Topic 1: Disease Process

Write an imaginary case study for your hypothetical patient. (Arthritis)

1. Explain how the patient moved through the healthcare delivery system.
2. With respect to the costs you calculated last week, describe how the patient will pay for the cost of treatment.
3. Analyze the healthcare delivery system as illustrated in this case. What problems did you notice? Would some people find it difficult to pay for treatment? Are there areas where treatment for this illness is unavailable or unaffordable to the common person?
4. Provide an overall conclusion for the work that you have done in this project.
