Provide and explain at least two examples for each setting (e.g., Ambulatory Surgery Center vs. Rehabilitation Center). – Classify the typical services provided and key personnel between inpatient settings and outpatient settings. – Identify, describe, and evaluate a trend that is currently impacting inpatient and outpatient settings. These can be trends related to technology, supply and demand, political climate, regulatory, demographic changes, or patient care. – Analyze the trends, and thinking as a health care administrator, how do you capitalize on these trends to improve operation and bottom-line performance? How can you mitigate the negative impact of the trends?
