The Association for Patient Experience (AfPE) works with different health care professionals together in order to improve patient care throughout the whole health care system (Association for Patient Experience, 2014). They support researches and also provide education and guidance to health care providers through webinars (Association for Patient Experience, 2014). AfPE also researches and analyses different studies about correct and quality practice and post it on their website to provide information to other health care providers so they can also implement it during their practice. For example, they posted a practice that Cleveland Clinic team developed in order to improve patient-care provider communication about medication they are taking.

In Canada, Terry Fox is always suggested to be a hero who offered by way of clues to a Canadian cultural identity. Terry Fox is a famous Canadian athlete and cancer research activist. In 1980, his efforts for embarking on a cross-Canada run to make people recognize the importance of cancer research, with one of his legs amputated, successfully influenced and engaged millions of people. Terry Fox quotes that to him, being famous himself is not the idea of the run, while the only important part for him is the Marathon of Hope. (1980) In this essay, I am going to analyze the heroism, nationalism and identity that Terry Fox brings to Canadian history.

Seems like American Health Alliance is doing a great job coordinating their care to manage chronic conditions. When care is more organized with coordination with providers in delivering quality care, the medical outcome is usually successful with good patient experience. This encourages the patient to seek additional care when needed and to follow their treatment plan with a goal of achieving a healthier lifestyle.
ACOs provide high-quality care to their patients and reduce cost by avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. ACOs may involve a variety of provider configurations, it can range from integrated delivery systems and primary care medical groups to hospital-based systems and virtual networks of physicians such as independent practice associations (McClellan et al, 2010).
The term, Accountable-Care Organization (ACO) is a model that consists of a “group of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, specialists, and hospitals who agree to take on a shared responsibility/partnership for the care of a defined population of patients while assuring active management of both the quality and cost of that care” (Foster, et. al, 2012). The overall goal of the ACO is to “reduce costs through preventative care and disease management, improve quality of care through multidisciplinary medical professionals, and develop the necessary skills and resources to meet the costs and quality of healthcare goals in the present and future of patient care” (Accountable Care Facts, 2012). Not to mention, patient care
The Accountable Care Collaborative is Health First Colorado’s program that is the primary resource to provide enhanced coordinated care. The three primary goals of the ACC program are to better health, improve the experience of both the providers and the ACC members, and to contain costs. The ACC connects primary care medical providers (PCMPs), the statewide data and analytics contractor (SDAC) and the Regional Care Collaborative Organizations
The role of an APRN is to create and advocate direct comprehensive care, support system to educate research and result oriented care. APRN has certain amount of liberty to steer the programs in such a way to establish professional collaboration through their independent practices through their professional leadership.
This paper will discuss what the Accountable Care Organization is, why did Congress include it in their law, benefits and challenges for physicians and patients, and how does the ACO work for patients. We will also identify the quantitative methods in the ACO and reflect on the information provided.
In the program, I anticipate learning new theories and concepts as it pertains to the role of the ARNP while incorporating other health care professionals in delivering optimal patient centered care. It is paramount for ARNP’s to expand on theories and current bodies of research to be able to deliver optimal health care to their patients while addressing their unique health concerns. Incorporating evidence based practice into the clinical setting provides new researched treatment modalities and possible flexibility in treatment while also helping to contribute in setting quality control measurements.
Kaiser Health News recently published an article on a new trend in healthcare. This trend introduces the Accountable Care Organization (ACO). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services defines it as “groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients” (“Accountable Care Organization,” 2015). According to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the goal of the ACO is to be able to share health cost-savings with providers who are able to save money by eliminating unnecessary procedures and reduce health costs while increasing quality of care. ACOs make health professionals become more accountable in maintaining good-quality, coordinated healthcare for a patient through a value-based system that is evaluated through a number of criteria and benchmarks (Ronai, 2011).
Specifically, the AHCPII is meant to improve Arkansas’s health system through three approaches: patient centered medical homes, health homes, and episodes of care.
This vision has led many to take healthcare to a new levels in America. The Accountable Care Organization ACO shareholders provide a model of healthcare where value becomes more noticeable, not focusing on personal gain everyone is focusing on the patient health with a common goal. Collaboration and open communication to reach optimum ways to treat each public in a holistic way. With this new approach patient can be sure that all their health related problems will be met because everyone in the team is on the same page. Nurses can be instrumental in that category advocating on behalf of
In the past few years the American health care system has changed in many ways. First there was the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which is a law that is giving Americans the opportunity to obtain health care. Under this new law, in 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services decided to create Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) to help doctors, hospitals and other providers better coordinate care (AthenaHealth.com). The first idea of an Accountable Care Organization was brought up in 2006 by Elliot Fisher, MD, and now there are over 400 in the United States (Healthcatalyst.com). An ACO’s primary job is to improve health care delivery, performance, and payment. This is done through physicians and
John 1 : 1-14 is basically the Christmas story told in a poetic way. With Christmas just around the corner I will try to explain John’s bold interpretation of Christs birth and just what that means to the human population. In class we spoke a lot about Genesis 1 and the Old Testament overall. We always drew parallels with just about everything that was said, Mount Sinai, The temple, etc... Everything is connected in some way.
