This is a summary of the past work done throughout this course, the content in this paper is mainly derived from the work in the papers that follow. In the first assignment APHI Consultancy Orientation Form, it gave me a brief introduction into what the project for the course was going to be. I picked the Medical Liaison because I thought it would be interesting to explore the different ways healthcare was made efficient in the region I chose of California. That then led into my first paper for the class which was The Limits of Healthcare. In that paper, I looked at the trends of physicians in the state such as numbers, salaries and hospital distribution, and if increasing then in the way it was done in the past should be done. I concluded that that course of action should not be taken because it would strain the healthcare system further and give the hospitals an unfair monopoly.…
In countries like Japan, the government has been working together with its citizens to help with healthcare costs without any hesitation. According to “The Lancet” (2011), "In healthcare the government overtime succeeded in changing the basis of medical practice from Chinese to Western medicine. Moreover the transition was achieved without minimal cost and limited social disruption [ The same social compliance can be…
Given the reforms in the healthcare system, providers of health care will have to face severe pressure. John Hopkins, being among the Critical Access Hospitals, will have to overcome such pressures through its structure. The health care system structure is often affected by the establishment of health insurance. Health insurance and the existing trend towards health care, that is effectively managed, separate financial flow from the correlation between physicians and patients. In the current health care systems, health practitioners or physicians are directly paid for offering their services. As a result, payments made by clients to doctors do not take into consideration the costs of medical services. On the contrary, regular payments are made by employers to their Medicare, health plans, and insurance companies. Ideally, the payment is via electronic transfer from the banks. Some payments are often deducted from the salaries of an organization’s…
Throughout the early 1980’s and 1990’s the Federal Medicaid program was challenged by rapidly rising Medicaid program costs and an increasing number of uninsured population. One of the primary reasons for the overall increase in healthcare costs is the over utilization of hospital emergency rooms. This is a direct result of not having a primary care physician and/or family doctor who is the main source of healthcare delivery for an individual and/or entire family The traditional Medicaid program does not offer, or require, recipients to choose a primary care physician like, its counterpart, Medicare. Medicare still operates under the traditional fee-for-service methodology and does not require beneficiaries to identify and primary provider as well as having direct access to specialty services. This allows a cost sharing approach which results in higher out-of-pocket expenses and does not cover drug or prescription benefits.…

Over the past hundred years, there have been several changes to the healthcare profession. A change from just being happy to care for one’s patients day or night to “you have to have money and insurance for me to treat you.” Gone are the days that one could walk into a hospital and not have to worry about how he or she was going to pay the bill, gone are the days that having insurance was one’s own choice, and gone are the days that choosing one’s personal doctor was by whom a person liked and not by who accepted one’s insurance.…
Collaboration refers to the processing of information necessary for the healthcare team to treat a patient. This can be achieved by having all members of the health care team relay important facts regarding a patient’s status (Apker et al., 2006). Credibility deals with how an individual presents their knowledge to other members of the team. This includes speaking with confidence and respect while adjusting how one communicates with different professionals, patients or families (Apker et al., 2006). Using consideration and caring for other members of the team falls under the category of compassion. This is where a team member is expected to exhibit verbal and nonverbal communication respectfully while advocating for team members and patients…

The United States, as a leading developed country, is very attractive to many foreigners. Everyone dreams of coming to the United Sates to study or work. However, they are concerned about their health care while stay in the United States. The health care system in the United States is problematic. It is so extensive and complicated that it is almost impossible for the government to make everyone satisfied. Reformation of health care occurred many times in the history. President Bill Clinton tried to overhaul the health care system and failed. Before Clinton’s failure it had been Carter’s. Before Carter’s it had been Nixon’s.…
The United States has a unique system of health care delivery. It is unlike any other health care system in the world. Most developed countries have national health insurance programs run by the government and financed through general taxes. Almost all citizens in such countries are entitle to receive health care services. Such is not the case in the United States, where not all Americans are automatically covered by health insurance. (Shi & Singh, 2008)…
As global stratification has resulted in different levels of industrious nations, healthcare has been impacted as well. Wealthy nations that are industrialized are capable of creating an excellent healthcare system that provides for themselves, whereas the least industrialized nations “have neither the trained surgeons nor the money to buy the technology (Henslin 549).” Also, capitalism tends to support the wealthier individuals because they “are the ones who make decisions about how the health care system will be run (OpenStax 2016).” The poor do not have the power or the money to use the commodity of capitalistic healthcare. This is not the only aspect of the conflict perspective on healthcare. Monopolizing U.S. health care has become a way of controlling who can be doctors, and how doctors will be paid. The American Medical Association, or AMA, gained a monopoly that allowed them to pass laws to prohibit certain individuals from attaining a medical license. “A sort of priesthood of medicine (Henslin 552)” developed, creating an elite group who have complete control over the medical field. Only these members have the power to diagnose and treat ill individuals. These two ideas collide to create conflict within society. If only a select group of individuals are allowed to practice medicine, and the poor are unable to afford to support these specialized individuals, then the health care for the less fortunate will be minimal, if not nonexistent. Conflict theorists emphasize that this conflict, rather than the individual, causes a social problem within…
The unfortunate condition of the health care system in the US has grabbed the attention of policy makers and most of the population of the country. Although many have benefitted from the advancement in medicine, technology and communication, the recent economic downturn has put a lot of strain on the delivery of health service that many still suffer from underinsurance, lower commensurate of health service and the inability to access health care. Then the government did something. By mandating the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, the government fundamentally changes the health care system in the United States. The most important measures addressed by the law are: expansion of the Medicaid to cover the nation’s poorest, requiring all US citizens and legal residents to have health insurance, regulating health plans in the market to cover individuals regardless of health status or pre-existing conditions, and greater support for wellness and prevention of diseases.…
