patient. This allows the patient to be a stakeholder in their own care plan. The care delivery will make use of information technology. It will also help in linking care across the community and delivering care to the patient at home. Using IT, it will be possible to track the patient in real time as a standard of clinical practice. What this means is that hospital stay will be minimized, because patients can be monitored at home and interventions carried out away from the hospital (CGI GROPU, 2014, p5)
The delivery of healthcare services is fast moving into the home and it… Continue Reading...
and have the highest deductibles; Gold plans are the most comprehensive but also have higher premiums). Currently, 91% of the state’s enrolled participants in healthcare plans receive some sort of subsidy for their healthcare and would likely struggle to pay premiums without financial support (Norris, 2018).
But there was an interesting paradox—although the Trump Administration hoped to weaken the ACA by eliminating federal CSR, it unintentionally expanded access to Floridians. The fact that insurers hiked their premiums so high, as much as 45% on average, meant that as the premium for the benchmark Silver plans rose, so did the number of consumer eligible for subsidies. This expanded the number of consumers in Florida who… Continue Reading...
I. Executive summary
Santé Nou—is a Travel Care Voucher and affordable healthcare plan that offers family members in Haiti access to primary health care. This comprehensive marketing strategic plan should provide a roadmap for the pre-pilot phase with its customer-focused objectives. While many organizations have difficulty communicating and connecting with Haitian consumers both in Haiti and in the United States with Haitian Americans, experience and understanding for this specific target population allows for a thorough representation of what can be done to not only reach this target demographic, but also achieve specific goals.
Those specific goals involve regular primary care visits… Continue Reading...
health issues -- individuals who are particularly susceptible to the unfortunate consequences of fragmented care.
Ex-servicemen with twofold or more healthcare plan qualification typically experience more fragmented healthcare; but, related problematic influences are yet to be properly examined. Some facts indicate veterans who are recipients of care from non-VA as well as VA sources will be more prone to re-admissions to hospitals and to perish in a span of 12 months as compared to those using only VA. However, why such disproportionate mortality occurs is yet to be explained (Bernard, 2016). Medicare/VA dual-eligible former servicemen who have suffered heart attacks and avail themselves of both benefits go through more comprehensive… Continue Reading...
Role of HIT in Healthcare Planning
Healthcare information technology (HIT) is one of the greatest disruptive forces that will affect vision and planning over the next decade. However, regardless of the technology that is developed, it must be supported and executed by hospital leadership to be successful. Currently, research is underway for the use of artificial intelligence, supercomputing, and clinical support systems in the healthcare environment. This research will explore how these technologies are likely to change healthcare in the future, and the role of readership in making the integration of these technologies a… Continue Reading...
it is more challenging and harder to make an estimation of the benefits of healthcare plans owing to the fact that the term is not predetermined but also because the benefits are reliant on health care costs during the period when the care is being provided (FASB, 2017).
SFAS No. 87 indicates the differences between prevailing and past accounting practices for pensions. The most substantial changes to previous practice have an impact on employer's accounting for a single-employer well-defined benefit pension plan, even though some provisions are also applicable to an employer that takes part in a multiemployer plan or sponsors a defined contribution… Continue Reading...
it aids nursing professionals by informing the disorder management and patient care plan. Individuals usually display diverse kinds of surgical or medical issues. Further, social or psychological aspects might impact their adherence to therapy and their recovery (Conducting a Page 85 Psychosocial Assessment). The rationale behind conducting a psychosocial evaluation is: explicitly articulating distinct issues in the individual’s life which may affect his/her psychological or physical wellbeing. In case of Eliza, I would employ the facts outlined in the patient intake document as the basis for carrying out a basic evaluation. The evaluation would encompass the following elements:
- The cause… Continue Reading...
perfect health, had no pre-existing conditions, and had not even utilized his health care plan the previous year. Yet, because of the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act, his insurance premiums tripled.
Point One: The primary reason the Patient and Affordable Care Act should be repealed is because it functions as a justification for insurance companies to exorbitantly raise their insurance premiums (Wahowiak, 2015, p. 2). There was a point in time in which only a certain, finite percentage of the population had high insurance premiumstypically due to previously existent conditions. After the passage of this legislation, everyone has high insurance premiums.… Continue Reading...
Mrs. Margaret Foley's Culturally Congruent, Personalized Nursing Care Plan
Case Scenario Overview
Mrs. Margaret Foley (Maggie) is a 46-year-old Aboriginal female has had an emergency open cholecystectomy. Although the case does not specifically indicate why the laparoscopic surgery was changed to an open procedure, this is common whenever the surgeon has trouble accessing the gallbladder for any reason such as a patient's smaller frame. Furthermore, this has several implications for the length of her stay and her care plan. There are also factors that indicate that Maggie will benefit from a nursing care plan that is attunded… Continue Reading...
systems will evolve to best leverage a global market for their services through shifting to value-based care and placing emphasis on clinical care plans. The growing share of healthcare dollars in the slow-growing or stagnant economy would generate slow wage growth for the healthcare workforce.
However, smart phones and other technologies are expected to create new jobs in this sector through increasing access to point-of-care tools, enhancing focus on mobile health (mHealth), increasing demand for developers of technology-based health platforms, and increasing the need for tech-savvy health workers (Ventola, 2014). Some of the new jobs that may be created to meet new consumer demands to patient-centered care, less hospitalization of the elderly… Continue Reading...
assessment, nurse diagnosis, intervention, care planning, and appraisal (Potter & Perry, 2005). According to Henderson, nurses must work independently whilst coordinating with team-executed therapeutic plans. Nurses are familiar with biological and social sciences for evaluating patients’ 14 fundamental needs. The nurse-patient bonds constitutes a key patient recovery element. In case of seriously ailing patients, nurses serve the ‘substitute’ role. At the recovery stage, they function as ‘assistants’, helping patients regain autonomy. The therapist claims several nursing roles overlap with physician roles (Henderson, 1982). Nurses collaborate with fellow providers for delivering superior-quality patient care. In… Continue Reading...
showed that residents generally defer to relatives and staff and few have formal advanced care planning directives (Bollig, Gjengedal & Rosland, 2015). Healthcare administrators should start mandating advanced care planning directives to avoid legal and ethical conundrums. Moreover, offering patients the ability to plan helps them to psychologically contend with mortality, which can also improve relationships with family members. Extending life indefinitely and for no reason is not necessarily beneficence, just as physician-assisted suicide and passive euthanasia are… Continue Reading...
