Module 2 – Case
Inpatient, Outpatient, and Ancillary Services
Assignment Overview
At some point in your professional career, you may work within or alongside inpatient and outpatient settings.
Working in these settings can be similar to working in two completely different “health care worlds.” What
exactly are the differences between outpatient and inpatient medicine? Fundamentally, inpatient means checking
into the hospital or care facility, while outpatient defines health care that can be administered without staying at
the hospital. However, what has been prescribed above is the most basic terms of outpatient and inpatient
services.
Case Assignment
Use the online library, required reading, and other resources to research and develop a more complete
appreciation of the inpatient and outpatient settings. References should be no more than 5 years old. Websites
should only be from reliable sources ( only acceptable when accessing government sites).
Based on your findings, write a graduate-level comparative analysis of inpatient and outpatient services that
clearly addresses the following:
• Identify and describe inpatient settings and outpatient settings. 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?
Length: 3-4 pages, not including the title or reference page(s).
