Identify the system foundations, system resources,
system processes, system outcomes, and system outlook in two actual personal experiences with the health
care system (refer to the table of contents to help understand which components we have studied fit under
system foundations, system resources, etc…). For example, how did you observe the concepts from this
course when obtaining your influenza vaccination, enrolling in health insurance, or visiting a grandparent in the
hospital or skilled nursing facility? (Highly detailed and realistic authentic fiction scenarios may be used instead
if the student does not have or does not wish to share actual experiences.)
Second, the student will reflect on how their understanding of the delivery of health care in America have
changed since beginning the course and how it will affect them going forward. The reflection may address
areas of new knowledge or changed opinions. It should conclude by indicating how that knowledge will be
used: for example, is the student considering a career in health care? Will the student use new knowledge to
advocate for specific public policies, make informed decisions when enrolling for health insurance, or to assist
family members obtaining health services?
