he research focuses on the creation of sustainable and efficient healthcare systems. Various concepts have been highlighted as influential regarding the attainment of sustainable healthcare. This paper entails a peer review of the presentation analyzing the research concepts, the presenter’s arguments.

While policymakers look at changes in payment systems as a way of obtaining sustainability, physicians must be consulted in identifying appropriate strategies (Kessels, Van Herck, Dancet,  Annemans,&Sermeus, 2015). Consequently, policies designed to change healthcare from illness to wellness-oriented are revealed to increase primary health care. The concept of private and public care is also discussed at length, whereby many countries identify health care as a priority. The high cost of health care has pushed states into embracing the concept of universal healthcare as a more sustainable model of care. Further, health care is viewed as a shared responsibility between the governments, individuals and employers. Notably, universal healthcare has various advantages, including the reduction in the cost of health care, as well as administrative expenses. Ideally, the attainment of efficient and sustainable public health demands that healthcare strategies be regarded as partnerships between the governments, insurance companies and private providers (Auerbach, 2015).

Evaluation of concepts discussed

Various concepts about health care and healthcare systems have been discussed in the presentation. Among them is the issue of quality and cost of health care. The author has emphasized on the high cost associated with the provision of health. Different perspectives have been observed regarding the cost and quality of care. The various governments feel the high costs as they allocate large percentages of their budgets. Resultantly, nations are viewing a universal approach towards healthcare provision as a better alternative (Auerbach, 2015). The presentation effectively summarizes the issue of universal healthcare by looking at its benefits and limitations. It also shows how the different concepts are related with universal health care coming in as a solution for the acquisition of sustainability in care provision in terms of both the quality of care and the reimbursement to the provider. Consequently, it calls for managers in healthcare provision and funding to be flexible enough to provide quality care but at costs that they can sustain. Policymakers are encouraged to consider improvements in socioeconomic statuses, as well as the reduction of health care inequalities as a cost-effective approach towards the attainment of public health

Analysis of presenter’s argument

The presentation shows strong familiarity with the concepts discussed from the presenter’s perspective. The interpretation of various issues and discussion is detailed, for instance, the emphasis on healthcare being viewed as a partnership. Accordingly, multiple parties, including the government, insurance companies and private providers, should work together to establish sustainable healthcare systems (Groebe, 2015). Furthermore, the presenter tends to compare health care systems and statistics from different countries hence affirming the main argument. Additionally, the presentation looks into the issues from a legal perspective with the presenter explaining about the Patient Protection and Affordable Health care Act and how collaboration between physicians and policymakers is important in healthcare provision (Rocco, 2015). On the issue of universal health, the presenter has shown how its cost-effectiveness can boost various economies while also enhance the health of the populations. The presentation has further recommended that policymakers should also incorporate socioeconomic solutions to public health care challenges.
