I chose to compare the operation management between the for-profit hospitals to non-profit hospitals. I chose this topic because I have worked for both. My degree is going to be Associates of Occupation Health for Medical Billing and Coding. I am also a License Practical Nurse. In Fort Smith were I last worked we had a private owned hospital, Non-profit hospital and a community owned hospital. People had a choice on where to go. Around here in Tulsa there are multi hospitals to choose from.
When you go to a hospital it is very important to pick the right one for your family. Unless you have a HMO plan that tells you which one to choose, you can go to any hospital in the area. It is best to check with your insurance company to see which one is in your network. It is always best to go with you’re the hospital in your network. The difference between these hospitals are that Community based hospital is financial supported by the community. The one in the Fort Smith area was Summit. The county was the one to start it to help with the low income families in the northern area close to Van Buren. It was not big and had bare minimum medical services. The taxes in the area help start and continue to support the hospital. We don’t have a lot of community based hospital in the United States

The ambulance took them to Sparks. Because Sparks Regional is known for their Heart Center. Sparks emergency physician stabilized the patient then put back into ambulance to send to Mercy.

How quickly the sufferer was transported to a hospital was heavily depended on the education of the people surrounding them at the time. In Mr. Miele’s case, he was accompanied by friends who immediately recognized the symptoms of a heart attack, and were able determine that calling an ambulance was the smartest thing to do. In Ms. Gora’s case, she was not aware she was having a heart attack, and initially refused to allow her husband to call an ambulance out of fear that it would cost too much, and hoping that her symptoms would go away. Lack of education is not limited to a person’s individual level of education. The level to which doctors educate their patients about what’s going on with their body, or what their different treatment options are, also effects the aftermath of a heart
There are errors and hazards in care that occurred in the Mr. B scenario. One error was the emergency room physician’s failure to recognize the signs and symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that Mr. B was presenting. If not treated early, a DVT can become a pulmonary embolism, a fatal condition that Mr. B unfortunately developed. Another error in care that happened in the Mr. B scenario is the nurses’ failure to monitor Mr. B’s ECG and respirations. Early detection of critical ECG and respiratory changes could have initiated medical interventions that would have saved Mr. B’s life. One hazard is the emergency room nurses’ heavy patient load at the time of Mr. B’s sentinel event. Another hazard is having a licensed

From a personal perspective, I think hospices may change and vary based on the type of ownership. For-profit organizations are usually advanced in technology and they care about their quality of care. However, non for-profit organization will not be advanced in technology and their quality of care will not be Haigh as in the for-profit organizations. People usually prefer to get treatments on for-profit organization because of the quality of care they will

Florida Hospital is a non-profit hospital, which means the money goes back into patient care. Florida Hospital includes the human aspects in all levels of their organization.

Do you know that most hospitals in the U.S. make more than $150 million a year off of their patients? According to the article from HealthNetPulse.com, “Non-Profits of Hospitals” by Stacey Madden, only 18% of the money goes to the U.S. and the rest go to the facilities of the state. Why would people need to pay more than they need to for treatment when most of the money doesn’t go to things that may help them? Some people have financial aid such as Medicare or Medicaide, but how could that be fair to everyone that some people have to pay for care while others don’t because of how wealthy they are. Despite arguments that making treatment from hospitals free can lead to the overcrowding of patients and scarce resources, going to the hospital and getting treated should not have to cost you money because some people deserve the treatment but can not afford it and the money that goes towards the country for profit is low, which means people’s money that they worked hard for is going down the drain.
