Week 6 Lecture What a great class this has been. We are going to wrap up the class by talking about the organization of the future. Research has shown us that leading companies envision an endlessly changing organization. And, that reconfigurable is a term that describes an organization that is flexible and able to change on an annual, monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly time frame. Since workers are achieving higher educational levels, there is a resulting increase in the level of motivational needs.
Evolution of Health Care Information Systems HCS 533 Health Information Systems July 8, 2013 Juanita Darby Health care has continued to evolve and so has the technology that is used within this industry. Much advancement has been made within the health care industry which was unimaginable 20 years ago. As we continue to learn and conduct more research on how to provide better and efficient care, new modalities of care have emerged and many facilities and starting to follow what others have been doing because it has proved to be cost effective. Bellin Hospital is one of those facilities which has made changes to its technology in the past years. Bellin is a 160 bed hospital located in Green Bay Wisconsin.
The yearly health care spending for an individual or household is more than doubled what it used to be a decade ago. When you look at the current situation, there is no way the spending will go down but the cost will continue to grow as the year go by given the current arrangements for health care delivery and as the population ages. It is important to know that the aging population is expected to have dramatic impact in the nursing workforce. One of the identifying innovative care delivery models is the nursing care delivery model, or interdisciplinary care delivery models with a nursing component and an acute care interface, including transitional care to home setting. Through new roles for nurses and professionals, new roles for allied health professionals, students, and new graduates, use of technology and redesign of physical layout, inventory or other support systems, innovation will improve caregiver’s efficiency, quality and or cost.
Describe the pricing strategy you used during Scenario C of the Simulation Exercise. During scenario C, my strategy was focused on two main goals: 1. Increasing net profits and 2. Maximize capacity utilization consistently to 100% every month. Increase monthly net profits goal was achieve by strategically increase the rental price in cities with high demand and growing market share.
The Roaring 20’s The “roaring twenties” also known as the New Era was a decade of growth after World War I that ended in post-war America. During this time America was full of prosperity, growth, and the standard of living rose greatly as more people began living in urban areas. Throughout this decade many changes occurred including new inventions, technology, cultural developments, and the overall transformation of the American-society. The major characteristics of the twenties were interrelated with the development and influences of a greater society and shared a variety of common causes. The development of new inventions and technologies had a huge impact on America during this era as they became crucial in most people’s lives.
Disease Trends and the Delivery of Health Care Service HCA/240 Disease Trends and the Delivery of Health Care Services As the world grows through population and the development of technology so does the way people are cared for. With baby boomers getting older and greater numbers of obese patients being recognized this leads to the way this people are taken care for in the world known as health care. We may think we can continue on the same track as we started we will soon find there will be different needs that need to be meet as well as new ways to administer them. While globally the aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate, and some countries are witnessing simultaneous population aging and population decline. The face
The demand for the two occupations is expected to grow by 28 percent from 2010 to 2013, faster than the average for all occupations. The growth in the middle-aged and elderly population will lead to a greater demand for respiratory therapy services and treatments
Over the last 100 years, the expectancy of life has increased and the overall goal is to live a long and healthy life. Some social scientists have predicted that the western population have a possible life span within the range of 85-100years. Others have suggested that with medical advances humans can be expected to live beyond these ages. The longest-lived human on record was 122 years 5 months and 14 days (Whitney; 1997). Over the last century, there has been a decline in premature deaths throughout developed countries (Alder et al, 2009).
Generally, modeling and projection of disease and mortality rates have fundamental importance in epidemiology and population studies along with insurance and pensions industries. Human mortality has improved substantially over the last century all over the world but this change has brought new requirements in support-systems for the elderly, such as health-care and pension provision. Aging became the greatest population problem for many industrialized countries since the last two decades. This has resulted in a surge of interest among government policy makers and planners in accurately modeling and forecasting age-specific mortality rates. Policy makers rely greatly on future mortality rates as an indicator of future population structure also.
The world's population is growing at much faster rates and will continue to grow. Energy demand is likely to increase even faster, and the proportion supplied by electricity will also grow faster still. The need for more large-scale grid-supplied power, especially in urbanized areas, over the next several decades will boost. Much demand is for continuous, reliable supply of electricity on a large scale, and this qualitative concern will continue to dominate. Currently, worldwide 68% comes from fossil fuels (41% coal, 21% gas, and 5.5% oil), 13.4% from nuclear fission and 19% from hydro and other renewable sources.
