Alliance Healthcare Services: A Case Study

The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) accredits more organizations than any other accrediting agency does and organizations that receive the AAAHC accreditation signify confidence to their patients that they are receiving safe and quality service, as organizations that voluntarily participate as members in the AAAHC endure on-going self-evaluations, peer reviews and education that ensures all quality and safety measures exist within the organization (AAAHC, 2017). At least every three years (depending on organization could be 6 months, 1 year, or 3 years), surveyors, who are themselves health care professionals perform surveys on accredited organizations, which involve a wide range of issues such as patient

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) like any other organization need funding. Organizations cannot function without financing. They must be funded in some way to continue operation to support employees and practice. ACOs can be funded in two different ways, internally or externally. This means funding is coming from the organization itself or from an outside investment.

Additional ways to increase awareness of stigmatization, along with advocating the mental health role addressing to stigmatic issues, include the following: Formal or informal discussion on the stigmatic issues with co-workers within the healthcare field, which includes the sharing of information with all human service providers (i.e., not limited to mental health care provider). This may help promote the delivery of healthcare services that are more client-centered, along with potentially creating a stronger relationship between the interdisciplinary healthcare team; Blogs and forums can be created; Advocacy and leadership groups could be formed and participated to discuss stigmatic issues. This will lead

The health care system in US is the topic of much debate. There have been many surveys done on patient satisfactions and the efficiency of health care provided by the doctors. One common finding is that we have a long way to go if we want all our citizens to get quality health care services. Here, we will see how United Healthcare which is one of the largest health care groups in the US is working towards that goal.

Once you have determined the target area(s) in which you want to focus, Sector One Healthcare Group performs a multi-dimensional financial analysis of starting up, expanding, merging, acquiring, purchasing a medical practice, or developing a business partnership.

The United Healthcare offers many benefit with Cost Estimator of qualified facilities within your location. The qualified facilities meet the insurance quality of care guidelines for overall care of their patients. Basically United Healthcare Insurance offers not only nearby locations but qualified care.

While participation may have a positive impact to both individuals and service providers, there are barriers that hinder full participation and progression. Barriers can range from physical, social, organisational and structural, just to mention a few. A general overview shows that people with physical and mental disabilities or progressive chronic illnesses are the most targeted and isolated in the community due to stigma. This is supported in Adams, et al (2002, p290) stating in part that:

For this observation, I tried to look up the relationship between supplier and offices. From 2012 to 2015, top 10 suppliers generated $63216036878.69 dollars in total (Table 2.1). Based on the table 2.2, Department of Health Care Services spent $83590661471.67 dollars on Purchasing 529 items in total (Table 2.2 and Chart2.2). The thing is, most of the top 10 supplier’s revenue were contributed from Department of Health Care Services in 529 transactions. In contrast, Department of Health Care Services only spent $97463543.55 in other 20094 transactions between 2012 and 2015 (Table2.3). Based on the information, I will recommend the Department of Health Care Services to use state credit card or online banking for making purchases in the

Healthcare is definitely changing due to technology and social needs. Latest technologies are used on patients to manage their chronic diseases. One can say healthcare today is all about money. According to Dossey, Selanders, Beck, Attewell (2005), one of the driving forces of international financial markets is the continually rising costs of health care in general and nursing care in particular. Nowadays, patients are called customers. They are the source of income for health care organizations. An agreement can be made that length of stay for patients in hospitals are decreasing. Why is it decreasing? If patients are admitted for too long, reimbursement for health care organizations are affected.

Although I agree with the above statement, I would also argue that there is a significant correlation between providing topnotch clinical and wellness services and a health care organization financial bottom line. For example, this correlation becomes more significant when referring to the numbers of wellness program or services a health care organization is able to provide. There is no dispute that services cost money, therefore, healthcare organizations that want to offer more services or improve healthcare delivery through state of the art technology, need to generate a profit margin that allows for that.

Whether or not a worker is able to seek treatment will influence their quality of work until treatment is sought. Social workers are both contributors and recipients of stigma regarding mental illness in the workplace (Manthorpe, Stanley, & White, 2007). How can a profession that aims to assist and empower those they serve continue to stigmatize the very people they employ?

"An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.(Covey,2011)." Financial management within an organization is crucial to the success and stability of the organization. Financial information on Patten Fuller Hospital will be covered in this paper. More specifically, difference between audited and unaudited statements and reporting on the hospital 's ratios will be included. Finally, information related to the relationship on revenue sources and expenses which included how the hospital revenues and expenses are grouped for planning and control will be included.

There comes a time in every organization when certain ineffectiveness and inefficiencies disrupts business operations. These ineffectiveness and inefficiencies cause companies to suffer in the quality of service, products, reputation and ultimately, profits. In today’s economy, companies of all sizes and industry need to continuously be improving their way of operating their business in effort to remain competitive in today’s market place.

Every year, more and more schools offer stays abroad. However, most schools’ health insurance plans limit foreign health services. Even emergency care is rarely properly covered. While there are health insurance plans in the individual market for travel purposes, these plans are not regulated by the Affordable Care Act and health insurance minimums requirements are not guaranteed. Students are once again forced to use the individual market.
