HCA 305 Week 1 DQ 1 Cost, Quality, and Access
  Cost, Quality, and Access. Sultz and Young
(2011) note that there is currently a strong
movement within the U.S. health care system to
address the seemingly unresolvable need to
correct problems of access and cost without
compromising the quality of care (pg. 1). After
viewing the required video Reinventing
Healthcare-A Fred Friendly Seminar, discuss how
one of the cases presented during the seminar is
an example of the tension between cost, access,
and quality. Highlight what you consider to be
the biggest problem inherent in the system.

system has had a number of issues arise related

numerous medical malpractice cases, low patient
satisfaction ratings, and a warning from the

hospital, to improve the quality or risk losing
its accreditation.
