Ambulatory Care Center Case Study

Health care administration is defined as the process through which a country, region, or organization mobilizes health care resources. The end goal of health care administration/management is to effectively delegate a limited set of resources (money, manpower, hours) to create an optimal result (positive health outcomes). While the broadest goal is singular across all regimes, the means to access them are divergent. In some countries, such as the United States, market based models have commercialized health care (Woolhandler, 2003). Like any other product, health care in America is to be bought and sold on the open market. While there were alternative options available for the poor and elderly (Medicaid/Medicare), health care access was determined purely by market processes (Woolhandler, 2003).

Quality of care delivery: ambulatory care facilities delivery high quality of care to their patients in more cost effective ways depending on patients conditions than hospitals because most of them are owned and operated by the physicians. Also Ambulatory care facilities provided quality, safety, and efficiency to their patients.

The clinic has been providing free services for a very long time; however, the patient volume and the complexity of the organization has increased in the recent years. The clinic no longer has as many volunteers as they used to have as when they first started their mission, and the organization has experienced some significant changes that don 't allow them to provide services for free. At this time the original founders of the clinic have stepped down from their leadership role and decided to hire a new administrator with some experience in management, to provide the board members with a proposal on how to handle this issue. The board of directors would like for the new administrator to address three areas of particular

For urgent care and ambulatory surgical centers, negotiating even a small increase in rates from a current payer or arriving at a deal with a new company can result in significantly higher profits for the period. According to WCH Service Bureau Inc, New York City's leading provider enrollment and credentialing company, established, stable medical offices can leverage the strengths of their structure and the advantages provided by their size to demonstrate to payers why they deserve a higher payout.

The latest research has found that the Patient Centered Medical Homes around the country have proven to give patients the best in care and quality for primary health care services for Medicare and Medicaid members. “Connie A.

The past decade has shown a great development in terms of strategies in delivering health care in the United States. Many of the ambulatory care centers have separated from hospital based outpatient care centers and established as major providers for planned surgical procedures. With expansion of the Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) there is a clear competition between both. ASCs are advantageous to patients in reducing their time of stay in hospital and the health care expenditure when compared to the hospital based surgeries. Although the ASCs are able to serve patients by addressing their surgical needs, there are many concerns arising due to the risks and complications from the operations handled in the physician’s office. The distance between the Emergency Room (ER) and location of ASCs is also affecting the safety issues. These ASCs primarily help the middle class families who cannot miss their work to receive monthly salaries and cannot afford to stay longer in a hospital facility as an inpatient. This is impacting the health care quality and safety. Government regulations along with facility safety measures are to be implemented to prevent such errors.

Health care organizations are motivated by social transformations that occur in their environment that affect economic, demographic and technological aspect of care and services in a positive way. More so, health system innovation process is directly linked to the degree of consistency of professional, technological, organizational, personal and social skills. The combination of this process and management will help create a valid strategic plan that will be based on measure of performance, benchmarking, and continuous improvement. Every health care organization clinical support must be consistent with the organization mission and strategic plan; which can be determined by its annual goals that are approve by the governing board.

I select ambulatory care for a new idea that I was unable to find anything close to my idea.

In today’s society, healthcare is constantly evolving and the pressure to provide high quality cost effective healthcare is in our face. In fact, several organizations and physicians are being measured in terms of their outcomes they provide to their patients, as well as, the reduction of acute care hospital admissions. A former employer sought to overcome this challenge by instituting a series of training programs.

Dr. Calinescu Cornell, as an employee of Complete Medical Care center, I believe that the health and well-being of patients is the priority in every health facility. There are many people who would like to receive medical attention but lack transportation. Due to lack of transportation, clients may not call to make appointments or miss an appointment all together. Using a courtesy vehicle will help clients who do not have any form transportation to avoid missing appointments and encourage others to schedule appointments.

As a health care management consulting group, we are developing a plan to build an ambulatory care practice that addresses Geriatric Medicine need in our community. Geriatric is a branch of medicine that deals with health problems and diseases of old adults.The population of older adults is increasing rapidly because of improved health care services, longer lifespans, and other social factors. According to CDC State of Aging and Health in America (2013), population of older adults, who are 65 years and above is expected to increase by 20% of the US population by the year 2030. Also, Medicare spending is estimated to increase to 903 billion dollars in 2030 in the US. Therefore, investment in Geriatric medicine provides an opportunity of a huge

When a loved one requires more help than either their home or hospital can provide, a nursing home can become the haven they need.

For more than 34 years, they have been providing long-term care and rehabilitation services in the area with a committed and comprehensive approach, involving physical, mental, emotional, as well as spiritual aspects.
