Comparative analysis of inpatient and outpatient services

Case Assignment Use the online library, Internet, required reading, and other resources to research and develop a more complete appreciation of the inpatient setting. References should be no more than 5 years old. Web sites are only acceptable when accessing a government site. Web sites should only be from reliable sources. Based on your findings, write a graduate level comparative analysis of inpatient and outpatient services that clearly addresses the following: Identify and describe an inpatient setting (e.g., acute inpatient units, inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing, etc.) and an outpatient setting to include the services provided, key personnel within the department, and how this department supports or is supported by other departments. Identify, describe, and evaluate a current trend that is currently impacting inpatient and outpatient services. These can be trends related to technology, supply and demand, political climate, regulatory, demographic changes, or patient care. Analyze the trends, and thinking as a health care administrator, how do you capitalize on these trends to improve operation and bottom line performance? How can you mitigate the negative impact of the trends? Length: 3-4 pages, not including the title or reference page(s).
