Health Care Reform Project Part I HCS 440 Bruce Peterson December 24, 2012 Summary The rapid population growth in the United States along with the continuously rising health costs makes managing the health care industry difficult. Because of technologic advancements both in healthcare services and medicine, people are able to live longer lives. However, as the aging population grows, more will need healthcare and more services will need to be provided. In the 1950s, not that many people lived longer than their 70s (Getzen & Allen, 2007). Furthermore, in the 1950s there were larger families so elderly care was more commonly given by family members.
<br> The Roger Maris Cancer Center is a strength of MeritCare. It provides cancer treatment to people in three states, pulling patients from eastern North Dakota, northern South Dakota and western Minnesota. This has been a very successful venture increasing patient visits per month by 100. <br>The strengths of the Fargo Clinic add significant strength to the MeritCare merger. One of the main strengths of the clinic is that it is one of the largest multispecialty clinics in the country with 30 locations throughout North Dakota and Minnesota.
Examine the table above. Which of ADM’s accruals are “large” relative to the benchmark? Do all of these large changes in accruals seem reasonable given what you know was happening in ADM’s product markets during 2008? The following are the large accruals: receivables, inventories, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The large increase in inventories, accounts receivable, and accounts payable seems the most appropriate, considering the prices of soybeans and corn both have significantly increased over the last few years, and also seem to have gone back and forth quite a bit.
Its three immediate goals include: creating new jobs and saving existing ones, spurring economic activity and investing in long-term growth, and fostering unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending. The Recovery Act intends to achieve those goals by the following: providing $288 billion in tax cuts and benefits for millions of working families and businesses, increasing federal funds for education and health care as well as entitlement programs (such as extending unemployment benefits) by $224 billion, making $275 billion available for federal contracts, grants and loans, and requiring recipients of Recovery funds to report quarterly on how they are using the money. The rationale for this stimulus comes out of the Keynesian economic tradition that argues that government budget deficits should be used to cover the output gap created by the drop in consumer spending during a recession. While offering financial aid directly to local school districts, expanding the Child Tax Credit, and underwriting a process to computerize health records so that medical errors can be reduced with health care costs being saved, the Recovery Act is targeted at infrastructure development and enhancement. For instance, investment in the domestic renewable energy industry and the weatherizing of 75 percent of federal buildings along with more than one million private homes around the country is planned.
Current Business Research Project Paper Jaceson Bradford RES/341 January 18, 2011 Roger Gibb Current Business Research Project Paper The World Health Organization has made advances in nitrogen balance studies since there last report. The studies of isotope protein and utilization of amino acid balance, and using more informed information on body composition in infancy and childhood, give them a better understanding, and statistical estimation of risk deficiency and the definition of safe individual and population intakes. Recognizing the deficiencies in the existing knowledge base helps identify areas for future research by expanded scientific and academic communities. The recommendation from these experts carries much weight in the academic community, research funding bodies, bilateral donors, and international agencies. There needs to be a better understanding on the interaction of the human body with dietary protein in food.
I think that the most major demographic change in Texas over the years would definitely have to be population growth. Texas is fast growing and we are a very diverse area. Many rural areas are becoming urban areas and it seems like is happening quickly. The population growth can be credited to three major factors: natural increase due to the difference between births and deaths; international immigration; and domestic immigration. (Champagne & Harpham, 21) Texas seems to be urbanizing more and more.
With CLABSI on the rise, healthcare staff needs to be effective in their care for quality improvement in patient safety and patient centeredness. Central line infection can lead to many complications such as bleeding, blockage, pneumothorax, and pain from the insertion site. In 2009, CLABSI resulted in nearly $700 million in additional healthcare costs, according to Center of Disease Control (CDC) data quoted in the CMS release. Each year, approximately 2 million patients are infected by CLABSI. Many of these infections continue to occur more, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU) and other departments.
The Puppy Mill Plague The breeding and living conditions in puppy mills are ethically wrong, and stronger legislation is needed to ensure the protection of dogs that are being bred and raised for human companionship. Dogs are bred at a greater frequency than they naturally should be, which creates health problems for both the mothers and their offspring. Housing conditions at puppy mills are almost unilaterally overcrowded, and dogs may live outdoors entirely exposed to the elements. Dogs that come from puppy mills often experience social problems. Because of the cruelty that prevails at puppy mills across the country, animal rights groups work diligently to promote new legislation the ban inhumane practices at puppy mills.
Sonography has also out shined other related healthcare fields by 18 percent. Also, as the large population of baby boomers continues to age and requires more medical care, sonography seems to play a significant role in diagnosis and treating conditions. Ultrasound technician employment in excess of 33,000 jobs, hospitals tend to be the
