There are many ways in which prescription fraud can occur. Because of the plethora of ways, pharmacists must be alert and responsible in their actions. Many seem to believe that electronic prescribing has been found to reduce the number of errors and statistics and data reflects that. America cannot be ignorant in this matter. The new electronic system not being implemented is like going through life with a contagious deadly disease, you have the money for the cure, but yet you complain, sulk, and feel sorry for yourself instead of going to get the cure.
Texts construct race as a natural category. Many representations generally describe the interests of dominant groups by defining other races as abnormal. Somewhere right now, there is someone being discriminated for the colour of their skin. Today’s society; you may say all you want about it being better than what is was like in the 1900’s to now but how much better is it really? Yes we have found many cures for severe illnesses and are now aware of Global Warming, which we are doing our best to prevent with renewable energy, but has anyone ever thought of the way people act throughout society?
As we age and the population is constantly change, we the people are more effectuated to our health especially as the technology and social media are the new living standards. As the standard are chaning the, pharmaceutical companies play a significant role in promoting good health. If we are governed to obi by rules and regulation, then it necessary for the Pharmaceutical companies to live up ethical principles and corporate social responsibilities. Although, we tend to turn the blind eye there is tons of violations in pharmaceutical industry that money continues to cover up. This will lead us into a case where, Pfizer failed to keep its commitment to corporate social responsibility as one of the most successful pharmaceutical companies, the choice they made to choose to bear unethical behavior in 1996.
Without perseverance, comes no solution. The importance of SOB’s efforts is really the main idea behind it all. If we don’t exercise our rights by protesting for a just cause, they will be taken for granted and taken away. The importance of protests is somewhat diminished as time goes by because we can’t march to better healthcare or cause civil disobedience to change the budget deficit. We need to conduct meetings and propose a plan
This movement opened American's eyes the injustice that was happening based on the color of skin and started a bigger movement for equality. The way Martin Luther King used non-violent protest to achieve what he wanted also is a big contribution to society. Before him, people seemed to think that violence was the only way to get the change you wanted to see. Martin Luther King proved this wrong by his peaceful protests and moving speeches getting the changes he wanted to
(Sultz & Young pg. 228). All of these factors have contributed to the increased costs of the health care system put on the public and has also influenced some of the barriers that have led to the access of healthcare I spoke about above. The AMA (American Medical Association) also attributes the high cost of health care from the rising toll of preventable illness & inefficiencies in the health care system. They have identified four strategies to contain health care cost, they consist of reduce the burden of preventable disease, make health care delivery more efficient, reduce nonclinical health system costs that do not contribute to patient care and promote value-based decision making at all levels.(http://www.ama-assn.org).
When taking a look at Llyod Bitzer’s Rhetorical Situation I see several similarities on his positions compared with many modern well-known rhetoricians. Bitzer explains that rhetorical discourse comes into existence as a response to a situation and without a given situation there would only be communication. With that being said, I think it s appropriate to make my first argument on how this is still apparent in today’s world. Our current government was recently focusing very closely on health care reform, because it was (and still is) an apparent problem (the situation). When the government or the president addressed this issue they were practicing the art of rhetorical discourse by addressing and reacting to the given situation.
Later on, concerns about individual health and cleanliness to prevent disease encouraged the development of the Health care and welfare services. The following essay will show how the number of reforms that took place during this time not only transformed Public Health throughout the 19th Century, but also set down the framework for future reform and laid down the foundation of what Public Health is today. From 1801 to 1901, the number of people living in the cities increased 78%. (Halliday, 2007, p 19) The modernisation of agriculture and industry caused a growing prosperity and this attracted migrations of people to the industrialised cities and towns, which suffered an unexpected demographic growth. Britain was the first industrialised nation, the so-called ‘industrial shop of the world’ and had a reputation to keep.
Integrated Care is Essential for Health Now the health-care system is moving to a new era by integrating physical health care and mental health care. Studies proved that many of the common reasons for diseases and death are connected to behavior and environment. Avoiding the physical care in time is also a part of behavior. So, a culturally sensitive integrated treatment system is need in health care system. The interventions in behavior will make a great impact in many of the chronic diseases like asthma, and diabetes.
The good intentions of these doctors range from curing medical diseases, to preventing genetic disorders. Unfortunately, there are too many concerns involved. The door to genetic manipulation is quickly opening. The future of designer babies could be dangerous. It has the potential to shake up society as humans know it.
