Iron Triangle of Health Care
What is the Iron Triangle of health care? Name and briefly describe each of the components.
Explain the need for balancing the triangle using a specific example.
How does the Affordable Care Act attempt to support this balance? Give 3 specific Titles as examples and explain.
Indicators of National Health Status
We analyzed how poorly the U.S. has performed on leading indicators of national health status, most notably life expectancy and infant mortality. Using 2 countries for comparison, one performing better than the U.S and one performing worse, which components of the iron triangle do you think are out of balance and can be used to explain these disparities. Briefly explain.
Name at least 2 Titles from the ACA (one for each indicator) that you think were designed to address these results. Explain.
Government Agencies
Identify 2 U.S. government agencies whose purpose overlaps with, and thereby supports, the intent of the Affordable Care Act. State the agency and describe what the agency does.

What does the term stakeholder mean? Explain how it is applied to healthcare.
Identify 4-5 stakeholders in the U.S. healthcare system and give a brief description of each.

Improving Hospital Operations
Using either the Lean Sig Sigma or PDSA model as a model for improving hospital operations, describe the intent of the model, list and briefly describe the steps.
Provide a specific example of a success story.
How can using the model impact each of the components of the iron triangle?
Why must a hospital engage in one of these types of processes
