In the New Yorker medical report, The Hot Spotters: Can We Lower Medical Costs by Giving the Neediest Patients Better Care? Links to an external site., Dr. Jeffrey Brenner reports that nearly half the population in the city of Camden is seen in the emergency department of local hospitals. High crime, low-income families, lack of integration with local policing activities, poor city leadership, and problematic access to good healthcare are among the problems noted here. Imagine that you are a senior strategic advisor to the CEO of one of the city hospitals in Camden. Would you recommend using a hot spot strategy for your CEO? Why or why not? Be sure to include scholarly references and answers to all of the following questions in your summary and analysis:
· Discuss the idea of isolating hot spots as a strategy for improving costs, quality, and access to care.
· Why do patients seek treatment through the emergency department?
· What did Dr. Brenner learn from the community policing approach that helped inform his strategy for better serving the community?
· Why would a city hospital in Camden be interested in Dr. Brenner’s idea? Be sure to consider the data and information needed to fully adopt a hot spot approach and the community’s role.
· Suppose Dr. Brenner’s model could improve access and quality, but wound up costing more than expected to administer. Would you still recommend a hot spot approach? Why or why not? Be sure to discuss the concept of Loss Leader in your analysis.
