The article “Will Electronic Medical Records Improve Health Care?” was written by Larry Greenemeier. This article talks about how Electronic Medical Records are helping the health care system, the opportunities and costs, the cost of getting it wrong, and talks about how private your records really are. Electronic Medical Records affect health care in many ways. According to my research Electronic Medical Records reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. Electronic Medical Records contain a patient’s full medical history on a computer or electronic device instead of over paper. This allows primary care providers fast and instant access to patient data that is secured. Because of Electronic Medical Records patients’ medication and health…
The mission of the Veterans Health Administration (VAMC) in Chillicothe, Ohio is to provide exceptional care and to be the provider of choice for all Veterans (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2013). It is necessary for the leaders of the VAMC to have an active marketing and business plan to increase the number of veterans served. Marketing and planning are essential to having resources to meet the future needs of the organization. One planning method to use is the use of the “4 P’s” of marketing. The four P’s consist of price, placement, product and promotion all of which are essential for organizations to evaluate when planning. This paper reviews how the “4 P’s” evaluation of the VAMC can improve the delivery of services to veterans.…
The date of September 11, 2001 is a date that possesses great significance globally. To most, it is remembered as one of the greatest tragedies of Western Civilisation. The Smithsonian Museum and their representation of the tragedy, 9/11, makes apparent how one’s personal experience to a particular situation, fabricates what is considered ‘history’. On the home page, colouring is used in ‘September 11’ in which red is the predominant colour, connotating to bloodshed and suffering. This technique is implemented to shape a saddened response, even to those unaffected by the event. Furthermore, in ‘objects on view: World Trade Centre’, the inclusion of the fire fighter doll, starkly juxtaposing with the other objects on show, heavily evokes empathy through its connotations to a young child, suffering. The empathy drawn from such an object is what is most wholly remembered by those who respond to the site, materializing that individuals understanding of ‘factual history’. Again, one’s interpretation of history is formulated through the ‘Missing Persons Material’. The image constructs a more intimate relationship with the man, and is supplemented by emotive language describing how ‘sadly, Jeff was never found alive’. The emotive language further deepens the respondent’s sense of empathy felt for those affected by ‘9/11’, and generates a deplored perception of what is believed to be history. Finally, one’s personal belief of the history of ‘9/11’ is concreted through the photo of ‘Lorraine Bay’s’ log book in ‘objects on view: Shanksville’. Again, red colouring is strategically implemented by the Smithsonian Museum to evoke feelings of fear, further portraying the agonizing circumstances of the day. The log book provides stronger insight into ‘Lorraine’s’ personal life, strengthening the audiences connection with the individual and engendering the feelings of compassion. It is this evocative presentation of the website…
Martha Bebinger’s National Public Radio broadcast, "Study Finds Online Symptom Checkers Are Only Accurate Half The Time" (July 2015), suggests that although online symptom checkers are sometimes correct, the real solution to the illness takes more than just a potentially correct diagnosis. The author used evidence from a Harvard Medical School study about the accuracy of online symptom checkers, and also some quotes from the people who work for or run the symptom checking websites. The purpose of this broadcast seems to be to inform an audience that even if you think you diagnose yourself correctly by using a website, the website is only a guide to what may be, and a true diagnosis and treatment can only be given by a doctor. The intended audience…
Intermountain Healthcare ("Intermountain" or "IHC") is widely regarded as a successful model of low cost, high quality delivery. The Midwest-based integrated delivery system achieved this reputation by adopting an approach that emphasizes reducing healthcare costs through process-driven delivery quality improvement. The three most important elements of this approach are: 1) the focus on minimizing variation in key processes to enhance treatment quality; 2) a robust clinical information management system which enabled measurement for improvement; and 3) a responsive management structure that effectively seized improvement opportunities. These factors have led to dramatic delivery cost reductions and clinical outcomes that are the envy of other healthcare systems in the U.S. James and Savitz also note that Intermountain has been able to align financial incentives in a way such that "clinicians would not suffer financial harm for doing what was best for patients," but the writers provide few details on this accomplishment (in fact, they seem to indicate that this remains a struggle for the system when they discuss how payment cuts offset operational cost savings).…
I have chosen this particular website because it is relevant to me. TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) is a non-profit organization that specializes in support for those who have lost loved ones in the military. I have not lost anyone in the military, but I am a part of the U.S. Air Force. The website would be useful for my family, god forbid if anything was to happen to me during deployment. I have been serving for less than a year and so far have made the best decision ever in my life.…

The United States has an incredibly complicated and expensive healthcare system. Many health insurers and other organizations across the country have dramatically changed the way they do business in order to stay competitive, especially with the new climate that laws such as the Affordable Health Care Act have created. These organizations have developed new strategies and processes in order to participate in the insurance exchange program and other features of the federal healthcare law intended to make it cheaper and easier for individuals and small businesses to purchase health care (Benson, 2013). This essay discusses how a healthcare organization such as a hospital would develop a comprehensive marketing plan that will allow them to stay competitive and keep growing. Specifically this essay will cover the four Ps of marketing (product, price, place, promotion), the relationship between the hospital’s marketing, its partnerships, and it will discuss the target market and why understanding target market is vital to a successful marketing plan.…
