The facilitator will assign each student one of the following organizations. (Note: If you do not have access to the for-fee sites, you will be assigned one of the free sites.)
\nFree sites = this is the one :<\/p>\n
assigned to Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council http:\/\/www.phc4.org\/<\/p>\n
For fee sites
\nCare Scout http:\/\/web.carescout.com\/carescoutsite\/
\nHealthGrades http:\/\/www.healthgrades.com\/
\nResearch the organization assigned to you. Write a report about the organization including the following:
\nDescribe the ownership and structure of the organization, such as public or private, and the scope of services provided.
\nList and describe the types of healthcare facilities and services that are evaluated.
\nExplain the criteria or methodology utilized to measure quality or performance.
\nDescribe the intended audience for the quality reports. Is there a fee to view the reports? Is the Web site the only method of accessing this material?
\nAssess the validity or reliability of this service. If there is any difficulty in assessing, comment on it.
\nDescribe your overall impression of the organization, the service, and the usefulness of the Web site. Does your impression change if you think from the perspective of a consumer instead of a provider?
