The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) accredits more organizations than any other accrediting agency does and organizations that receive the AAAHC accreditation signify confidence to their patients that they are receiving safe and quality service, as organizations that voluntarily participate as members in the AAAHC endure on-going self-evaluations, peer reviews and education that ensures all quality and safety measures exist within the organization (AAAHC, 2017). At least every three years (depending on organization could be 6 months, 1 year, or 3 years), surveyors, who are themselves health care professionals perform surveys on accredited organizations, which involve a wide range of issues such as patient

In order to reduce excessive expending, over ordering mandatory continuing education units (CEU) as an effort to educating providers on deciphering DME needs appropriately. The CEU education can tailored to specific practice specialty and population. Allowing for all providers to order DME in parallel with diagnosis/ condition within a certain span of time. For instance any provider can order a Continuous Positive Away Pressure (CPAP) machine for a documented sleep apnea patient within the last years. In cost saving efforts if another practitioner or physician orders this same DME within the last 5 years it will not be dispensed as Medicare has already paid for the equipment once. This reduces the duplicate charges for the same DME

The budget proposal for the Department of Health and Human Services was presented by Director Richard Whitley and Acting Administrator from the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy, Marta Jensen. In the first part of the presentation, Whitley presented a basic outline of the functions of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In terms of the Upper Payment Limit Program (UPL), Chair Sprinkle wanted Whitley to confirm that DHHS was moving its contract services from non profits for financial reasons. Whitley confirmed this and elaborated more by bringing an example of the situation with the newborn screening program. Originally, Nevada paid the state of Oregon to operate that program, however over time that was transferred back to the state of Nevada. As a result,

Providence Health & Services was established over 158 years ago, in 1856, when Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart and four other Sisters of Providence arrived in the state of Washington and answered the call for help in a new pioneer community. The community was newly established and had no schools, hospitals, or other institutions of care, and the people were struggling to survive. In 1959 the sisters included their charity works into their mission, creating the network of healthcare services we know today. Providence is the second oldest non-profit healthcare organization in Washington (Providence Health & Services, 2014).

In 1977, Chicago Family Health Center—then known as Claretian Medical Center—opened its South Chicago clinic at 91st Street and Commercial Avenue. It was in response to the collapse of the steel industry that many of the South and Southeast Chicago residents depended on. When that industry failed in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, more than 43,000 area residents found themselves without jobs. The community’s medically underserved were limited to a city Department of Health storefront facility to meet nearly all of their health needs. The Claretian priests of the local Catholic Church recognized this need and brought together community residents and other stakeholders to create a health safety net that would provide quality healthcare for area residents. That year, it provided care to 400 community residents. Today, the health network includes locations in South Chicago, Pullman, East Side, Roseland and Chicago Lawn communities. In 2013, Chicago Family Health Center cared for more than 28,000 underserved, uninsured, and underinsured patients in surrounding areas.

Further studies are needed to provide clarify whether other components of hospital care also contribute to these ratings and, if so, how much to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of patient safety at Beaumont Health System.

In contrast to tangible dominant offerings that can be felt, tasted, and seen, the healthcare services that are offered by the hospital can be categorized as intangible dominant. This intangible service is largely characterized by interactions with healthcare professionals, education on health conditions, and ultimately a better quality of health. Though the offering is primarily intangible, if the hospital is to be successful they should integrate a few tangible aspects to the offering. If the end goal of the service is to tend to the needs of the patient’s health through a primarily intangible offering, tangible elements such as medical equipment,
