As to where an RN can work in a wider variety of settings, from doctors’ offices, to nursing homes and care facilities. RNs can also use their training to choose a certain area of medical specialties like cardiovascular, labor and delivery and many others. Being an RN involves a bit more hands-on work with the patients. In an office setting an RN will assist the doctor by taking detailed descriptions of symptoms from patients, as well as keeping medical histories up to date. The Scope of Practice between a RN and an LPN is clearly defined by the licensing board and bi-laws set by the employer of each state.
Nature of work Core tasks for a LPN are to help provide medical treatment to patients. Some examples of that would be, bandaging up wounds, or giving medication, helping a patient get bathed or dressed. Being a LPN working in an assisted living home you might have to help someone walk or eat. Maybe you work in a hospital and you’re someone who’s monitoring someone, and you’re taking a report on their changes. Usually their main jobs are to take and record vital signs, such as weight, height, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate.
E., & Moore, J. (2007), a large number of studies in many markets over many years have consistently shown that medical care managed and financed through an HMO costs 10 to 20 percent less than under indemnity insurance. Most of the savings are due to two factors; the ability to obtain lower prices by contracting for large volumes of hospital, physician, laboratory, and pharmacy services, and a substantial reduction in the number of hospital days per 1,000 enrollees. The reduction in hospital days is somewhat offset by a greater use of ambulatory physician services and outpatient surgery among HMOs, but because these substitutes are less expensive than inpatient services, overall dollar savings are realized even when the quantity of services used stays the same or increases. Although managed care has been shown to reduce costs, it is probably not the answer to all of America’s health care problems.

Dr.Ray struggle trying to follow the common model used by other physician. He wasn’t able to provide the level of services he wanted to his patients, he wasn’t earning enough, he had to many clients and not enough time for all of them. On the other hand customer had to schedule an appointment days in advance and wait up to 10 days to meet with the doctor. This is an extremely valuable offers to customers since they have less time cost since they can schedule a meeting with a doctor next day or even the same day, decreasing the time spent in the clinic. Patient’s saves energy cost since it reduces the time spent in the waiting room or on the phone trying to reach the doctor.
