When patients only seek healthcare from an emergency provider their care is more expensive and may be disjointed because emergency providers do not have access to a patient’s complete medical chart. In this situation, duplicate testing is done and medications may be prescribed that are not safe for the patient. The use of the emergency room as a primary care provider and the disjointed care of patients in the emergency room are two of the many challenges that healthcare providers and governments face when a patient with chronic health problems loses their healthcare coverage. One step that may assist governments in providing safe and effective care for patients who do have chronic health issues but do not have health insurance is to provide a healthcare insurance program where the premium cost for the

The aforementioned advantages cannot be realized if the business operates as nonprofit entity since it will rely on the community for its operations and hence lack the ability and capacity to offer quality medical services. Nonprofit health care organizations depend on volunteers who in most cases do not have enough experience in the health sector. Nonprofit organizations also suffer from poor management and leadership styles which subsequently lead to their failure (Cutler, McClellan & Newhouse, 2000). Create a contract structure, including four (4) necessary clauses, for inclusion for medical staff for this facility. 1.
This creates unnecessary high cost for the hospital. The emergency department becomes over crowded with non-paying patients leaving no space for patients with private insurance. Majority of ED visits from the uninsured could be better served by a primary provider the problem is the uninsured does not have the means to receive such service from primary physicians. One solution is to create a case management program that focuses on serving individuals with a history of using the Emergency Department for non-emergent issue. The program would use case managers and a database tracking system to enhance patient access to regular healthcare services, connect patients to regular healthcare services and help combat logistical interference in getting the right care.
The director is responsible for locating and attracting candidates but not for screening or selection. Her immediate challenge is to fi nd a general practitioner for a local hospital, but her long-term goal is to address the
Participation contracts resent opportunities for providers by attracting new patients to their practice. Personally, I do not see how contracts represent financial opportunities for providers. When a provider contracts with a health plan, they must take a write off of their services they perform. Some physicians do not accept certain plans because
I was not aware that several individuals were not obtaining the care they require for the reason they could not pay for it and couldn’t find insurance.

I’ve knowledge that breaking the HIPAA policies can result in punishment along with the government laws. Role of Technology Technology will perform a big position in the medical business from security, new services ideas and diagnosing patients, contacting patients and keeping touch. It will assist to make sure the obedience in the legal condition of health care and it will assist to decreased the costs and provide a superior care than before (Finnegan, 2012) Technology will assist with more communication services, electronic medical records, and more computers doctors order entry solutions and many more things than before (Finnegan, 2012).
The reason to question the effectiveness of the fiscal integrity of the Obama care bill. (Heritage Foundation, 2011) There are pro’s and con’s with the Obama care reformation. The cons are that one of the greatest fears of the Obama care is that they will lose the right to choose their own doctor. Another con is the medical cost and billing issues for both the patient and the doctors. Both parties are questioning who will cover the cause of health care treatment.
The Hippocratic oath also states” I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, who’s illness may affect the patients family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems if I am to care adequately for the sick.“ A great deal is lost in the modern world but health care practitioners and patients should never forget what its all about, its all about reliving of suffering and enhancement of opportunities for a meaningful life, not that of intentional termination of

Write about the possible uses of hypnosis in the treatment of the condition as you see them.” In this essay I have decided to study Rheumatoid Arthritis as I have a close family member who has suffered with this debilitating condition from being in her early twenties namely my mother. Rheumatoid Arthritis can be extremely painful and I believe that Hypnotherapy can play a part in relieving that pain as well as promoting self-image alongside traditional pain relief methods. In order to explain how I believe Hypnotherapy can help with this
