Analysis of the service side and business side of your healthcare experience.
The most recent experience I have as a recipient of healthcare service was for my 12 week of prenatal care appointment at the Brigham and women hospital Ob-gyn clinic located at Foxboro. The appointment was schedule for 2:00 pm and the waiting time was about 15 minutes before I got to see the provider who at this particular appointment was a nurse practitioner midwife but I will be seeing by the doctor the rest of my pregnancy. The nurse practitioner was helpful and answered all our questions .Also she went over the result of the first screaming at 12 week and 10 week blood work. I was satisfy with the service provide at that appointment.
As for health insurance
In the United States today there is an epidemic in heath care costs and medical benefit coverage not covering all a patients need; leaving victims with large medical expenses. Today raising cost of heath care has effected the lower middle class tens of thousands in debt that lead them to bankruptsy; but resent laws passed by the Bush administration (undoubtedly lobbied by hospitals boards) making it nearly impossible for people in the middle class to file chapter 7 bankrupsy that starts them off with a clean start. Instead forcing them to file for chapter 13 that involves large sum of money be produced in *5 yrs with penalties ranging to imprisonment if the debtors defaults on payment. President Bush in a speech on the topic said people
Grace Pettigrew, my mother who is 67 years old received a $1,101.00 pension check once a month with no other income or assistance from the governments’ states that she is unable to afford health care insurance and that she over qualify for government assistance. The Medicare plan is expensive and would leave Grace short on bills or food. Therefore, my mother rely she said on community based services at a hospital in Georgia name Grady Memorial Hospital Grace (2012). The reduce plan for the hospital card is based on her income and charges he $20.00 for office visits with no deductibles to meet and three dollars for her medication. Grace (2012) describe her experience with health care services and providers as being good and because this is all she can afford that there are no complaints except for she would like to go to doctors of her choice. Unfortunately, this is not an advantage because no other doctors are willing to take on patients who do not have insurance coverage. Grace (2012) states that she has never seen so many medical offices and that there are hospitals in every neighborhood. My mother is not sure how these facilities make their money where there are so many people without jobs or insurance. According to my mom Grace (2012), People would have to call and maybe wait days for a doctor to make it to your home if there were an emergency but not
As a Health Care Supervisor, for the Home Health and Hospice department where I see on average 250 referrals a week I’m faced with many different scenarios. The hardest thing for a Healthcare manager is there’s never a one size fits all approach. One of the hardest projects I’m working on is the patient care experience advisory team. This team focuses on improving patient care experience while driving HCAHPs scores. Health care is now publicized, and with the new health care model individuals have the right to choose their health care provider. Reimbursement of services is also impacted by these various scored measurements.

Our facility is going to be changing a lot in the weeks and months to come. As the administration of the nursing home, I am going to make sure that this transition happens as smoothly as possible. The patients that have decided to stay must try their hardest to adhere to the new policies that have been set. The patients that have decided to go somewhere else will very greatly missed. The patients who cannot communicate their decision for one reason or another will be placed where the staff and I see fit, whether it be in our facility or somewhere else. This facility wants to ensure all patients and residents that we want to make these changes as painless as possible. Thank
The reason why I feel that being a Health Administrator is a good fit for me is because I love helping people. When I first started working for the arc of Monroe I knew one day I wanted to make this a career.At first, I wasn’t exactly sure what career I wanted in the health care field. So, I decided to talk to my counselor at Monroe community college. My counselor then advised me to take a career/ personality test where they match your personality with careers. After completing
There are two main measures of medical underservice in the U.S., health professional shortage areas and medically underserved areas and some special need populations. Both measures require communities to apply for designation. These designations allow the government to target resources to those determined to be most in need (Colwill and Cultice, 2003).
The Health care administrators manage the business of health care. They create and maintain budgets, hire and supervise personnel, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. In bigger settings, like hospitals, a top-level health care administrator may emphasis on long-term goals and policy-making for the facility, while assistant administrators oversee the financial, personnel, and management issues of specific departments.

For example, there are six internships per year at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System Psychology Training Program. Compared to 21 mental health counselors intern per year.
The topic I chose to write about is College of Health Services Administration. I have worked in the Medical field as a Medical Assistant for a little over 15 years and the redesign condition of health care services in the country has drastically affected the way clinics, hospitals, and insurance agencies nurture patients. Meanwhile, the price of care continues to increase which is causing many people to live with no medical coverage. Keeping cost down and developing better health care for Americans is a key issue in the political field.
problems that concern work or that occurs in a work place (Goodtherapy.org, 2017). Whilst doing my case study, I noticed that the patients that I interviewed had experienced some work related issues. The asthma patient had to refrain from any physical activity while he was at school before exercise could trigger his asthma symptoms. Also, the influenza patient mentioned that they had to take some time off work in order not to expose their colleagues to the influenza virus. Towards the ending of the month, they found that their income was affected by the time off and said they would have to work harder when they returned to catch up. From this, it is clear that work related issues can affect individuals negatively, however some issues related to work can affect health care professionals too.
My internship was with Sheppard Pratt Health System. A Hospital, that focuses mainly on mental health and substance abuse patents. Sheppard Pratt Health System offers both inpatient and day program center. My project was on Discharge planning. Its purpose is to aim to improve the coordination of services after discharge considering the patient’s best needs in the community. It seeks to bridge the gap between the Health System and the place to which the patient is discharged, reduce length of stays, and minimize unplanned readmissions. The planning of discharging a patient involves close collaboration between the patient, the support system, and the multidisciplinary team; this leads to improved patient’s satisfaction. To get a good discharge
When a health care provider is designing an educational program to clearly articulate objectives to engage both patient as well as their families, the learning objective should be written in behavioral terms defining specific learning outcomes the participant is expected to accomplish at the completion of the learning activity. The learning objective should clearly state the purpose, the procedure, and the outcome (nhnurses, n.d). By providing the patient the purpose of the learning objective they will have a better understanding of why they are needing to fulfill the objectives that you proposed. It is important for the health care provider to state or demonstrate the step by step procedure because it guides the patient and their family on how to properly execute the activity.
Health Care Administration covers a variety of different areas. Verbal communication skills are some one of the basic requirements within this major. According to the Health Care Association (HCA), to become a Non-licensed Manager you must have strong verbal communication skill which include but not limited to assisting with patient decision making and addressing issues raised by physicians, employees and patients.
I have personally been affected by the mess that America calls a health system. In the same year, I had severe food poisoning and my stomach and intestines swelled. I had to be hospitalized for a day each, and was then sent home, even though I was still very ill. The reason? My family has no health coverage. Both my parents are very hard workers and own their own business. One would think that my household could afford health coverage, but we can't, despite the many hours a week and hard labor. So, without coverage, there are heavy bills to pay. My mom and I have calculated that my parents will be paying hospital bills long after I graduate from college. Because of two days in the hospital, six bags of saline, and a bagel from the
