Discussion #1:

A.) Social Determinants of Health -OR- B.) Health Systems Building Blocks

(Please select only one of the topics above to address in your Discussion #1 assignment, and
follow the instructions for your chosen topic below. Also, in the subject line of your original

discussion post, please type your selection.)

Part 1: Original Post

A.) Social Determinants of Health

Social determinants of health can be the entry way into a health care system for various
members of a population. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “these
are conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide
range of health risks and outcomes.” These outcomes may lead to health disparities
and health equity gaps. Some examples of social determinants of health include:
physical environment, socioeconomic status, and health behaviors, to name a few.

For this discussion, research the social determinants of health. What do you believe to
be the top 5 most prevalent social determinants of health in your community (you
define “community”)? Clearly list them in your discussion. How did they become
prevalent? What or who caused it? In your opinion, how does the future look? Will
things improve/change? Additionally, from the standpoint of a health care administrator,
how would you take action to address the issue and provide a potential solution(s)?

This assignment encourages you to gain more knowledge about the social determinants
of health, and analyze its effects on a population and the health care system that
services this population.

Along with each social determinant please provide at least one paragraph describing
the rationale behind your decision. Describe what makes the issue significant, etc. The
discussion assignment should be a total of at least 5 paragraphs (with a 300 word
minimum and 600 word maximum). Be certain that there is at least one paragraph for
each social determinant of health. Feel free to use the course textbook and reputable
outside sources to support your work (at least two credible sources should be used).
Appropriately cite all sources using the APA 7th edition guidelines within the discussion
text, and at the bottom of the discussion (in a reference section). Also, pay close
attention to correct use of the English language, grammar and spelling.

Please post your original response directly into the discussion text box on the
discussion due date, or before. You are welcome to copy your typed answer and paste
it on the discussion post. Do not include it as an attachment.

B.) Health Systems Building Blocks

One can imagine the condition of a health care system without implementation of critical
success factors, or the basic building blocks that are necessary for a strong foundation,

continuous functioning and sustainability. For this discussion, research the health
systems building blocks using your course textbook (pgs. 6-7) the World Health
Organization (WHO) Health Systems Framework website, and any other related and
credible resource. Select 3 building blocks to further discuss in your own words.
Describe in detail why they are significant to the design of a successful health care
system, thereby positively impacting the health of a population. What are some potential
problems that might arise within a health care system when one or more of these areas
fail to properly perform? Provide specific examples. As a health care administrator, how
would you ensure the successful implementation of each? In terms of evaluating your
chosen building blocks, what criteria would be needed to perform an in-depth evaluation
of each? How would you determine whether or not these criteria were met?

This assignment encourages you to gain more knowledge about the health systems
building blocks, and analyze its effects on a population and the health care system that
services this population.

The discussion assignment should be a total of at least 3 paragraphs (with a 300 word
minimum and 600 word maximum). Be certain that there is at least one paragraph for
each health systems building block. Feel free to use the course textbook and reputable
outside sources to support your work (at least two credible sources should be used).
Appropriately cite all sources using the APA 7th edition guidelines within the discussion
text, and at the bottom of the discussion (in a reference section). Also, pay close
attention to correct use of the English language, grammar and spelling.

Please post your original response directly into the discussion text box on the
discussion due date, or before. You are welcome to copy your typed answer and paste
it on the discussion post. Do not include it as an attachment.

    MBA 580 Organization Overview   (Processes, Structure, Culture)  Your company manufactures and distributes automobiles across six continents. The structure is very  complex and it is difficult to accurately count the levels of hierarchy. The company operates under a tall  matrixed structure design.   Tall structures can be cumbersome, and decision makers are often those farthest from the customer.  Communication can be slow and difficult, also slowing down decision­making speed. The specialized  functions and organizations, often referred to as centers of excellence or centers of expertise (COE),  allow for deep knowledge and expertise. Your company has many functional COEs where increased  structure, governance, and control allow for resource and process efficiencies. Resources are  centralized, reducing duplication of effort across the organization. These efficiencies can, however,  result in rigid, inflexible processes. In addition, COEs can create functional silos or reduced cross­ functional coordination and lack of connectedness, where each function is striving toward its own  unique objectives.  Your company follows a centralized and standardized approach where enterprise­wide decisions are  often made centrally and at the top of the hierarchy. This centralization makes it easier to implement  common policies and practices, prevents parts of the organization from becoming too independent, and  capitalizes on specialization.  Matrixed organizations are often associated with this specialized COE structure. Rather than having  permanent cross­functional teams or organizations working on specific projects or product launches,  matrixed organizations pull teams together from the various functional departments. Specialists are  pulled from functional areas to work on a specific project or product design. In essence, they report to  two managers at the same time and may work on multiple projects simultaneously. Although the project  manager, who is on the same leadership level as the functional vice president (VP), supervises the  project, the true management authority still resides with the VP.  Specialists supporting specific product launches generally remain “seated” with their functional team but meet regularly with their product team to advance the project. They may be fully dedicated to the  project or still work on other unrelated projects.  Finally, product teams are pulled together at the enterprise level and are not region­specific. Although  they may produce differentiated projects for unique regions, their primary focus is on enterprise­wide  initiatives.
