As financial manager, my role is a complex one covering many different areas of my clients finances. My role requires me to have a full understanding of the finances and how my company is ran. I am responsible for managing the budget and allocating funds amongst the different departments in relevance to importance, in order to keep the company running successfully. Choosing to invest in a company is a huge decision , requiring a rigorous amount of research. This research is done in order to determine whether the companies are a good fit for each other. The amount of research conducted can make the difference between my investor increasing their profit and losing money.

Western Health System noticed that many of its local clinic managers were leaving to join the competition. Their human resources director, Stephanie Anderson realized that they were losing a lot of talented people who had become demotivated, and she worked on developing a program to increase their motivation in hope that they would remain committed to Western Health System. Her program, Exploration, had many great features, but to truly asses the program one first has to understand motivation, motivational theories, and the current issues at hand.

It is critical to understand the epidemiology of such diseases that overcome a population. With this skill, it would enable health care managers to incorporate such skills to make proper evidence and population based decisions, especially when health resources are limited. In addition, finance, planning, quality issue assessments, and evidence based public health practice would be considered (Healey & Lesneksi, 2011). This can allow them to not only develop best practices, but to also share them through the health care system (Healey & Lesneksi, 2011).

I think that Canadian health care system can be used as guide in the U.S territories. The reason

Healthy people 2020 is dedicated to attack issues which affect the society of the current decade. One of the issues it considers is tobacco use. It has arranged its plan for action into three topic areas:

Over the past century, individual healthcare costs in the United States of America have tripled. Just in 2014, the annual healthcare spending hit $3.8 trillion. (Munro) Not only does the overall cost of healthcare keep rising, but also the number of uninsured citizens is staying stagnant. Even with the recent outbreaks over Obama care, American citizens are not gaining the advantages that they need in obtaining universal health-care. The cost will only further increase, unless some action is taken. What is the opportunity cost for having a universalized health care system? This would be the cost for the government of implementing free health-care for all citizens. Also, what are the pros and cons to the scarcity that will come along with free

Comparing health care systems of the United States and Germany. Assessing the areas of health care for adults’ elderly and retired, coverage for prescriptions, referrals for testing and specialties including pre-existing conditions, and financial effects and of course the children.

One of the campaigns is lung cancer campaign ‘got a cough, get a check!’ it shows the symptoms of lung cancer, saying that if you are coughing a lot or if you cough up blood, neck pain and shortness of breath to see your doctor. This will mean that people can be checked earlier than leaving it for it to just get worse. Lung cancer is the most common cause of death ‘’it is known that smokers and ex-smokers have a particularly high risk of developing the disease: although most lung cancers are related to smoking, 10% of people with lung cancer have never smoked.’’ (http://lungcancercampaign.org/patient-information/). Which links to the smoking

Seven in ten deaths in the United States, are attributable to chronic disease (“Leading Causes” 1). These diseases are not on account of bacteria or viruses, which could be treated with an appropriate prescription or vaccine. Chronic conditions are developed through unhealthy lifestyles and behaviors such as a lack of exercise, poor nutrition, poor sleeping habits, and substance use (e.g. tobacco). Consequently, seven in ten of every death can be prevented with changes in lifestyle. The CDC states that these conditions, “are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems” (“Chronic Disease” 1). Although these conditions have clear and definite causes (knowing the exact reason and “cure” for them), they are becoming more prevalent rather than domesticated. According to Wu and Green, “Between 2000 and 2030 the number of Americans with chronic conditions will increase by 37 percent, an increase of 46 million people” (1). This increase comes with an increase in health care costs: the CDC reported that the U.S. spent three trillion dollars on health care in 2014 (“Health Expenditures” 1). 86% of these costs was associated with these conditions (“Prevention” 1). Despite there being a range of causes of why patients make these choices, one issue that may be less familiar to others is the lack of knowledge in preventative medicine among health care professionals. Current training standards are not adequately educating or equipping health care professionals

For some time now, Americans have been wanting to switch to a universal healthcare system. A healthcare system where all Americans will have access to the proper healthcare that is affordable and fits their needs. Some solutions that can be implemented are replacing for-profit insurance companies, reforming the healthcare system, and hiring insurance companies that have slow cost growths. These are good solutions because there are a large number of Americans who do not have health insurance and desperately need it. However, we should not put a national health care system into effect because our current healthcare system is in a corrupt state and has to be addressed before we can move forward.

The American health care system is so dysfunctional, people pay a lot and most of the times, they don’t get enough of the service they require. Health care has always been a big issue both in the past and now, medicine is expensive but also, it is needed, but due to the way the health care system is set up, it made it hard for some individuals to afford it. According to Goldhill, “We need to reduce, rather than expand, the role of insurance”. The problem is that the health care system is put in the hands of the insurance companies and government, while people are being cut out from it and it is killing us. People need to have control over their own health care, therefore, a market base system is needed in the health care system for a better

The health care system in the United States is one of the greatest concerns facing Americans today and is an issue both moral and economic in nature. Some think the system should stay, for all intents and purposes, the same. They believe that the right to healthcare is a stepping stone toward socialism, and that it is the responsibility of the individual to obtain health care. These are usually the more ideologically conservative citizens and politicians who believe that medicine should remain a free enterprise, not to be constrained by government interference. Then there are those who believe that healthcare is a right, and the federal government has a responsibility to make sure it is available to all citizens, not just those who can afford

In this paper there will be a brief discussion of three forces that have affected the development of the U.S healthcare system. It will observe whether or not these forces will continue to have an effect on the U.S healthcare system over the next decade. This paper will also include an additional force, which may be lead to believe to have an impact on the health care system of the nation. And lastly this paper will evaluate the importance of technology in healthcare.

Given the fact that the United states of America and Canada are linked together sharing a border which is open basically to and from both sides, their health care systems are highly different from each other and how the services are financed, organized and given to the citizens.
