The population of 65 and older accounts for approximately 13% of our nation’s population, and they account for 24.1% of the total hospital visits (Dychtwald). One reason that the health care industry is such a moneymaker is because Medicare doesn’t generally cover all of the costs of disease prevention and long term care, which can be quite expensive. The percentage of GDP that is spent on healthcare was approximately 17% in 2009, and it is projected to be 19.3% by the year 2019 (Terry).

I also need to take into consideration how much money college is going to require. After I complete the required college courses, I will have to decide on a hospital to work at for a few years, this is called an internship. An internship usually means working with possibly a head nurse, or a nurse who has several years of experience. Someone might say, “Where would I work as a NICU nurse?” I would work where there is a NICU unit, this is usually in a children’s hospital or a large local hospital. I would work 12 hour shifts, 8-10 hour shifts, or even flexible hours.
M2 – describe how three key professionals could be involved in planning support individuals. For this task I am going to pick three key professionals and then describe how they are involved in planning support for individuals. I will include a case study and then how the three professionals are involved in the support process. The three key professionals I have chosen are: * GP * Social worker and * District nurse GP (General Practitioner) The individuals GP would be a main professional involved because they are their main doctor and would be the first person to know about any illness or support that individual needs. A GP would be a t the local doctors and would be where the individuals go to have check ups or when they have a cold and they would go to their GP for a treatment.
Most medical assistants work a 40 hour week. As for educational requirements although several medical assistants are hired with a high school diploma and receive on-the-job training, further education is available. Technical schools offer one-year medical assistance programs, and result in a certificate or diploma. There are three certifying bodies for medical assistants: the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA), the American Medical Technologists (AMT) and the National Health career Association (NHA). The AAMA awards the Certified Medical Assistant certification.
per capita would predict. Some people argue that Americas demographic would explain its much higher health spending, but that is incorrect. Only 13.3% of the USA’s population is age 65 and above, spending 8000 per person compared to Germany, Italy, and Japan with over 20% of this population over 65 spent less than half per person. American’s do buy something with this (extra) spending, and that’s an extremely large administrative overhead. With all this overhead one would think the united states would atleast be among one the worlds top healthcare systems right?
I learned a lot about this career in a short 30 minutes, and have found this assignment to be very helpful in choosing to go into the career. My mentor was born in Alamogordo, New Mexico and graduated from Alamogordo High School. He attended Lubbock Christian University for four years and after graduating, enrolled in the University of New Mexico medical program. At LCU, my mentor took a course to become an Emergency Medical Technician but later wanted to study general surgery. After working as a general surgeon in Phoenix, Arizona for six years, he specialized in orthopedics in Cleveland, Ohio and now works at a sports medicine practice in Alamogordo.
According to the United States Census Bureau, roughly 55% obtain insurance through an employer, while about 10% purchase it directly. About 31% of Americans were enrolled in a public health insurance program: 14.5% (45 million – although that number has since risen to 48 million) had Medicare, 15.9% (49 million) has Medicaid, and 4.2% (13 million) had military health insurance (there is some overlap, causing percentages to add up to more than 100%). The percentage of non-elderly workers with employer-sponsored coverage has been falling, from 68% in 2000 to 61% in 2009, the latest year for which data is available. While the primary cause of falling rates of insurance is the rising cost of health care for employers, the economic downturn since
