Overview:
Healthcare for a city, county or regional area has always been a concern for
public administrators. The case study of Wyandotte County (see attached) is a
reality that can happen anywhere, even in economic downturns and upturns. In
cases, such as Wyandotte County, insights presented in Chapter Four (see
attached) of the text can be brought forth in providing attainable solutions. Ananlysis
questions:
1. While healthcare is just
one of many issues for the Unified Government and several of the other
non-governmental organizations in the case, provide two alternatives in
reframing how a metropolitan government approach could
provide a meaningful impact on population health. Use specific examples
from Chapter Four and relate them to the case elements or groups.
2. What other “reframing” concepts could a public administrator put forth to show that a local government really have an impact on poverty and poor health? Executive summary: Students will refer to the Executive Summary Guide that will provide the instructions for developing the Executive Summary Essay. The Executive Summary shall be in an essay format with a minimum of 500 - 600 words. Do not use footers in your paper.
Healthcare
for a population denotes a significant concern for public administrators, such
as those in Wyandotte County, who assume a central role in mitigating public
health challenges. Some of the greatest public health achievements could not
prevail without policy assessment and change. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s list of varied health achievements, including demographic
characteristics, diabetes, and motor vehicle safety have been involved in
creating policy changes. The case study denotes an improvement in the average
life expectancy for people living in Wyandotte County, United States increased
to 76.8% in 2000 from 47.3% in 1900 (Wyandotte, n, d). The different readings
tend to propose principles that are indispensable for policy change based on
collective experiences, whose implications serve as a central motivation in
mitigating public health challenges that continue to burden society.
