Consider how people qualify to receive Medicare and/or Medicaid and write a
paper that addresses the bullets below. There should be four (4) sections in
your paper; one for each bullet below. Separate each section in your paper
with a clear brief heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you
are addressing in that section of your paper. Start your paper with an
introduction and include a “Conclusion” section that summarizes all topics.
This paper should consist of at least 1750 words and no more than 2000.
This week reflect upon the Medicare and Medicaid programs to address the
following:
Describe the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) and explain how
the QIO improves policies and healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries.
Briefly define the qualifications for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. How
can qualifications be modified to serve more people who are considered a
vulnerable population?
Discuss the impact (including at least two positive and two negative
aspects) that the ACA has had on benefits and coverage for Medicare
and Medicaid recipients.
Describe your role(s) as a healthcare leader as it applies to the practice
of advocating for cost effective care for vulnerable populations
