Feldstein (2012) indicates that the hospital is the most important institutional setting for the delivery of medical services because it represents "the largest single health care expenditure category," and it has been "the beneficiary of much federal and state legislation"
For this assignment, prepare an economic analysis brief that describes the role and impact of hospitals in the healthcare industry in the United States or abroad to demonstrate an understanding of Module 5.

Determine the performance of the hospital industry.
Apply economic models, theories, or assumptions.
Offer objective methods for attempting to predict future market behavior in response to events, trends, and cycles.
Assess economic policy recommendations for healthcare stakeholders.
Evaluate the economic health of the nation or state.
Your analysis should be thoughtful and thorough, well written, and should include:
A minimum of 15 slides (not including the title and reference slides).
Speaker's notes containing 50-100 words per slide to elaborate on the visual/text content on the slide.
Appropriate graphics, multi-media, and other visual elements to enhance the presentation delivery.
A properly formatted reference slide that conforms to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA
