...meeting the challenges in medical care © Courtesy of the Kitasato Institute archives In 1921, Terumo Corporation was founded by several medical scientists and doctors, including Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato to produce clinical thermometers in Japan.

...Economic Impact of Providing Medical Care to an Aging Population In today’s world the aging population is rapidly growing, and with falling fertility rates and the constant increase of the human life span, the United States is preparing for the realization that the fastest growing populace is what the nation considers to be senior citizens. For health care organizations any type of demographic change will automatically bring economic and social challenges. Almost 80 million babies were born in the United States from January 1946 through December 1964. This segment of the population is known as the Baby Boomers. In 2011 the first wave of Baby Boomers began reaching age 65, the age of entitlement. Every day from today for the next 16 years approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn age 65 and become entitled to Medicare (www.politifact.com, 2011). With an increasingly older population come the need for a greater number of prescription drugs, a greater number of medical office visits in order to extend the aged quality of life, and a greater need for long term care. 80 million Americans within the next 16 years will receive some form of government funding for health care adding to the already fraught health care economy. Ageing population puts strain on medical costs: Bernanke warns of ‘fiscal crisis’ With more than 10,000 Baby Boomers reaching the age of retirement and Medicare eligibility every day for the next decade and a half the nation’s and states’ government are facing...

...of health care is one. Presidents, state representatives, hospital and insurance executives, and economists have tried to attack this huge deficit. There are several things that can be done in order to reduce rapidly increasing health care spending. Some actions that could benefit the United States economy is the stop of wasteful spending, create a team to control fraud, and give incentives to health care providers. Wasteful spending is one of the number one causes in health care cost. For years private insurers have relied on the police to focus on fraudulent people. Creating a team to focus of wasteful spending and fraud is a start in the right direction. There is wasteful spending within the hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices. Medical fraud is also a problem that the team can focus on. Medical fraud can be fake claims, or payment schemes from doctors. Insurance executives should also be held accountable for their wasteful spending and unnecessary travelling. The money that is saved from wasteful spending can be given to the team for any resources that they need. Under the new health care system, companies will be given incentives when they decide to provide insurance for their employees. Providing incentives for medical facilities and for companies that found creative ways to cut cost is a great way to cut health care cost. There should also be rewards for hospitals that do not turn away patients and provide outstanding medical care. Assistance should...

...January 13, 2014 Introduction There takes a great deal of time, and much planning, when implementing the process of selecting and acquiring an information system (IS) in a health care organization. This process may vary from organization to organization, but still remains highly crucial to the success of the organization. Medical professionals must be informed on the details prior to beginning the process of acquiring an information system, how the organization’s goals drive the selection process and the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process. One of the most important decisions to be made is whether to choose between outsourcing the information system and/or to bring in Information Technology (IT) technicians to work within the organization. The considering organization must ask, “What expense are we willing to spend on implementing this new process and what are the benefits from each choice, outsourcing or in house?” The answers from these two questions will help guide the organization into the correct direction of implementing a new information system. “In the health sector, the incorporation of new medical technologies brings new challenges for IT managers to gather more and more information about patients.” (Correia, Chiodoni, Dalfovo, Silva, Teske, 2013) Goals should be set as to what is wanted and needed out of this new information system.
