In the New Yorker medical report, The Hot Spotters, 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 to 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 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 needs 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
