Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm GCU Spirituality in Health Care HLT-310v Dr. Meyer December 13, 2014 Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Hospitals have made many changes over the years in their technologies as well as the way that cares are provided for the patients. Technology has changed the way nurses are charting they cares, procedures are performed via computers, and even surgeries are done by computer, which pushes the healthcare professionals to rely on computers. The technology should help make tasks easier for the healthcare field, but with everyone relying on computers if has also caused a shift in the interactions between staff and the clients. This paper will discuss the elements that are combined to create a “healing hospital,” the connections between healing and spirituality, and the significance to include both in the healthcare facilities. There is a great deal that goes into planning a building, especially if it is a hospital.
This meaning of physician conveys a sense of expertise in treatment by drugs or medications, rather than by the procedures of surgeons. Currently, a specialist physician in the United States may be described as an internist. Another term, hospitalist, was introduced in 1996, to describe US specialists in internal medicine who work largely or exclusively in hospitals. Such 'hospitalists' now make up about 19% of all US general internists, who are often called general physicians in Commonwealth countries. This original use, as distinct from surgeon, is common in most of the world including the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries (such as Australia, Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe), as well as in places as diverse as Brazil, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Ireland, and Taiwan.

In my knowledge from class discussion and note taking however, some of the clerical or administrative roles of a hospital unit clerk include client registration, scheduling, billing, health card verification and more. Sometimes, scopes of responsibilities and duties will depend on the type of client care unit, the facility’s policies and organization, and how computerized the hospital is. In any hospital unit, unit clerks play a vital role as the central point for incoming and outgoing communication. The communication responsibilities include, answering the telephone, directing calls and taking messages, paging and locating physicians and other members of the health care team, notifying staff and physicians admissions, transfers discharges and deaths, respond to and direct intercom calls from clients (call bells), act

Durkee (2007) advises the implementation of a medication reconciliation “work group” to facilitate the process. A work group underscores the multidisciplinary nature of healthcare in general, acknowledges the whole patient, and also shows how specialized a function medication reconciliation can be. Typically, “there are at least three disciplines generally involved in the process—medicine, pharmacy, and nursing—with little agreement on each profession’s role and responsibility for the reconciliation process,” (Barnsteiner, 2008). Documentation in the electronic medical record, identification of medication at all points of workflow, and other means of standardized information sharing are

They come to the patient’s home with portable diagnostic equipment and medical supplies, diagnose the patient’s health problems, design a treatment plan, provide medical care, arrange for any other needed health services and coordinate the
Government Healthcare Roles The government has various roles involving health care including delivering care to patients for medical reasons, determining how care will be paid when a patient is billed after services, and state government licensure of hospitals, and federal government oversight of all medical drugs that will distributed to patients. The government’s roles in the health care industry are providers, regulators, and payers. Providers are individuals or facilities that provide health care services to a patient. Provider may include private physical practices, hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice and home health care agencies. Payers are ones that pay for a patient’s medical bill from out of pocket to third party payers.

There are two categories of ambulatory care: Medical institute type settings which are when the visit is done places like hospitals and clinics.
