Researchers study it to find better ways to prevent illness and treat conditions.

For example a doctor may take blood pressure and the heart rate of a patient and use it to find a treatment. Another reason why research is useful to Health and Social Care is highlighting gaps in provision. The Health and Social care needs of the community can rise and fall. Government and local authorities then use research to gather data on a local and national scale. They use this research to monitor that the services provided are acceptable.
The patients who had a positive screening would then proceed with a surgical diagnostic procedure by their Physician. The conclusion of the random study was that the ratio of surgeries done, compared to the positive screened patients was high. Also, most of the positive screened cases ended up being late stage cancer. Although this clinical trial correlates with the 2010 USPSTF recommendations against routine ovarian cancer screening, the entire effect of screening to decrease mortality is not yet known.

Recently a new bill was passed (H.R. 3962), which took an important step forward to health care reform. The bill includes a public health insurance option it also prevents insurance companies from discriminating against people with preexisting sicknesses, and bans insurers for dropping people just because they get sick.

Reinhardt tackles the misconception of why American health care cost so much.
Executive Summary This is a service quality management report using The North County Breast Screening Unit (NCBSU) as a case study. NCBSU taking part in the NHS drive to reduce the high mortality rates of breast cancer patients, screens patients for early detection and treatment. The unit serves about half a million residents and screens about 77% of the population responding to invitation; the centre sets achievable standards of 75%. A survey to quantify the quality of service delivery and to identify areas for improvement was carried out. In order to fully analyse and identify gaps in the quality of service provided by NCBSU, a discussion on definition of quality was done, it was concluded that quality may not have a single definition, however through secondary research, it was established that quality is meeting and perhaps surpassing customer’s expectation.
