According to Rosenau, Lai, and Lako (2012), the United States health care industry P4P is one of the most important developments after capitation and managed care. The target of P4P is to change the behavior patients, physicians, and those working in the health care industry through a system of rewards and punishments. The P4P bonus for physicians can become the form of an add-on to his or her salary to the general fee-for-service.

Every organization, be it small or large, experiences some type of business risk. A well-prepared organization can anticipate risks, however not all risks are foreseeable. It is therefore beneficial for an organization to determine the weaknesses and threats that they may experience. In the health care industry, it is especially important as the environment is constantly changing, with complete reform becoming a strong possibility. Minimizing the weaknesses and threats of the wellness program that is to be created, is of the utmost importance.
Therefore, doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and the individual themselves are in fact what makes up the the health care industry that needs to reduce the risks from using medicines and to get the most benefit out of them. In order to make medicine use safer, one must speak up about their past and present because the more information a health care organization knows about them, the better they can plan the care that’s right for them. Another important factor that FDA effects in the health care industry is finding the correct facts. Before the health care organization can decide on a prescription or OTC medicine, one must know understand as much about it as possible. The most important factors to identify are brand and generic names, active ingredients, inactive ingredients, uses, warnings, possible interactions, side effects, possible tolerance, dependence, or addiction, overdose, directions, storage instructions, and expiration
It gave very useful information and outlined very critical components related to strokes. I like that it gave the signs and symptoms of a stroke and explained that medical attention is needed immediately because a medication could be given to lessen the effects or even reverse the potential damage caused by strokes. The only thing that could have been improved in the brochure is more detail about what to do if you have risk factors that could potentially lead to a stroke.

Theory Based Exemplary Article: Implementing Pender's Health Promotion Theory into the Post Partum Setting Kim Freitas Liberty University NURS 502 Dr. Kim Little October 7, 2012 Abstract As a medical professional it is important to impact the patient population in such a way as to treat the condition in which they are seeking attention for, educate the patient on how to care for the condition, along with treatment options and curing factors.

Health IT and Patient Safety, IOM Reflection April Everly Aria Health School of Nursing Nursing Informatics Health IT and Patient Safety, IOM reflection As the health information technology field grows, so does our efforts to implement and improve healthcare performance, reduce costs, and find new ways to enhance patient safety. In order to keep track of how health IT is actually affecting the healthcare field, informational studies are necessary. Studies can show us a lot in terms of "...evaluating safety concerns, and identifying actions that both the government and private sectors can make" (Institute of Medicine, 2011, para. 1). Through these studies it is hoped that we will have a better understanding and a clearer
The role of new medical technology will be a primary source of both improvements in health and increasing expenditures. That is why the health care system must avoid an innovation policy that cuts off new interventions because some interventions that are not cost-effective may prove to be in the future. New drugs, new devices, new imaging techniques, and new surgical procedures have had a huge impact on health care expenditures in the past and probably will in the future (New England Journal of Medicine,
