Reflection Paper On Health Care

All too often in regards to medical treatment, physicians are taught everything known about the scientific approaches to disease but still fail to realize the important details of how the disease impacts the individual. Many physicians do not show empathy to their patients and instead just focus on the current diagnosis and the probable outcome. This creates a divide between patient and provider and can even lead to negative feelings of the patient that far outweigh the diagnosis itself. A feeling of hopelessness and despair may accompany the empty feeling that comes with failing to explore the patient’s perspective on care. In this essay, Parrish states,

Procedures also outline how to deal with disciplinary issues, allegations of abuse, managing risk, deal with grievance or death, respond to emergencies that we have in which supports us on how we work effectively and correctly which allows us to give the best level of care we can give to individuals.

Every patient has a right to decide on their own course of treatment and freely consent to that treatment. In order to make an educated decision they must be provided with the proper information to make an informed choice (Opinion 8.08 - Informed Consent, 2006). It is the physician’s legal and ethical obligation to provide this information when making their recommendation on treatment. The choices given must be in accordance with good medical practice (Opinion 8.08 - Informed Consent, 2006). The informed consent is the legal policy, either written or verbal, that gives full disclosure of all the information including potential risks that is applicable to the patient’s condition and treatment being offered (Kazmier, 2008).

The human services organization I observed was the Town of Babylon Drug and Alcohol Division. This organization provides outpatient substance abuse treatment to individuals who are addicted to drugs and other substance. These services include group counseling, individual counseling, psychoeducation, and drug screening. In this case study I will be going over leadership style, the approach used, and other aspects of this organization.

Oral health in Australia is a concern. The impact of poor dental health can instigate ulcers, gingivitis, gum disease and damage one’s overall health. Tooth decay is extensive among Australian adults, and tooth aches are a considerable amount of hospital admission for children (Parliament of Australia, 2013). Two in three children aged 14 years have deteriorated permanent teeth, while three in ten adults receive no treatment at all. Adults living in rural Australia are 1.7 times more likely to have no teeth than those in major cities. 14 percent of children and 37 percent of adults avoid or delaying seeing a dentist due to costs (Australian Institude of Health and Welfare, 2012). The advantages of installing a dental program within

As we all know, the United States has been and continues to be on the edge of national health reforms due to uncontrolled healthcare costs. Since the U.S. health care system does not lead the world in health of its own citizens, 28 million Americans remain uninsured and 30 Million more are underinsured as of 2016 (Jama, 2016). The national health reform started in the early 1900s when the American people faced sickness that led to poverty. Working people had to miss work due to sickness which led to a loss of their wages and steady income, making it hard to pay for medical expenses. The decreased income, made it hard to seek medical attention, because it became a matter of just being able to cover necessities. President Theodore Roosevelt

The report critically appraises the research article by von Haaren et al., (2015) who has investigated the influence of 20 week aerobic exercise training on emotional stress reactivity in students experiencing real life examination stress and the article by Kim et al., (2013) who has explored the impact of Kouk Sun Do, a mind-based intervention on students with anxiety symptoms. This appraisal is important to determine its applicability for the case scenario of Mariana who is an Australian University student with a 18 month year daughter. Being a single mother, she lacks social support and has additional liabilities in her life compared to other students. This condition along with diabetes and rare blood disorder has made her very depressed in life. The critical appraisal and evaluation of the research paper is important for evidence based practice and choosing health intervention according to best available evidence (Grove et al., 2014). This report analyse the two papers to determine the best evidence based practice that can be applied in case of Mariana to

In the case of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, democrats had observed Bill Clinton’s effort at health care reform and they had also watched republican congress use their strong points of congressional leadership to pass reforms that had previously been put on hold (Beaussier, 2012). The Democratic Congressional Party learned through others that they could use their power of partisanship to vanquish those who opposed the healthcare reform and they did just that. What is meant by this is that at the time of this PPACA bill, the house and the senates was majority ruled by the Democratic Party and were able to vote in favor of the PPACA even with those opposing the bill it wouldn’t be enough to hold it

For our fourth Case Assignment, we are to suppose that we are a health care provider and that over a lengthy dinner conversation, a person across the table argues that patients do not receive good medical care if they don't have much money. We are to do the following during this dinner conversation A) First explain the basic intent of Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan to that person in our own words, B) Identify at least one argument against Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan, and lastly C) Based on our own research, summarize how the National Health Care plan recently adopted by Congress will impact Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan.

First, the relationship between a doctor and patient is a valuable asset in today’s medical environment. In this case, Merry didn’t understand that her diagnosis was worsening after refusing treatment, her autonomy was to have control of her own life decisions. As a result, Merry’s family chose to deny

I have never really focused on the issues that our economy is facing; therefore, I find reading articles like these rather interesting. They provide me with material and questions I would not have looked up before. My favorite quote from the article was, “Monetary policy has been keeping the patient alive, creating the possibility of a lasting cure through fiscal and structural operations,” as stated by BoE Chief. I thought this line to be very funny and blunt. The comparison of the nation to a patient really put into perspective the how tragic our economic system is doing. Also, I have come to belief that people are okay with the monetary policy because it has been providing some relief to our problems, but people must find an actually solution,

Task 1 requires you to submit a written piece of work covering all learning outcomes (LO1s, LO2s & LO3s) with a reflective account embedded in the context of work.

The current state of United States’ health care system is one of the most polarizing subjects of debate among scholars and other health care professionals across the globe. This can be attributed to the fact that at one extreme end, there are some who argue that that Americans have the best system of health care in the world (MePhee, 2013). Perhaps the availability of the state-of-the-art facilities and free medical technology that have become highly symbolic of the various industries in the United States have motivated the idea of the country’s health care system being unparalleled to others. However, there is a common belief that the fight for universal health care can only be successful if its current state of health care is described as a failure in the modern era as emphasized by MePhee (2013).

There has been plans geared towards improvement of healthcare in the U.S to enable meet its population needs by improving the health status of Americans. Top on the list of its agenda is to provide appropriate healthcare to all people within the U.S. borders which is a goal that is achievable according to PR Newswire (2007).

The Women’s Health Issues course this semester have been interesting and informative. I gained great perspective on health topics affecting women’s health status and ways biological and social factors put women at a higher stake for health issues. One of the most important thing I am taking away from this class is the importances of understanding women’s health, as a Public Health student women’s health has been a topic of interest for a long time. Coming from a developing country where many women grapple with health issues from discrimination and prescribed roles, it has been important for me to take this class and to have better understanding on health disparities that exist globally between women and men.
