Abstract In recent years, healthcare leaders and medical experts have expressed concerns about tough challenges ahead for healthcare and its leaders. While most agree that the issue warrants attention, consensuses divide around how to respond to the problem. The purpose of this paper is to summarize, explore and analyze Dr. Kyle Glazier’s article on Ronald G. Spaeth’s philosophies on healthcare, and examine Spaeth’s authority on business and healthcare through his education and works. His business theories in management branch from a human relations approach which accounts for much of his success in healthcare to express his methods. He states that healthcare institutions have shifted more like running a business and those young healthcare
Why is confidentiality so important in a medical office? I am going to start by going to the very heart of the matter and quote the Hippocratic Oath, “What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken of”. Every physician in the world recites this at his/her graduation and all its saying is he/she will not discuss a patient with anyone. To me confidentiality protects all of us as patients, it allows us to be candid and truthful about our illnesses because we trust and know that our doctors and their staffs will never share what we tell them. Sometimes, for medical employees, it is hard to maintain confidentiality when family members want to know about their loved ones.
Making a difference in someone life just fascinates me, knowing that I have the power to help someone. Working at the Bruckner Oncology as a Medical Assistant intern is one of the greatest life experience. Even those I had face many new challenges I will not trade it in for any other work field. Becoming an assistant also supplies knowledge of the most intimate interactions of the natural processes, giving a glimpse of processes that are not easy to understand. At this Center the patients are Cancer related.
If Jerry loses his license he will more than likely not be able to practice nursing again. It’s important that the physician’s support staff, including nurses, physician assistants, certified Medical assistants, and technicians, understand the different medical specialty categories since they are often the ones who respond to patients’ questions regarding these
The long time experience that he has, is brought out in this book as he seeks to explain the act in depth. The book explains the fears and confusion created by the people that are not fully aware what the act entails. The book is very helpful to anybody who has only been listening to the media about the Health Care Act. It gives a deep coverage of the issue and separates the facts from the myths. The book is important to the research as it gives the details about the act and its implementation process.
If the previous manager ignores problems or lacks the vision for change complacency sets into him/her self and the people around them. This is exactly what has happened at Cardiology Associates and one of the hurdles that Alan will need to overcome. As Alan becomes more acquainted with his Director’s role he finds himself neck deep in various situations that are having negative effects on his ability to lead his team which consists of six full time faculty physicians, five part time cardiologists, three cardiology fellows and an interdisciplinary staff who work in various programs. Alan has an excellent reputation for his clinical work. He is well respected among his peers and is consulted regularly on difficult cases.
Many patients undergoing chemotherapy swear by the magic that is pot. However the federal government is not as enamored with the usage of this so called “miracle drug”. They have made it somewhat complicated to obtain and make use of. There are physicians on both sides of these issues, that should be a strictly medical decision decided by the care giver based on their knowledge of the individual patient and that patient’s
I havce known since from the time that I was little that I wanted to do something healthcare Up until I discovered the Physician Assistant career, I wanted to be a doctor, but was hesitant to do so because of all the schooling, responsibilities, and extra stress that goes along with it. I am not saying that being a PA does not have responsibilities and is not stressful, but in comparison to a doctor, these items are considerably less of an issue. As I stated in my first reflection, I have a true passion for people and for helping them. NO matter what their problem may be, I am always trying to be the “helper” and do anything I can to make their day a little better than it was before. Having a career that is designed specifically to help people will fit me perfectly.
Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation Sherry Roberts University of Kentucky Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation Medicine and health in its earliest beginnings focused on treatments and cures. People were expected to blindly obey what a doctor said just because he was a doctor. There has been a shift of simply “doing” what a doctor or medical professional tells you, to trying to understand the motivations behind behavior. Much of human cognition and behavior is characterized as inherently purposeful, directed to achieve goals and to reduce and remove obstacles to those goals (Cameron & Leventhal, 2003, p. 42-43). In other words humans are known problem solvers.
Making the best ethical decisions can be extremely challenging for most therapists due to the multitude of complex ethical situations that arise in practice. The study was done to investigate and identify which factors therapist practitioners do affect them and eventually their clients. The goal of this study was to examine the ethical values of therapists considered to be "the best of the best" by their professional colleagues. It was hoped that such an examination would help to illuminate the ethical values that these master therapists seem to draw upon in their profession. The assessment was done within a well and highly recommended group of 10 peer-nominated experts and master therapists, and was conducted in the area of their cognitive, emotional, and relational characteristics.
