health care services (health promotion and maintenance, illness prevention,
diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation and long-term care). Which have you
or a family member used? Which ones might have been more useful and why?

agency/system and do the following: determine how the agency is classified
(e.g., public, voluntary, for-profit, not-for-profit), obtain a copy of the
organizational chart, identify to whom the chief nurse executive (CNE) reports
and who reports to the CNE, and describe the types of health services provided.

Research one or two health care agencies
and find out what economic measures they are using to decrease health care
costs. Present their findings along with a new idea that is not found in the
text.
