As individuals are all different, they can respond to the same situation differently. In the same way, individuals can view and cope with their mental well-being and mental health differently. Someone with a negative view of their own situation may feel that they are to blame or not accept the consequences of their actions, they may find it difficult to deal with their own mental health and well-being. A positive individual may cope better with factors affecting their mental health and well-being. They may deal with their mental state in a more pragmatic way.…
PPO which stands for Preferred Provider Organizations provides patients any provider of their choosing. It is known for PPO plans for patients to take advantage of discounts if they choose inside their network. The downfall with this plan, it can be costly if the patients go out of their network. The insurance company will pay 80% of the insurance and the patient is responsible for the remaining cost 20%. If the patient wants to go out of their network then the insurance company would have to pay half the cost and the patient will be responsible for paying the remaining costs.…
The perspective that I have chosen was the professional autonomy perspective. The reason I picked this one is because of the advantages and what I would look for from a physician’s office. One advantage is the convenient hours the physician’s office has. The hours would be Monday thru Thursday they are open to 8am to 9pm and Friday hours would be 8am to 6pm and Saturday hours would be 8am to 1pm. A lot of patients work till sometimes till 6pm and cannot make it to the doctors till at least 7 or 8pm, also a lot of patients might not be able to make it to the doctors till the weekend if they work late at night. Another advantage…
This is similar to the HMO, it offers a network of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers at a certain rate. The PPO plan gives more flexibility on health care needs. You do not need a Primary Care Physician, and you can go to any specialist without a referral. You can go to any health care professional in or out of network. If you stay in your network you will have smaller copays,and will be fully covered. If you go outside your network you will have higher out-of-pocket costs and run the chance of not being fully covered. PPOs are going to have higher monthly premiums and there will be an annual deductible that has to be…

They also have lower copayments and cover preventive care. The HMO, Indemnity Plan and the PPO require preauthorization on procedures while all five…
Canada is becoming a nation of two distinct groups, the aging and young. Due to the aging population, many Canadians are worried that it will have a negative snowball effect on the economy. Throughout the years, politicians have speculated that the aging population threatens the financial sustainability of Canada’s health care systems (e.g., Robson, 2001; Siegel, 1994). Based on true facts, population aging reduces the amount of personal income tax revenue, which accounts for approximately 30% of our government’s income. Per capita, healthcare costs increase with age, and also as age increases so does the demand for more expensive and longer healthcare treatments. Although Canada’s population is aging, and the effects of the “baby boomers” are taking place, the Canadian government has done a good job in accommodating financially for them since Ontario has recorded its third surplus in a row in healthcare budget. As in the past, this shows that our government is capable of efficiently managing their resources and funds. (Canada, 2012)…

The policy of person-centred care has become a mainstay of efforts to reform health care in the UK. Government policy is now built around this core concept, a major aspect of which is enabling individuals to participate in decision-making about their care at every level. By concentrating on the individual’s wishes and aspirations and placing them at the centre of a ‘planning circle’ the care team can assist with goal setting to ensure their best interests are maintained and the individual’s preferences are considered.…
