Challenges Faced With Ge Healthcare

The healthcare industry consists of many strengths and weaknesses during the improvement of patient safety, efficient operations, reduction of medical errors, and ensuring that they provide timely access to all patient information. This will have to still comply with all legal guidelines as they control costs and protect patient privacy. The adoption of advanced information technology is a popular strategy being used in the healthcare industry because it allows their weaknesses to be progressively diminished as they gain and use the opportunities necessary as an analytical tool. This would allow their capabilities to be further developed with the new technologies and processes used as they unify the adoption of IT standards. In order to stay competitive within the healthcare industry, then there must be specific actions and measures that must be taken to ensure a positive outcome. This includes external opportunities to increase the capability of the IT infrastructure in a national environment as the growth of industry standards are met in order to decrease the pressured threats of legal compliance through patient trust and the high cost of IT. The growing recognition of strategic leadership often leads to both improved financial stability and contact accessibility of the system. Some challenges that may occur within the healthcare system may cause issues in a hospital setting because of the centralized society of an organization. This is because of the different visions and

Genicon is a firm with ten years of domestic experience and some actual global success. Genicon was successful in America, but it quickly understood that it would be hard for them to have viable growth, because the health care buys medical equipment through GPOs. As a small firm it was tough to obtain a contract from GPOs since their financial arrangement encouraged them to buy equipment from big companies. Consequently, Genicon decided to go global and catch growing demand there. It became the smallest firm to sell products to European clients with the assistance of BSI. Genicon is already in over thirty international markets and is looking in particular at the rapidly emerging markets - Brazil, Russia, India and China - as potential new opportunities

The health care sector is impacted by numerous changes and challenges, such as increasing need for health care provision, changing demands from patients or rapidly evolving technologies. In the context of evolving technologies, the developments occur not only in the actual provision of the medical act, but also at the level of the complementary operations, such as health care information management.

There are many challenges that are defining the future strategic direction of health care such as information technology advancements, access to health care, maintaining a skilled workforce, proposed health care reform and legislation, and rising costs. I will look at these challenges and how an organization may adapt its direction and strategies in accordance with these challenges.

Healthcare is ever changing and anyone in the healthcare profession needs to stay up to date with the evolving technologies. The goal of most healthcare facilities is to keep patients safe, provide excellent care and keep the facilities profitable all at the same time. Organizations such as The Joint Commission have been established to ensure this happens. The Joint Commission’s mission statement is “All people always experience the safest, highest quality, best-value health care across all settings.” (Joint Commission, 2014). With the new technologies surfacing, groups are needed to ensure patient safety and monitor patient care. The demand on healthcare is growing as well as patient expectations.

The federal government has stipulated the requirements that every healthcare organization should abide by in terms of technology. These requirements are set to achieve the following;

The key issue facing GEHS today is that despite high potential growth in both the developed and developing markets traditional B2B marketing lines are slow; the buyers control the power and the end consumer (patients) sees GEHS and its competitors as “faceless” corporations and their countries health care services as lacking. End users want cheaper, better quality, and more accessible healthcare and GEHS wants to grow market share and improve reputation.

What an exciting time to become part of the health care industry! Medical research makes new discoveries to improve the quality of patient care and save lives on a daily basis. Health care reform is gaining momentum, revolutionizing the industry and requiring many administrative changes, such as the creation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Rules and standards evolved from this act provide a way to ensure your protected health information remains confidential. In this digital age, it is particularly relevant. The digital evolution impacts many areas. Digital TVs, computers, smart phones and iPods have totally changed the way we do business and enjoy entertainment. In the medical industry, the

Here at GE Healthcare we want to make healthcare easy to learn and to use for the physicians and for the patients. We are a perfect match to all of your healthcare needs. We provide a way for you to access all patient data at multiple access points at the same time. We understand that more than one person may need to view an account so our technology allows for that to be possible. We also provide our physicians with decision support tools for a more informed treatment decision. We have a base of 35,000 clinicians already using GE Healthcare’s Centricity EHR.

The activities that can be identified are physician engagement, clinical staff engagement, electronic monitoring systems and improvement infrastructure. The obstacles I see we will face are motivating the staff to comply with new policies and technology. Also, we need to ensure we are bringing a good EMR system into the organization prior switching. I believe we can overcome these obstacles by bringing trained consultant on the software to help educate the staff/physicians to help them feel more comfortable with the

The employees of GE Healthcare India would also be criticized for working for a company that sells ultrasound machines which are promoting abortion of the female child. If GE Healthcare India’s sales go down because of the whole controversy, the employees would lose their jobs.

GE Healthcare is a unit of the wider General Electric Company. It has a global orientation, employing more than 46, 000 staff committed to serving healthcare professionals and patients in over 100 countries. It is headquartered in the United Kingdom (UK)-the first GE business segment outside the United States. It has a turnover of approximately $ 17 billion. The headquarters hosts GE healthcare corporate offices as well as finance, sales, global sourcing departments, X-Ray marketing, manufacturing, design and shipping. The finance and sales departments at the headquarters handle GE Healthcare’s high level decisions, but each modality often has its own similar

Generally, the managed care system is a network provider which integrates the doctors and healthcare facilities under one system. It is thus responsible for creating the financial incentives and reducing the cost of health for client by negotiating with and by networking with health providers across the US (Kreindler, 2012). Today, the managed care organizations are found everywhere in the US but have become somewhat controversial because of their goals of controlling the medical costs which has somehow produced unethical practices. They have been accused of becoming consumer driven and therefore, profit making machine rather than delivery services to the clients. They have also been accused of charging very high fees that are unaffordable for most Americans (Goodrick & Reay, 2016).

The Omega Ultrasound System would be the best choice to green light for the Healthymagination initiative. After assessing all the potential products, we determined that the lack of concrete metrics, difficulty or uncertainty in measuring outcomes, or clinical relevance to the Healthymagination goal rendered the TEEMax, UltraLipo, and HepEcho unfit for launch. We’ve outlined justification for this decision in (Figure 1.), but we believe the Omega system provides the greatest opportunity for meeting Healthymagination standards with the best chance of obtaining definitive evidence to support the certification.

Furthermore, the mistakes like spending money on expensive technology that doesn’t fit to industry and the political behaviour in the organisation which stops the idea of working as a team in healthcare industry are needed to stop to avoid healthcare complexity.
