and vocabulary.

Include information derived from your course materials, research in the University Library, and
your personal analysis describing why these exhibits must be included. Descriptions and analysis

HCS 235 Week 2 Individual Assignment Health Care Utilization Paper

Resource: Health Care Utilization Paper Grading Criteria

Select either Option 1 or Option 2 and write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper.

Option 1

Health care reform is part of an ongoing debate and recent substantial legislation. Address the
following in your paper:

In what ways have recent health care reform measures expanded or inhibited access to care?
How might changes to access influence utilization?
Explain the concept of what universal health care may be, and how current care reflects or
contrasts with this.
What has been your experience with health care expansion? Was it positive or negative?
Explain.

Option 2

John Q. recently moved to a rural community. He works full-time, but qualifies for Medicaid
because of his low income. John has high blood pressure and his father recently had a heart
attack. Thus, he decided to call to find out which providers nearby accept Medicaid. While there
are local doctors, he discovered that the closest primary care physician who accepts Medicaid is
a 40-minute drive and appointments must be made 2 weeks in advance due to the number of
patients at the practice. In addition, the practice does not offer weekend or evening hours. John
usually catches a ride to work with a friend or relies on public transportation.
According to Chapter 4 of The U.S. Health System: Origins and Functions, Andersen (1995)
developed a model of health services utilization based on three categories of factors:
predisposing, enabling, and need. These factors can be further categorized as mutable or
immutable. In your paper, discuss the following questions:

What factors may affect Johns health care utilization?

Are these factors mutable or immutable?
What are some ways to change the mutable factors?
