4. Chat Session Questions for Week #2
Discuss the following questions for
approximately 45 minutes. Outside information and additional sources are
invited but not mandatory.
As a masters prepared member of the health
services workforce, it is vital that you be able to encounter unfamiliar
material and assimilate it into the body of knowledge you have already
acquired and adapt it to your current position and circumstance. As you
know, health systems exist within the specific social and environmental
setting of a nation. Rather than boring you with an article about suggested
reforms and future directions for the Canadian healthcare system, I thought
I would challenge your analytical skills with this piece of peer-reviewed
epidemiological research and ask you to interpret the research results in
the manner of a health systems analyst.
- 4.1. Discuss bodychecking. What is bodychecking
and why is it important in the social context of Canada? What did this
research find? As a group, discuss and develop policy recommendations.
These recommendations can impact the healthcare system and any other areas
which might have an environmental impact on the healthcare system.
- 4.2 Discuss the previous questions in the
context of a similar issue that might exist in the United States or in
another country.
