This is a Part 1 and Part 2 assignment. I’ve already completed Part 1, Please complete Part 2.
Part 1: If you were to incentivize patients to be better consumers of health care, describe different options for redesigning health care.
My Response: To incentivize patients to be better consumers of healthcare, I would refer to such redesigning health care options as digitalization of services, arrangement of regular education initiatives, and inclusion of unique partnership propositions into the patient’s service package. Concerning digitalization, high-quality websites and similar designs of facilities’ pages on Facebook and Instagram will surely attract patients to check available options and propositions more often and make reposts to share their experience with others (Gurrieri et al., 2019; Isika et al., 2020). Lively and interesting content such as stories from the life of the clinic, useful advice from qualified doctors, as well as profiles of specialists and offices will surely make potential customers-patients more involved and interested in using the healthcare sphere.
Plus, the option of arranging an appointment at a convenient time online represents one of the key ones to upgrade and re-energize the redesigning process. Concerning the regular education initiatives, the healthcare specialists of all spheres could enrich the design of their regular activities with the special educational sessions and seminars called to elevate the knowledge of awareness of current and potential patients on certain health issues relevant at the time. The more convincing the materials and presented argument, the higher the chances that the attendees’ interest and attitude to their health will evolve (Nedjat-Haiem et al., 2019; Bird et al., 2019). In this regard, the principle of patient’s personal responsibility for the prevention of hard forms of illness should be posed as the core of all the educational initiatives.
As for partnership propositions to include into the patient’s package, the ones suggest “encouragement” for the person to use extra medical assessment propositions. In return, they receive an incentive in the face of a special voucher to visit beauty salons, sports clubs, or local swimming pools (Szromek et al., 2019). Such positive opportunities that enhance physical and mental health will surely make patients more diligent consumers of the healthcare services.

Part 2: Respond to another student’s response in regards to Part 1.
Respond in first person, like you were having a face to face conversation with them and it shouldn’t be a critique about their sentence structure but about the actual content of what they wrote and its relevance to Part 1.
Respond to Naisa Ki below: As policies change, patients steer away from receiving healthcare. When I worked at a clinic, I noticed that many patients did not understand their insurance plan (costs, coverage, etc.). Empowering patients is good approach to incentivizing patients to receive healthcare. Patients “are increasingly prepared to interact with the medical industry as consumers” instead of patients (Heath, 2018). With this in mind, it is important to change healthcare policies to reflect this. Emphasizing patient autonomy can make a big difference. If a patient feels they have choices, they are more likely to return knowing what services they will receive. Having medical professionals treat patients as consumers can change the attitudes of patients when visiting their healthcare provider. Patients should be able to see patient satisfaction and cost transparency to help them make a decision on where to go for their healthcare. Additionally, showing patients where they can access their personal medical information can help them understand and witness their progress.
