This Discussion aligns to the NCHL domain of Relations. Specifically, it focuses on the second level of the Team Leadership competency: “Keeps People Informed.” For more information on how this icon aligns to the NCHL Health Leadership Competency Model 3.0, refer to the MHA Iconography page.
In this Discussion, you will continue to analyze your continuum of care scenario using the value-based care model, the IOM Aims, and a country comparison. You will continue to work with Team B and share your suggestions for improvements. Then, you will provide peer-review feedback on your colleagues’ suggestions, and they will do the same for you. This feedback will be incorporated into the Week 9 Assignment, which you should continue to update this week.

To prepare for this Discussion:
- Continue to collaborate with Team B to ensure that each member of your team receives peer-review feedback from at least two colleagues.
- Locate your Community Profile and Continuum of Care document that you developed in Week 3 and return to your continuum of care scenario. Research how your community and specific diagnosis relate the following:
- The value-based care element of: Geography of care.
- The IOM Aim of: Be timely.
- Additionally, research and identify a country outside of the United States that has a healthcare delivery model that closely aligns with the value-based care element of “geography of care.”
By Wednesday
Post your evaluation of a continuum of care scenario and country comparison based on your Week 3 Community Profile and Continuum of Care scenario, to address the following:
- In one sentence, briefly identify the city/state in which your health community is located, the specific diagnosis for your identified health issue, and the country you used as a comparison.
- Using at least one scholarly source, propose at least one improvement that could be made based on the following element of the value-based care model:
- Geography of care
- Using at least one scholarly source, propose at least one improvement that could be made based on the following IOM Aim:
- Be timely
- Using at least one scholarly source, compare your community’s model of healthcare delivery to the delivery model of the country that closely aligns with the value-based care element of “geography of care.” What lessons—positive or negative—could your community learn from the other country?
Read the postings from each member of your team, even if you are not intending to provide peer-review feedback to each member. Consider how your colleagues’ postings relate to the information presented in the Learning Resources and to your own posting.
Refer to the Week 8 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
By Friday
Provide peer-review feedback to at least two colleagues based on what you came across in your research, to include the following:
- Evaluate your colleague’s initial post (focusing on the value-based care element, IOM Aim, and country comparison) and provide constructive feedback that is supported by your research.
Note: Be sure that your perspectives are supported with evidence.
By Sunday
Respond to at least two postings by members of your group as follows:
- Continue engaging in the Discussion.
- Follow up on the peer feedback that was provided to you.
- Review the feedback that was provided to other colleagues and provide your perspective based on what you came across in your research.
SOLUTION HLTH 8051E Week 8 Discussion: Continuum of Care Scenario: Team B Discussion 2
Hello Class,
In Phoenix, Arizona, unintentional injuries, particularly traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) caused by motor vehicle accidents, are a critical public health concern. The country used for comparison is the Netherlands.
Improvement Proposal Based on Geography of Care
One of the main elements of value-based care is the “geography of care,” which refers to ensuring equitable access to healthcare services regardless of location. Phoenix’s TBI care model is supported by advanced facilities such as Banner University Medical Center and Barrow Neurological Institute, but rural areas around Phoenix face disparities in access to specialized care. A major improvement to address this issue would involve expanding telemedicine capabilities to bridge the gap between urban centers and rural communities. Research has shown that telemedicine can effectively enhance access to specialized care for remote populations, leading to improved patient outcomes (DeJong et al., 2021). By using telehealth services, Phoenix’s healthcare system can ensure that patients in distant or underserved areas have access to timely TBI treatment without needing to travel long distances (DeJong et al., 2021)…
