Comprehensive Report on Global Staffing Strategies

Globalization in healthcare is a topic that has been the subject of many debates worldwide. While practically the entire world is becoming a global village due to globalization, the healthcare industry was considered to be invulnerable to this trend. This was attributed to the fact that healthcare is a service industry, where service is delivered on area of purchase. However many developments not only in the healthcare industry but in the entire economical sphere as a whole have seen the aspects of globalization. As a result globalization in the healthcare industry is a common phenomenon in the contemporary world. As the healthcare industry across global boundaries becomes increasingly intertwined,

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the differences between the healthcare in East Asia and the United States. The paper will discuss government programs that each country offers its citizens, how certain countries have taken preventative measures for its people and how the health of people in Asian countries versus the U.S differs and some possible explanations for why this may occur. This paper will discuss many different countries because Asia has many developing countries and no country in Asia has developed at the same rate. Healthcare spending will be looked at in Asian countries and the U.S to see the differences in spending and how more or less spending benefits the population. Healthcare is a huge part of the world’s economy and as certain population age, like the U.S’s and Japan’s it will be up to the governments to decide how to deal with the aging population and how to ensure that the healthcare industry does not become a bubble. As the population ages, there will be a bigger demand for healthcare and programs to support the elderly. This is a problem that the United States will have to deal with by 2030 because all the baby boomers will be over the age of 65 by then and they will have their hands out for government programs that support them for healthcare. This essay will look at other countries and how they have handled the increasing demand for healthcare. The United States has only recently made healthcare affordably accessible to everyone, and still

Even with costs under the current health care system skyrocketing, the system is envied by other countries in several ways. The United States is the world leader in innovation and research of health services (Mango & Riefberg). Another aspect that America has that is enviable is that “health care services and technology are more readily accessible to the insured patients in the United States than anywhere else” (Mango & Riefberg). A Final reason for the envy of the United States health care system is that when medical travelers – those who travel for medical operations or treatments – approximately forty percent travel to the

According to Advance Staffing Solutions, “to be effective in hiring practices involves delving into the background of applicants to get a better idea of their abilities and employment performance. However, this has to be measured with respect for the privacy of each individual candidate as well as staying compliant with relevant laws.

Where Has All The Staff Gone? Strategies to Recruit and Retain Quality Staff by Helen M. Hauff explores the dangerous shortage of nurses in healthcare. The shortage of nurses today has challenged and tested many human resources departments, forcing many directors to “think outside of the box” and look at different strategies for recruitment and retention. According to Hauff, the average recruitment costs per nurse can exceed $100,000 and the supply of nurses needs to increase by 9% a year just to keep up with demand (Hauff, 2007). Many health care systems and specialty clinics have tried to lure registered nurses and nurse practitioners with higher salaries and better benefits. The competition for quality staff has come with a price, staff turnover results in extra costs for recruiting and retraining employees. Hauff, a certified transplant nurse naturally focuses on the staff shortages in her specialty. The shortage of certified transplant nurses is critical, and according to Hauff many health care systems are closing down transplant units due to staff shortages and rising costs. Although Hauff tends to focus on solving the problems with transplant specialists, the same recommendations she outlines can be applied to any health care specialty.

As the health care administrator, responsible for staffing levels I will conduct and analysis to determine the number staff members required for each department to run efficiently. Upon completion, each employee will be assigned to 8-hour shifts five days per week. Since there will be adequate coverage for each shift that will eliminate the need to have people working over-time which will be a cost saving measure. Now that the staffing levels are ideal this allows patients to receive the necessary medical care which will increase their satisfaction with the health care organization. By having each person working a standard work week without having to do overtime to meet the needs of the department will reduce stress and the possibility of them

As the director of human resources in a privately-held, mid-sized engineering and manufacturing firm, one of the most important roles is to develop a comprehensive staffing plan. The staffing plan for this organization should provide details about the strategies to recruit, hire and provide on-boarding activities for 20 new engineers within eight months. The preparation of the comprehensive staffing plan for this firm would require critical consideration because of the location of the company. The engineering and manufacturing organization is situated in a southwestern city with larger than average percentage of individuals receiving several forms of public assistance. In addition to having a school system that is ranked as one of the lowest across the country, the southwestern city has a lower than average number of college graduates. These statistics regarding the city makes the preparation of a staffing plan to be a process that requires critical consideration.

Moreover, the introduction of the Medicare and Medicaid insurance programs, regulatory oversight by the Food and Drug Administration, and state licensure boards have impacted the whole healthcare industry (Fortenberry & Fortenberry, 2010).

Financial burden is a major barrier for most healthcare organizations. There are many factors forcing administration to find cost-effective solutions through innovate and technological advances. One way to improve financial burden is proper staffing. An effective way to improve staffing issues is through a float pool system which is proven to help improve understaffing (Larson, Sendelbach, Missal, Fliss, & Gillard, 2012). Float pool is considered a flexible resource option and can improve unit staffing in a health care organization (Larson et al., 2012). Using these type of innovate staffing models can reduce the financial burden. I believe creating a culture that accepts the challenge of change is very important. This can

At this particular stage, it is impossible for governmental entities to effectively regulate each and every instance of health care service. This facet is particularly true for cases of international health care services. There are several different types of health care services provided for international travelers. The lack of effective regulation of these services can actually aid a number of different consumers in different ways.

The desire to save money can be a big concern for the medical tourist. A patient may not deem it feasible to travel abroad for only a $300 savings on a medical service. It is estimated that less than 10% of patients will travel abroad to save $500 to $1,000 and about 10% would travel abroad to save $1,000 to $2,400 (Herrick 2007, p. 5). It is estimated that more than 30% of uninsured patients will travel abroad to save over $10,000 (Herrick 2007, p. 5). Research states that cost fluctuates in regards to medical services provided based on the country. Herrick (2007) states, “medical care in Panama is 40 - 70% less expensive than in the United states” (p. 6). This large
