The insurance companies and Medicaid have a set allowable charge for nursing care and supplies. The system is efficient but some clients need more supplies than the allowable billing amount and it leaves the client to make up for the difference. References McCarty, E. (2012, February 20).

Upon receiving a controlled prescription, the pharmacist will also call other pharmacies to check a patient history and then call the patient’s insurance carrier, if one is available, to check even further. This is a very time consuming process that could be made less extensive if the Medicaid lock-in program was a requirement. The doctors would only have one pharmacy to contact and the pharmacy would only have to check their own records to make sure the patient was due for the medication. The lock-in program would allow the doctors and pharmacists to do their job more effectively and use their time more wisely for patients who need genuine

First of all, the hospital possess an orthopedic surgeon on the board of directors, this is an advantage for the knowledge of the importance of the orthopedic center from a professional standpoint. Also having this physician on board will allow recruitment of other orthopedic physicians and physical therapist to be easier due to the fact that his office is opening a branch office near the hospital in approximately three months. This will bring in five new surgeons to the facility and will allow for almost immediate need for the new orthopedic center. Another advantage to the orthopedic center is that another orthopedic branch of physicians are opening an office space adjacent to the facility that will possess six other orthopedic surgeons. These physicians will be in the office space within six months and all are in the process of applying for privileges to the hospital.
Abstract This paper explores how to receive an education and advance within the health informatics career. A variety of sources are combined to show the nature of the job, duties, and the salary you could expect based upon the type and location of the position. The healthcare informatics degree has been specialized over the years because of the increasing demand for credentialed applicants, but research also shows that receiving a degree in information systems and healthcare administration will cover the basic topics needed to start at entry level. Locally, the jobs available are mostly listed separately within information systems and healthcare, but there are a few exceptions where clinics want the truly educated and knowledgeable individual.
Eye surgeries, colonoscopies, and other less invasive surgeries can be done in a hour or two and the patient can go home after recovery instead of staying in the hospital. This frees up hospital beds for the more critical patients. Quality health care also means quality staff; from the clerk who admitts you for your hospital stay or doctor’s appointments to janitor that cleans your room. Each individual is important to the treatment of a patient. A patient coming into a clinic to see the doctor for the first time expects the person at the desk to understand that they are there for a reason, their needs are addresssed in a professional manner.
The program would use case managers and a database tracking system to enhance patient access to regular healthcare services, connect patients to regular healthcare services and help combat logistical interference in getting the right care. Solution: Identification of potential clients: If the patient indicates a basic need (for food, shelter, etc.) during a visit to the emergency department the attending nurse or physician can initiate a referral to the case management program by giving the patient information about the program and placing an order in the chart. The case managers and program director receive weekly reports of these
