Patient Avatar Analysis

• 4.1: Compare the roles and responsibilities of primary care providers and specialists in delivering high-value health care.
• 4.2: Develop strategies for integrating primary and specialty care to enhance patient-centered care and health outcomes.
• 4.3: Analyze the impact of care coordination between primary and specialty care on patient satisfaction and health care efficiency.

Review your Patient-Centered Clinical Scenario. Consider the following:

1. Patient population and specific health care dilemma
2. Key issues related to patient care and health system inefficiencies
3. Current literature and course materials to help define the problem

Research and Analyze the Health System Context

1. Compare and contrast different health systems approaches to managing similar cases.
2. Assess how health care economics and policies influence health care utilization and patient outcomes.
3. Identify barriers to care, cost concerns, and gaps in quality.

Develop Potential Solutions

1. Brainstorm at least two evidence-based solutions that enhance access, quality, and value.
2. Consider interdisciplinary approaches, technological interventions, and policy recommendations.
3. Compare the pros and cons of each proposed solution.

Evaluate Ethical and Systemic Considerations

1. Identify ethical dilemmas related to the case study (e.g., patient autonomy, equity in care).
2. Discuss how social determinants of health impact the feasibility of your solutions.
3. Consider regulatory or legal implications that may affect implementation.

Select and Develop an Implementation Plan

1. Choose the most viable solution based on evidence and feasibility.
2. Outline a step-by-step approach for integrating this solution into the health system.
3. Address individual factors (e.g., patient engagement, provider training) and system elements (e.g., funding, infrastructure).
4. Estimate potential costs and resource allocation.

Create a Presentation

1. Develop a PowerPoint presentation (1015 slides) summarizing your case study and proposed solution.
2. Structure your presentation to clearly articulate the problem, solutions, and implementation plan.
3. Include visual aids, data-driven insights, and references to support your findings.
