A lot of people were seeking treatment, but there was a limited amount of resources because there was no money coming in. Like the headline in “Big Med”, “Restaurant chains have managed to combine quality control, cost control, and innovation. Can health care? (Gawande 2012).” Gawande might talk about how health care could be benefiting patients and those who work in the system. Something that surprised me is that both of Gawande’s article connect.
Required Medicaid Lock-in Program Medicaid is a federal and state funded program for people who can’t afford medical care. Through taxes, Missouri residents currently help pay the medical care for approximately 818,900 patients. Those patients consist of people who legitimately need help and who follow the rules of the system and people who try to cheat the system. Within the Medicaid system is a lock-in program that helps eliminate harmful practices such as medication abuse and the duplication of medical services and treatments. The way the program works is simple.
A good overview of pulmonary edema can be found in The Clinical Manifestations and Assessment of Respiratory Disease by Terry Des Jardins. It’s information is current and up to date but lacks depth. The Jardin’s book is very straight to forward and does not elaborate on the diseases. However, the format is the same throughout making for better undertanding. In Hemodynamic Monitoring, by Rebecca K. Hodges, Kitty M. Garrett, Cynthia Chernecky, and Lori Schumacher, the hemodynamic findings of certain lung diseases are easily accessible but it lacks information on the specifics of pulmonary edema.
Therefore it’s very difficult to communicate closely with each and every employee about any specific concerns they might have. However on the other hand some strengths of this HR structure are that it’s effective compared to other smaller hospitals in the area. Consulting firms have showed Starfish M.H. is in the top of there patient satisfaction scores compared to local and state hospitals. Meaning when patients are ill or hurt they choose to come to Starfish vs. other area hospitals.
I feel that the Pearland Health Center tends to provide the best care under intense circumstances. There are quite a bit of emergency facilities that do not the experience, expertise, equipment, and professional tolerance as do the Pearland Health Center. Usually, other facilities, in intense cases, will just ship a client off to the nearest major hospital in which may be an inconvenience to the client and their loved ones. For example, an emergency facility in Pearland only deals with minor issues, so if a case is major not only will they ship them off to the nearest major hospital but the hospital may be thirty to forty minutes away. I have to say that the Pearland Health Center will at least try to fix the issue before suggesting other
Ungar argues that the government is to blame for their lack of financial support and not the educational institution. Given that Sanford Ungar is the president of a small liberal-arts college, his obvious bias shows when suggesting that small liberal arts colleges are the most rewarding since they have more of a community feel and are usually independent. But, liberal-arts colleges are better in the financial department because they continue to work to expand “need-based financial aid, the net cost of attending” (196). Courtney Umhoefer graduated party from University of Wisconsin and Ohio State University in 2011 with a degree in consumer financial services. The cost of this left her with a student loan balance of $86,000.
With this plan, the patient is able to have the flexibility of choosing their own physician. A claim form is usually sent to the insurance company from the physician with the patient’s information, along with any services provided by the doctor. However, Managed Care is different. This plan is more restricted in regard to physicians and services that are available. Because of having this type of plan, there are low premiums, deductibles, in addition to other charges.
Most private health insurance in America is through employers so both HMOs and PPOs sell to businesses. HMOs tend to be less expensive and more restrictive so not all companies offer HMO plans. (1) communication and relationship management, (2) professionalism, (3) leadership, (4) knowledge of the healthcare system, and (5) business skills and knowledge. HMO allows you to see doctors only within the HMO's network of hospitals. What are your organizations advantages?
Flatbush Ave could afford to lend its convenience in terms of transportation, and also offers increased options in health care facilities. There are also very limited pharmacies within the neighborhood. Both pharmacies closest on either end of my home are a bus commute away. This is very concerning for seniors or people with chronic conditions which may have an imminent situation that requires immediate pharmaceutical intervention. Even the general populace who might suffer from a pressing cold or a nagging headache may be dissuaded to go to the pharmacy due to the distance.
Essay #2 On the general controversy of health care, Peter Singer’s text “Why We Must Ration Health Care” and Michael Moore’s film Sicko both address common concerns of the average American. While these two texts support healthcare, Moore’s film focuses on the basic idea of free unlimited national healthcare while Singer’s text persuades his audience that rationing healthcare by establishing a limit is in everyone’s best interest. Although these two arguments contain both personal experiences and those of outside authorities, the effectiveness of Moore’s use of emotion is greatly decreased when compared to the immense use of statistics throughout Singer’s text. Generally speaking, in all effective arguments, statistics and reasoning are two of the most commonly used rhetorical strategies. Both Moore and Singer use these strategies to support their arguments however, to different extents.
