Health Care Case Study

The Veterans Administration Medical Center (VA) hospital system has been in the national headlines for many years. This has generally not been in a positive way. Many issues have tarnished the reputation of the VA system including, in the distant past questions on sterilization issues reportedly resulting in veterans contracting Hepatitis C from a colonoscope (Tasker, 2011), to more current issues with access and timeliness of care for veterans ("Memo shows VA gaming appointments system to hide wait times", 2014; "Nearly 100 patients died waiting for care from los angeles VA", 2017).

The US health care delivery system lacks a national program to ensure a universal health insurance coverage in comparison with other industrialized countries. Although government has increased financial contribution to the health sector but the extension of coverage is not increased, rather it is used in advanced technology and to increase the volume of services. Limits on the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates, increasing dependency on private sector insurance plans on different types of managed care, organizational constraints on health care service decisions, attention to medical devices and equipment are basically changing the practice health care service and service

Being told that your cholesterol is high is not the greatest news you can receive from your doctor. You think that you are healthy and in otherwise great shape and then you realize your not. High cholesterol, specifically low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), is linked to an increased risk for heart attack, heart disease and stroke. The cholesterol builds up in the arteries and narrows the pathway making it harder for the blood to flow through. It is important for people with elevated cholesterol to make lifestyle changes. Increasing physical activity and eating a more nutritious diet are just two ways to lower cholesterol levels and can maintain that healthy level too.

The term quality in the healthcare setting is well studied (Sheps, 1955; Donabedian 1966, 1988, 1990, Campbell et al., 2000) just as the need to increase the level of it (IOM, 2001; Kelley & Hurst, 2006). In a similar manner, Participants associated eHealth with increased level of care quality due to many factors. A commonly emerging theme related to this was the online access or access to information from distance, which was previously noted by Fernández-Luque, (2015) or Chang & Chang (2008). This finding contained two additional interesting dimensions, which are a bit in contradiction. Participant 4. and Participant 8. mentioned the experience of accessing patient information out-of-office hours (e.g. from home). On the contrary Participant

Healthcare.gov is one of the most amazing idea, a propellor to solve many of healthcare’s current problems in the US. The number of uninsured people were rising and led to the overall increase of prices for healthcare. To provide everyone with healthcare the only solution was to increase the insured population. The health insurance exchange (HIX) which was healthcare.gov biggest task was to create a market place to facilitate a free market economy for the health insurance sector. This would enable price transparency - which is usually absent in healthcare, reduced cost - due to the savings in advertising, marketing and time for everyone, and greater access to healthcare insurance. Apart from these there were also certain

This can be a controversial solution simply because it means more red tape and governmental regulation for several different parties. Neither the healthcare facility or the suppliers will be happy with the new law that only a certain amount of markup can exist. As mentioned, if the hospital is charging more than necessary, they will be losing revenue. If the supplier is the one marking it up, they will lose revenue. Either way, someone will be losing revenue and the new regulation will most likely be fought. Despite the frustration and possible criticism the new regulation will create, it is something that seems necessary in order to make healthcare more affordable for every party involved.
