Choose one of the selected topics:

 

Topic #1: Aging population in Southwest Florida / Charlotte County

Topic #2: Diabetes population in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley Region

Topic #3:  Obese children in San Diego, California

 

·         Write a 1,100 to 1,400-word paper about the demographic you selected. Include the following in your paper:

 

o    Demographic data related to your selected population group in your selected region (race, age, income, education, family status, future trends and et cetera). See additional tips in the Main forum.

 

o    Describe the impact that this demographic group has on the health care market (health care costs and services specifically in the selected region); share specific examples from your selected region). Provide factual evidence obtained through research.

o    Identify two key health care-related challenges to this population, such as increases in health care costs, increases in prescription drug costs, the need for in-home medical care and et cetera. Provide factual evidence obtained through research.

o    Describe how a chronic disease wellness program may affect the health care costs for this population group. Will it increase health care costs or decrease health care costs? Why? Explain and share specific examples / apply factual evidence and research in your reasoning.


o    What do the demographics tell you about the marketing needs or services needed for this population (in respect to your own organization)? Please, be specific in identifying these needs; think in terms related to your selected facility. List specific marketing strategies that your selected facility could use to communicate with your selected population group. Be specific here. Apply research. 

o    How can the individual patient, the community, and society as a whole address these challenges? Please, be specific; avoid using generalizations and truism. Apply researched evidence to this part (list some of  current health and legislative initiatives that address the presented challenge).

 

·         Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines, the Turnitin Similarity Index needs to be below 25% with all sources appropriately identified in your paper. Please, remember, even paraphrased materials need to be credited in the text of your paper. See information on “How to write scholarly papers” and
“How to apply research in your projects” posted in the Main forum. Feel free to use the Demographic Paper APA template posted in your Individual forum  in Week 3. Do not hesitate to contact me (your facilitator) with any questions related to formatting. I will be happy to assist you.

Include a minimum of three credible references, not including the textbook.
