This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

Technology in health care has taken many forms over the years. In 1796, Edward Jenner developed the first smallpox vaccination method. A hundred years later, Wilhelm Rontgen discovered how to use x-rays for medical imaging. And in 2013, Japanese researchers grew the first human liver from stem cells. What is next?  How does one technological advance set the stage for further discoveries?

For this assignment, compose a presentation of 12-15 slides incorporating the following:

• Contrast and describe two technological advances that have positively impacted health care delivery in the United States.
• Explain how the two technological advances selected have influenced public opinion of the changing health care system in the United States.
• Provide a brief summary of both positive and negative opinions.
• Forecast how you believe these two technological advances will affect delivery and utilization of health care in the United States in the future.
• What other factors may simultaneously affect health care utilization?

You are required to use a minimum of six scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles, with citations.

Your presentation is to contain 12-15 slides, exclusive of title and reference slides, complete with speaker notes.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
