2- Incentifying Health

HCM 320 Module Four Journal Guidelines and Rubric
The Case for Incentivising Health is based on Australian data, but the challenges of combating chronic disease there are similar to the challenges present in the
United States. Read the case carefully and consider the list of main considerations those working in the preventative health space could think about when
developing programs, policies or interventions to change behaviors listed on page five. Address the following questions:
 Which of these cues do you consider to have the most impact in terms of changing healthcare behaviors of the patient?
 Which of these cues would you most readily respond to as a patient?
 Which cues do you think are most likely to be adopted by providers and insurance companies?
Support your responses with examples from your own experience, the case, or references to the textbook or other scholarly sources.
Use the journal as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the final project requirements and case study. Journal activities in this course are private between
you and your instructor. Only the instructor can view and comment on your assignments.
