This would enable a better understanding of the impact of technology on health and how to extrapolate these best practices to the entire nation home health care service system. VNSNY could use its financial performance and risk mitigation strength as a leverage to continue to innovate in home health care system, and attract not only private sector investors but also state and federal funds. * Larry Whiteside Jr., Chief Information Security Officer of VNSNY has said that “Time is a precious commodity and it is something that you can never get back.” He added that the information system used add time back in his day. There is a leading role for VNSNY to take in the use of technology such as taking digital photos of wounds to email to doctors and using Tele Health monitors to continuously keep track of patients’ vital signs. And once that lead is taken no other organization will be able to compete VNSNY in the home healthcare sector, and that skill will be able to be marketable nationwide.

Introduction With quality, being a big factor in healthcare, patient safety has proven to be one of most pressing health care challenges for hospitals and providers. The Affordable Care Act, which includes policies to help physicians, hospitals, and other caregivers improve safety and quality of patient care, is also intended to make health care more affordable. According to healthcare.gov, Medicare will begin to reward hospitals that provide high quality care for their patients through the new Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program. This means that Medicare will pay hospitals for inpatient acute care services based on care quality, not just the quantity of the services they provide. Changing how payments are made to hospitals for services, there is an expectation that there will be higher quality care for all hospital patients.
How Health Care Has Changed The changes within health care are now having an effect on consumers and health care providers. The most significant change that has taken place within the health care system is the advancement of new technology. The new technology such as diagnostic, screening techniques, medical interventions, surgical techniques, and techniques for drug delivery has helped health care providers to adequately serve and diagnosis patients.

However, not all of the new technology will successfully emerge into the health care system because it is very costly to implement.

This makes a physician or an organization use a HIE to look up patient information. However, before a physician can look this information up he or she must get consent from the patient. Studies show that American consumers support the use of HIE and that this may lead to better health care still are concerned with his or her privacy and security of his or her health data (Dhopeshwarker et al.
Riordan Manufacturing is already a diverse company with experience in fields such as medical, household electrical (fans), and plastic bottles. Additional diversity would add competencies to their manufacturing base. Merging with or acquiring other businesses would address internal initiatives, such as the initiative regarding the development and sale of complementary medical devices and the extension of design and capability through collaborative co-design. Typical synergies of a merger or acquisition, such as economies of scales where the infrastructure cost and efficiencies of the facilities can be spread among more businesses, increased market power acquiring a larger portion of a given market, or tax benefits can be experienced by Riordan Manufacturing. A merger or acquisition would allow Riordan Manufacturing to depreciate assets gained from the transaction.
