<v ->Hi everyone, and welcome to module three.</v>

2
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:07.680
This week we're going to be continuing our discussion

3
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:08.885
of healthcare financing

4
00:00:08.885 --> 00:00:10.980
by learning about the financial management

5
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.620
of healthcare organizations.

6
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:16.140
We're going to build upon the lessons of the previous module

7
00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:17.520
by comparing and contrasting

8
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.790
private and public healthcare models in different countries.

9
00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:22.980
While the descriptions of different financial policies

10
00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.320
can sometimes be tedious to learn about,

11
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.390
remember that payment is an essential component

12
00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:30.090
of how people access healthcare around the world.

13
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:31.560
It's very important to understand

14
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:34.601
different healthcare models as a healthcare organization

15
00:00:34.601 --> 00:00:37.320
in order to understand what gaps might exist

16
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.390
and how a global health organization chooses

17
00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:41.820
to position itself in a market.

18
00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:45.088
This week, you will have some readings and videos to watch.

19
00:00:45.088 --> 00:00:46.800
I also would encourage you

20
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:48.330
to explore the country fact sheets

21
00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:51.090
by the Commonwealth Fund posted in this module.

22
00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:52.980
They are an excellent primers on differences

23
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:55.920
between how countries choose to fund their healthcare.

24
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.690
After completing the learning materials,

25
00:00:57.690 --> 00:01:00.060
you have a quiz, a discussion on Yellowdig,

26
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:01.140
and an introduction

27
00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:02.880
to one of the major assignments of the course,

28
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.470
the final paper.

29
00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:06.445
For the discussion, you have two different options,

30
00:01:06.445 --> 00:01:09.060
please choose one to post about.

31
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.030
Additionally, this week we're going to be selecting topics

32
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:13.770
for the final course paper.

33
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:15.720
The final version of the paper will be due

34
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:17.100
at the very end of the semester,

35
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:19.500
but we're going to be working on it throughout the course

36
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.480
to make it more manageable.

37
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.220
The full description of the paper assignment

38
00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:26.190
can be found in the syllabus and on Brightspace.

39
00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:27.360
This week, please submit

40
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:28.800
a three to five sentence description

41
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:31.080
of your final paper topic.

42
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.330
Think of this description as a possible introduction

43
00:01:33.330 --> 00:01:34.830
to your final paper.

44
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:37.320
Grab my attention and present the broad strokes

45
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.410
of your paper in a synced, concise way.

46
00:01:40.410 --> 00:01:43.410
Here, brevity is going to be key.

47
00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:45.090
As always, feel free to reach out

48
00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:46.708
with any comments or questions you have

49
00:01:46.708 --> 00:01:48.903
and I hope you all have a great week!
