Following an organization announcement in 2015, the healthcare system was divided into four divisions headed by a leadership team of 5 that oversee all the divisions. The second division consists of the 3 regional hospitals associated with the New York Presbyterian system. Often hospitals associated with a healthcare system are hospitals waiting on approval from the city and HCOs involved. The 3rd division consists of NY-Presbyterian physician services.

Another issue that loyalty wraps itself around is the wait time in doctors’ offices, including the time between a call-in and appointment and the time spent in the waiting room. Studies show that America generally has some of the longest waiting times among other countries. Studies show that 26 percent of Americans wait six days or more for an appointment after calling, which is better than only Norway and Canada (Rosenthol). Because people find spending relatively long periods of time in waiting rooms unsatisfactory, they seek to find the healthcare provider that has little to no waiting room. If the efficiency of the medical staff proves to be poor, then the waiting time a patient experiences could be incredibly long. This could cause dissatisfaction towards the specific practice, harming a reputation and resulting in fewer patients in the future.

I also got the jist of the time and effort that goes into making prosthetics limbs for a young child.

While researching I learned that all three agencies shared the same covered services. The services covered included nursing care, medical social services, home health aide, and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech. Neither of the three showed what types of services were not covered.

The CMS, along with the AHRQ, are the proponents for the Hospital Compare survey. They provide hospital surveys and reports these results on its Hospital Compare portal to assist Medicare consumers in making informed healthcare decisions. The GGI then filters this information through our proprietary hospital ranking algorithm to make sense out of it so consumers can make informed decisions. In doing so, we consider hospital characteristics to help understand the survey results and to get a better idea of consumer satisfaction and hospital care. We consider specifically, the hospital location, type (Acute Care or Critical Access), ownership (government, profit, non-profit, etc.), and other services and then provide these ratings and rankings

The rivalry between existing competitors is generally only about external factors and cannot be influenced by the company
