Evidence-based practice is extremely important in health care. It is not only important to know how to perform a certain skill, but why it should be done. There needs to be a standard of care and providers need to know the best way of doing things based on evidence. The article mentions that in the 20th century, many medial decisions were made on doctor assessment and preference (Brower, 2017). Many physicians were practicing dramatically different when compared with one another, which led to the realization that changes needed to be made and Evidence-based practice began to develop. Even though Evidence-based practices have been in play for a while, there is a gap between understanding and applying evidence-based
Many selections of healthcare plans are available for consumers to choose from to match their own personal needs, preferences and budget. The health care system is most often complex, inconsistent and costly.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a case study of UnitedHealthcare Group, what they are about, their network and resource management, their view on nursing and how they satisfy their patients.
According to Warren et al. (2016), numerous barriers exist for implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) within hospitals. In a study conducted evaluating the strengths and opportunities for implementing EBP in hospitals, lack of autonomy, lack of leadership support, and lack of inclusion in clinical practice decisions, were noted as the top barriers to the implementation of EBP (Warren, et al., 2016). The study revealed that while the majority of respondents’ beliefs
The National health services (NHS) provides a comprehensive healthcare services across the entire nation. It is considered to be UK’s proudest institution, and is envied by many other countries because of its free of cost health delivery to its population. Nevertheless, it is often seen as a ‘political football’ as it affects all of us in some way and hence everyone carry an opinion about it (Cass, 2006). Factors such as government policies, funding, number of service users, taxation etc all make up small parts of this large complex organisation. Therefore, any imbalances within one sector can pose a substantial risk on the overall NHS (Wheeler & Grice, 2000). This essay will discuss whether the NHS aim of reducing the nations need
Different people look at health in different ways. It can depend on their culture, environment, religion or age group. In order to have a clear understanding about how the people look at health, I have conducted a survey from a random sample of people who belongs to the above groups (e.g. people of different ages have been chosen).
Banner Health is a nonprofit health care system that was started on September 1, 1991 after the merger of Samaritan Health System and Lutheran Health Systems. Before the merger Lutheran Health System had a long standing history as a respected health care provider in rural communities located across Western and Midwestern states dating as far back as 1938 while Samaritan Health System was formed in 1911 and had a reputation for clinical excellence in California and Arizona primarily in the metro Phoenix area.

The entire health industry is highly commercial and the face of the industry has changed and so has the requirements. Value creation today is mostly done by pharmacy benefit managers, doctors, nurses and the Physician Assistant--PA. These and health maintenance organizations are the new healthcare players. They are in need of modern tools to improve the medical cost management skills, and creating a competitive organizational culture. (Lopez, 7) The evidence-based practice which evolved in early 1990s was related to create organizational development including finding evidence for a specific clinical condition which later spread to become evidence-based practice as a part of management approach to service improvement. (Dunning, Delivering Better Health Care: What can go wrong when you are implementing evidence-based practice? Some lessons from the development process)
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services goal is to protect the health of all Americans and providing essential human services. The agencies perform a wide variety of tasks and services, including research, public health, food and drug safety, grants and other funding, health insurance.
Gabbay J & le May write “Evidence Based Guidelines Or Collectively Constructed "Mindlines?" Ethnographic Study Of Knowledge Management In Primary Care”, which is a qualitative research to study the collective and individual data methods.(1) In this essay, I will use Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) as a framework to evaluate and analyse the strengths and weakness of the quality of this paper. The paper of Yardley Lucy(2000) as well as kitto et al(2008) will also help to shape the evaluation process.(2, 3)
The design of an organization is a “formal, guided process for integrating the people, information, and technology of an organization” (Glickman et al., 2007). A good organizational design increases the likelihood that an organization will succeed; that its’ values will be realized and its mission will be attained. An organization begins with a strategy or a purpose, is followed by its philosophy or values, then identifies the mission and finally evaluates the environment and its’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the organization (Kelly & Crawford, 2008).
Although knowledge translation is one of the greatest strategies widely used in healthcare organizations, there is some of ambiguities and barriers over its utilization. Many studies explore the complexity of barriers and limitation for KT application into clinical practice, these barriers are broadly divided into three aspects as the person, practice environment, and knowledge translation activities (Metzler & Metz, 2010).

Suggest the key financial drivers that most likely will cause health care organizations to merge. Provide support for your rationale.
Creating a flowchart can help members of a team understand how a workflow process works and also reduce unnecessary steps. By making a protocol appear simpler and easier to follow, the organization can help nurses be more consistent with the protocol and therefore improve patient outcomes. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (n.d.), a flowchart helps provide a visual aspect of the workflow by “conveying the sequence and interactions of activities and tasks and thus clarifying key work processes, identifying who performs what activities and tasks, recognizing activities and tasks that should be performed by another person, and identifying unnecessary or non-value-added activities and tasks that you might choose to eliminate” (para. 2). The purpose of this paper is to create a flowchart that identifies health conditions that may require a detainee to obtain medical clearance from the emergency department (ED) before being admitted to the detention center.
