Assignment Description
The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
In an HMO the primary care physician acts as the gatekeeper to all higher levels of care that the patient may need. In theory this means that the physician decides what is best for the patient and coordinates his or her care while at the same times working to control costs and trying to ensure the delivery of care in the most efficient manner possible.
Thinking about this from both a provider’s and a payer’s perspectives answer the following questions:
In your own words post a substantive response to the Discussion Board question(s) and comment on other postings. Your response should address the DB question(s) and move the conversation forward. You will be graded on the quality of your postings including mastery of the concept as well as critical thinking. If asked for your opinion do not simply state that it is a good or bad idea; elaborate on your reasons and argument. Include enough detail to substantiate your thinking as well as your position on the questions or comments.
