...Abstract Patients are our primary customers. It is therefore important to measure their health care expectations and strive to meet those expectations 100% of the time. When a patient’s expectations are not reasonable, it becomes imperative to educate so that, over time, reasonable expectations are achieved. Often, perceived medical outcomes are poorly defined and arise from experiences from family and friends. Therefore, an opportunity exists to set the expectation of medical care and subsequent outcomes through education. Patient satisfaction has shown to relate directly to how well the health care team has informed the patient and family of the disease process and its treatment and whether they were allowed to participate in treatment decisions. For quality improvement strategies, health care professionals strive constantly in improving and developing the standards of care. They meet the challenges required of health care providers to be effective leaders who foster a culture and develop partnerships that embrace innovation. Quality delivery As consumer expectations rise, patient care becomes more complex, while resources shrink, leaving hospitals to find extraordinary means to define, organize, and staff quality assurance functions. Improving quality requires a unified hospital consensus about what quality means, who is responsible for it, and how to communicate those quality issues across the institution. Adaptation of a quality management method to organize...

...Evolving Practice of Nursing and Patient Care Delivery Models The Speech Hello, my fello nurses. Thank you for being here at the Summit of Nursing Evolution. My name is Chhay Yann-Ly and I am a nurse. We are living in an era where the United States (US) health care system is going through tremendous changes and challenges, with sky-rocketing health care costs, fragmented and poor quality of care, high volume of aging population, and passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2010. A summary of the PPACA is basically to improve the health care delivery system, expand coverage, and control cost (Democratics Senate Gov/Reform, n. d.). With these changes, comes the evolutionary nursing professional transformation process. This speech is a crash course on the evolving practice of nursing and patient care delivery models. The goal of this speech is to discuss the continuity or continuum of care in relation to accountable care organizations, medical homes, and nurse-managed clinics health care models. Since nursing is the backbone of health care, all of these care delivery models require a robust nursing contribution for success (American Nurses Association (ANA), 2010). The first model is the accountable care organizations (ACO). ACOs is a “shared savings” with Medicare (part A & B). The ACO, according to the ANA (2010), is “a collaboration among primary care clinicians, a hospital, specialists and other health professionals who accept joint responsibility...

...Reimbursement and Pay for Performance University of Phoenix Lori Stemen October 28, 2013 Reimbursement and Pay-for-Performance The United States has gone through some dramatic changes over the last forty years and currently we are in the middle of some additional changes with the Affordable Care Act. Pay-for-performance is intended to improve the efficiency, quality, and the overall worth of health care. The expectation is that these changes will provide to physicians, hospitals and other health care providers with financial incentives to finance improvements and accomplish improved results for the patient. There are positive and negative affects of the pay-for-performance programs, although we can’t predict the future and the outcome of these initiatives, the health care system will definitely feel the pressure to perform with respect to outcome accountability. With the continuous changes of government regulations the pressure to provide reliable high quality health care will increase. Pay-for-performance is the newest regulatory effort in health the insurance industry. Health care providers who participate with the insurance carrier are compensated for meeting pre-set goals for how they deliver health care services. This is an important modification from the fee for service method of payment. Pay-for-performance has been well liked by politicians as well as, Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies. The Affordable Care Act increases the usage of...

...Health Care Organizational Report Health care has been a buzzing topic in the news since the re-election of President Barack Obama. The new changes known as Obamacare states that in 2014, all citizens must be insured, one way or the other. This policy rolled out on October 2, 2013. Today, citizens are urged to log in and search for a health care insurance plan. Although there is much speculation about the pros and cons of this policy, Americans waited in line, made calls, and logged into the health care gov site only to face glitches and delays.

...According to Queensland Health (2012) health services that are initiated, controlled and operated by the indigenous community have the potential to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people accessing the appropriate available services. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHO) such as Aboriginal Torres Strait Islanders Community Health Services Mackay (ATSICHS) provides holistic and culturally appropriate care. This highlights that access to health services, may be affected by a variety of socioeconomic factors, such as low income, unemployment, second-rate housing and also socio-political factors like forced removal from land and/or family. These factors need be addressed to achieve continuous improvement in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders health status. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care services offer clinical care, screening programs, a wide range of preventative health care activities, health-related and/or community supported activities. Queensland Health (2010) focuses on the health status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which acknowledges the significant gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Queenslanders (approximately 10.4 years for males and 8.9 years for females). Community involvement is a founding principle of the World Health Organisation (WHO) 1978 Alma-Ata primary health care declaration (WHO, 2013). A significant reason for community...

...Murphy and Dr Paul Kavanagh, Head of Professional Competence at the Medical Council, explain the implications for health managers. Healthcare is changing. A generation ago, a doctor could complete training equipped with the knowledge and skills to remain fit-for-purpose throughout their career. Developments such as the internet now make it easier for doctors to access ever-accumulating bodies of knowledge from all over the globe which they can use to continually improve patient care. Similarly, patients’ expectations have changed as a result of being able to access an abundance of information about healthcare online. This progression in the doctor-patient relationship has created a need for transparent arrangements to help assure the public that doctors are keeping up-to-date and are committed to lifelong learning and skills development. Prof. Kieran C Murphy In May, the Medical Council will launch new professional competence schemes, which will be operated by Postgraduate Training Bodies. Registered medical practitioners will be subject to a statutory obligation to maintain professional competence. Health service managers will need to take cognisance that, for employed doctors, their employer will have a legal duty to facilitate the maintenance of professional competence. This development will positively impact the quality and safety of healthcare. The Medical Council consulted with a range of stakeholders including doctors and the public on the new professional competence schemes...

...community based, socially responsible and resource conscientious approach to the delivery of wellness within a specific population by a Registered Nurse. The Texas Department of Health’s (April 12, 2011) echoes this concept in their vision statement embracing illness prevention and public health promotion. The focus on the greater-good of the population, as described by Sidorov and Romney (2011, p. 17), does not discount the individual. Indeed, public health promotion and protection may actually advance patient self-care. With a strong community health system, the individual is better able to work within that system to improve their own health status, self-intervene early with many a health exacerbation, and rely on efficient and effective healthcare options (Sidorov & Romney, 2011, p. 17). Examples of Essential Public Health Service Each group member presented very personal accounts of public health services they were exposed to and shared those experiences with the group.

...Lauren Greenberg HCS/440 January 17, 2013 Eric Oestmann, PhD, PT Health Care Spending In 2010, health care spending, or health expenditures in the United States neared $2.6 trillion. That is more than ten times the $256 billion that was spent in 1980. In recent years, the growth rate of spending on health care has decreased in relation to the growth rate during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, it is still predicted to increase more rapidly than the national income over the foreseeable future. Addressing this pressing concern has been, and continues to be a major policy priority. Mainly because the United States has been experiencing a significant recession for much of the past decade. This economic recession has resulted in higher unemployment rates and lower income rates for much of the American population. These tough economic conditions have helped to focus even more attention on health spending and affordability in this country. From 2012 to 2012, employer-sponsored health coverage for family premiums has increased by 97 percent. This has been the cause of increasing financial burdens on both employers and employees. In the public sector, Medicare covers the elderly and people with disabilities, and Medicaid provides coverage to low-income families. Enrollment for these programs has grown tremendously in both Medicare, with the aging of the baby boomers, and in Medicaid due to the recession. This means that the total amount of government spending...

...Organizational Performance Management Each organization within the Health care industry is trying to serve all of its stakeholders in the best possible way. Health care organizations share similar functions and regulatory requirements that help guide them in the right direction to succeed. The struggle with these requirements is the demand it takes to make sure they are hitting each performance level and that everything is within compliance so that the quality of care is met. The best tool is communication, and the key component of the process an organization has adopted to maintain compliance, meet standards, and regulatory requirements, and maintain the company's vision and mission. These five organizations that we have chosen share many similarities and yet there are differences among the five types of organizations chosen; home health, pediatric specialty clinics, Coumadin clinics, cancer treatment centers of America, and nursing homes. These differences and similarities are what help each organization or company run smoothly and meet goals of safety throughout the organization. They do this by monitoring, improving, and communicating to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements. Within the five organizations take two and look at how they are similar and different. The difference between home health care and nursing homes are that one may require a higher level of care deemed necessary by the doctors. Home health care has a doctor encouragement to let the patients...
