"In the past two decades or so, health care has been commercialized as never before, and professionalism in medicine seems to be giving way to entrepreneurialism," commented Arnold S. Relman, professor of medicine and social medicine at Harvard Medical School (Wekesser 66). This statement may have a great deal of bearing on reality. The tangled knot of insurers, physicians, drug companies, and hospitals that we call our health system are not as unselfish and focused on the patients' needs as people would like to think. Pharmaceutical companies are particularly ruthless, many of them spending millions of dollars per year to convince doctors to prescribe their drugs and to convince consumers that their specific brand of drug is needed in

In a comparative light there seems to be significant problems, or obstacles, for African-American entrepreneurs. These problems are categorized by environmental factors, opportunity factors, and issues related to capital. The purpose of this paper is to provide sociological, and economical insight to the plight of African-American entrepreneurs. There is an effort to trace the development of African-American entrepreneurship throughout American history, in the post-reconstruction era to the present, in relationship to social conditions of discrimination. Uniquely, African-American entrepreneurs are involved in the affirmation of a paradox of American ideology. African-American entrepreneurs, in

In an eerie parallel, the last eight weeks of this course have been peppered with real life experiences of the healthcare system in America. Specifically, with the treatment and care of my well insured chronically ill mother and underinsured/uninsured entrepreneurial/small business owner brother and sister and the difference in which their healthcare stories are playing out. Yet, this course has also seasoned my perspective of what to expect in the future. Which is “that the current model of healthcare delivery …is not sustainable” (Dieppe & Roe, 2015, p. 22).

In today’s complex world, business issues in the medical industry can take preference in determining the sustainability of a medical practice. One of the biggest challenges facing physicians today is not only concerned with patient

The United States can boast of being the country with the best technology in the health industry, the best expertise and also the best infrastructures. However, these services are not readily available to all due to the relative cost and mostly lack of health insurance. In some situations, the health insurance may be available but coverage is limited and with tentacles of restrictive clauses. For years these have been the measure of our healthcare system and long overdue overhaul that became eminent via the Obama Care in 2010 also known as the affordable care act. The rapidly rising health care costs over the decades have prompted the application of business practices to medicine with goals of improving the efficiency, restraining

This week’s article by Liz Welch titled, Physician, Healthy Industry discusses why our health care industry should not be run as a business. The doctor interviewed by Welch is a Boston-based physician, Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle who runs a company called Iora. He addresses the primary care experience including the coding, billing, and copays in our current health care industry. His argument is that the system should not make a physician do what they do not want to do. He states, “I’d seen 40 patients, and had to stay two hours after work to finish up notes, because that’s what these stupid systems make you do” (Welch, 2015, para. 2). Dr. Fernandopulle frustrations are with the paper pushing process that our health care system requires of all physicians, but he decides to focus on the patient and their concerns, rather than the paperwork aspect. The purpose of Dr. Fernandopulle interview was to reduce the rising health care costs and start looking at the patient closely to prevent unwanted and unnecessary emergency room visits.

In the healthcare industry, urgent care organizations are often viewed by many as a disruptor in health care. This provides an impactful advantage for the urgent care industry, meaning it is an upstart that is changing the status quo by allowing patients to access care at the time and place they choose (Kulin, 2015). In the book,Where Does It Hurt? An Entrepreneur’s Guid to Fixing Health Care (Bush & Baker, 2014), reported a few stark stats that leadership presented to investors as to why our organization needed to make the switch to a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) that could better support future patient and healthcare needs. According to Bush and Baker (2014), the United States’ dysfunctional healthcare system:

The purpose of writing this report is to show how much I have learned and experience from enrolling in BBA 220. It is also include the impression and my personal reflection about the unit itself, and also the reflection about group project. Before I start this unit, I do not understand much about entrepreneur and entrepreneurship at all. I just know that people who do business are businessmen. However, after joining this unit, my understanding toward entrepreneur become different. Entrepreneur is someone who is willing to take risk by inventing a new business that does not exist in the market or start up their own business to make profit or take benefit of an opportunity.

Taking this entrepreneur course has been the best thing I could do for myself. Not only did it grow my mindset, but it taught me how to focus and concentrate on meeting my goals. At the beginning of this semester I could not let go the negative self-image I had of myself. Since I have been able to reflect on who I am I am slowly able to let go of that past image. I now know that I am more than able to reach my goals with the proper mindset and skills. I have come a long way since the beginning of this course. At the beginning of this course we were asked what is most important in life, and when I chose myself I knew after that reflections that I was off to a great start. Putting myself first these last few months has been the best thing I

Have you ever had a miraculous idea? The kind of idea where your head keeps on spinning with intriguing questions, so many that your head might spin right off. Where to start and whose going to pay for it? Is the idea even possible to make? These are a couple of the question racing through your mind. The adrenaline is rushing through your blood steam. You want to tell everyone in the world, but in the real world there are people out their looking to steal those great ideas. Which in turn leads to secretiveness of the idea. In a sense it would be like spilling the beans on the Manhattan project.
