Funding Healthcare Services
XYZ Healthcare Organization plays a very crucial role in preventing illness, relieving pain, and promotion wellness and wellbeing of individual through all stages of life. To realize its aims and objectives, the organization needs funding to continue with very sensitive and important services. There are several approaches that can be adopted to ensure funding of healthcare services. These approaches include the use of insurance medical covers by the patients, funding from the government, private sectors and other nongovernmental organization. The burden of healthcare funding should not just be seen as an individual responsibility, but as a collective social responsibility. This paper presents recommendations on how ambulatory, continuum long-term care and mental and behavioral healthcare services should be funded.
Recommendation on how Ambulatory Services Should be Funded Ambulance services play a very fundamental role with regard to the performance of the XYZ Healthcare Organizations objectives especially with regard to the provision of quick, efficient, sufficient, and prompt emergency responses. As such, the ambulatory services funding is very important. The ambulatory services should be funded by the stakeholders of the organization. The services by their very nature play very significant roles and their source of funding should be taken very seriously. The stakeholders including any other interested parties such as the government, the Nongovernmental organization, and likeminded private organizations and private individuals should also come in handy (McHugh & Slavin, 2007). Certain costs should also be met by the patients, although this ought to be just a supplement. One major core principle of the organization is to achieve efficiency and effectiveness with respect to how the medical services are
