Issues of healthcare reform remain at the top of the list in most current policy debates. Some are demanding a more socialist approach to healthcare, while others are demanding that the government take a “hands-off” approach. The healthcare systems of the past directed decision making, work processes, and structure. Newer models are based on social values, and are rooted in the idea that every citizen should be provided basic access to health care services. The purpose of this assignment is to promote awareness of the basic health care system payee models so that the professional nurse is better able to provide informed health care information to his or her consumers.
