looking at mortality rates in patients seeking emergency care conclude that the rate of death is substantially higher during times of crowding (Richardson, 2006, p. 213).

The present document is a summary of the executive interview held at Midtown Imaging building located at 5405 Okeechobee Boulevard suite 101, West Palm Beach, FL 33417, on December 8, 2016 from 2:45 to 3:45 PM between Ernst Pierre, the Northwood student and Mr. Alan M. Levine, RT (R) ARRT, Midtown Imaging department manager of Good Samaritan Medical center. The latter, a 333-bed hospital in West Palm Beach is owned by the Tenet Health, which is a healthcare services company that operates 79 hospitals, 20 short-stay surgical hospitals and 470 out-patient centers in the United States, and 9 facilities in the United Kingdom. Tenet Health has more than 130, 000 employees and more than 20,000 beds. The company collaborates with other healthcare services companies such as Conifer Health Solutions and United Surgical Partners International in order to enhance healthcare solutions throughout the care chain.

The majority of fatal injuries sustained by EMTs and paramedics are happening on the way to render critical triage care. “From 1992 to 1997, there were an estimated 114 fatalities to emergency medical services (EMS) workers. Primary causes of these fatalities were ground transportation and air medical crashes.” (Reichard et al 511). More recently those numbers have dropped but the fatalities of EMTs and paramedics are still consistently

It is evident that the majority of all healthcare workers do not see help for traumatic situations. It is my belief that there is a stigma attached to seeking help. There are very few people that are capable of understanding another coworker that has just been rattled by a very upsetting situation.

With its 1,107 beds, Florida Hospital Orlando is recognized for its cardiovascular, gastroenterology, and other departments. They want to provide a world class care services to patients and family members. At Florida Hospital they believe there is an association

The Global Health Crisis is a major problem in our world today that could lead to many other issues in our global economy and political systems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 36 million people die every year due to diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and out of the 36 million people about 6 million children die under the age of 5 because of diseases. Everyday, many families have to go through the most miserable time in their lives, seeing a loved one pass away. In the United States, many have been able to get access to healthcare through the Affordable Care Act. However, in many countries throughout the world, hospitals and doctors are very limited at extremely high expenses.

Are exposed to a lot of hospital equipment and hospital procedures. The longer the stay in intensive care, the higher the risk.

Today’s healthcare focus is on providing patient-centered, safe and effective care for improved patient outcomes. This focus is not only important for the patient’s health, but has become vital for the financial well-being of healthcare organizations. The United States has consistently ranked among the highest in healthcare costs and the lowest in improving patient outcomes when compared to other industrialized nations (Davis, Stremikis, Squires, & Schoen, 2014). There are multiple national organizations and initiatives designed to improve the state of healthcare in the U.S. and this topic is often debated at all levels

Prehospital care systems are crucial to delivering timely trauma care and curbing the high burden of injury globally. Timely access to care is a predictor of injury morbidity and mortality [5–7].About 54% of all injury deaths in LMICs are attributable to lack of prehospital care [8]. Among injured patients studied in India, 30% of on-scene deaths and 80% of deaths that occur within the first hour of injury are due to lack of medical attention [9,10]. Because prehospital trauma care systems reduce mortality rates in LMICs, the World Health Organization (WHO) promotes the development of basic trauma care systems, including prehospital trauma care, as a solution to the existing

The first aspect of this analysis was to determine the catalyst of the program. There were two directly related catalysts. The first was the large quantities of surgery performed annually within the global health care system. The article stated that 234 million operations are performed globally each year. The second catalyst was the associated rates of morbidity and mortality accompanying the large quantity of surgeries. The article clearly revealed the impact of high morbidity and mortality, demonstrating a significant need for change.

In the final project, students will apply the knowledge gained in this course to a case example.

Out of curiosity, have you been seeing a higher traffic flow of patients? If so, do you see your couches and patient beds, staff rooms and patient room furnishings needing replaced more often? What about your vinyl fabrics, do you see any issues with vinyl's cracking?

The regulatory requirements and their effect on design and equipment in the renovation of the Neighborhood Family Clinic are the environmental regulations on both the federal and state levels regarding the renovation, expansion, equipment, design, and operation of the facility (www.eesolutions.net, n. d.). Per the Facility Guidelines and The American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Health the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities are updated every four years. Subsequently, once the decision to renovate or start new construction is reached the building committee must be aware that these guidelines set the minimum standards for American health care facility designs and give design and health care professionals guidance on emerging trends and good practices (www.eesolutions.net, n. d.). When

A forty bed specialty hospital began as the areas first free standing surgery center specializing in same day surgery. In 1994 physician founders set out to build a hospital to accommodate the needs of the community. The physicians created the center in attempt to remove the stress from the surgical experience for patients and their families.
