compare the U.S. health care system to a country of your choice

Students will compare the U.S. health care system to a country of your
choice. Students may choose any country to submit for approval in Module 1. This assignment requires a
cover page with the title indicating the country you wish to compare to the U.S. health care system and 2 paragraphs explaining why this country is chosen.

Before you submit your country, make sure you are able to find at least three primary sources
with enough information to write a quality paper that meets the length requirements and for
comparing key indicators of the U.S. health care system to your choice country. Primary sources
are the WHO, NIH, CDC, OECD, the county’s national health care website, government websites, and so
on.

NOTE: There is a comprehensive database of health care statistics for 30 different countries, including
the U.S., from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This is an
international organization that collects economic and health care data. The database has 1,200 different
data elements, with a time series from 1960 to 2010. It is used by the World Health Organization, the
U.S., and other OECD reporting participants. The entire world accesses and utilizes this data to
determine what may be the most efficient and effective way to deliver health care. The OECD, HCQI data
may be used for your papers. It will show where these 30 developed countries are in healthcare services
and which of these countries are making progress. Click here or type the URL in the reference below
(OECD, 2011) into your browser.
Students may choose any other country outside of the 30 in the spreadsheet, as long as there are enough
quality references.

THEN

Using the course project template in Doc Sharing as a guide and the references found, prepare an outline
of the Term Paper (sample outline format below). The template is only a guide
and you do not have to write the paper verbatim from the outline. It will help you formulate the paper
outline, and guide you in your research and writing. An outline is very important because it helps you
organize research topics and write the paper. It also helps the flow of your paper, e.g., transitions from
one subtitle topic to the next. Each outline will vary depending on your research findings. Students will
submit Writing Assignment to the Dropbox by no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT
