Primary Care Observation
I spent my time observing Dr. Paul Michael Petty in the emergency room at St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe. I was able to follow him around and see many different small procedures and exams being done on various patients. Since it was the emergency room, I was exposed to many different areas of the medical field each time. My desire to serve in primary care was strengthened as I saw the need that he met in the Monroe community.

    Medicare Under Observation Summary

    In the article Medicare Under Observation, it is mentioned how unfair and ineffective the Affordable Care Act is for senior citizens in the United States. The article emphasizes on a letter written by a Medicare beneficiary who recently had gone to the emergency room to get treatment for a urinary tract infection and ended up having to stay for hours only to be told he was not going to be able to go home and he was being admitted into the hospital for observation which he claims that under the Affordable Care Act law Medicare will not pay anything on. This left him very puzzled and wondering how come he needed to stay over a period of two to three days. This being the case, he would have to be responsible for paying this medical bill in full…

    Goal and North Belt Medical

    It’s amazing how much I’ve learned in the past eight months at Fortis Institute. It’s just so hard to believe that less than two weeks we will be done with my education. I must admit I will miss spending my time here. But most of all I will never forget the experience I received as an Intern Medical Assistant working with Patients. 
Making a difference in someone’s life just fascinates me, knowing that I have the power to help someone. Working at North Belt Medical Clinic as a Medical Assistant intern is one of the greatest life experience. I will not trade it in for any other work field. Becoming an assistant also supplies knowledge of the most intimate interactions of the natural processes, giving a glimpse of processes that are not easy to understand. At this Center the patients are Diabetes related. As I spend more time as an intern at this Clinic I was inspired by Dr. Willie Harrison who helped and gave hope to many of these people, had myself raise some questions on the concepts and wonder what it would be like to be a part of the North Belt Medical team or somewhat relate to this field. I believe that Medical Assistant program classes at Fortis Institute help gave me an opportunity to pursue my passion for helping those with medical problems and let me feel at ease on the first hand training at the North Belt Medical Clinic. At the North Belt Medical Clinic I learn to Answering phones and making appointments ordering supplies, greeting patients, pulling and filing patient charts, calling in or faxing prescriptions, converting charts to electronic charting. Hopefully I can take these skills I learn and better myself in life.…

    Personal Narrative: My Goals For Pregnancy

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

    Primary Care Physician

    Today, the United States is facing a shortage of about 16,000 primary care physicians and this number will continue to grow by 2025 (Amirault, 2014). Primary care physicians (PCPs) are the doctors who focus on overall health and offer the treatments and preventive screenings that save lives. A physician shortage is a situation in which there are not enough providers to treat all patients in need of medical care. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has long pointed out that the shortage of primary care physicians will be a major setback for the American healthcare system advancing (Amirault, 2014). The shortage of primary care providers presents a serious problem for many healthcare organizations, and one that cannot be easily fixed. Throughout this paper, the contemporary health care issue of the shortage of primary care physicians will be further discussed, as well as its challenges and its impact on health care organizations from a business perspective.…

    Medicare Observation

    Thank you both for your comments. As you have both mentioned the Medicare rule for observation is very complex and confusing. The intention of the rule is to set clinical criteria for observation, and rapidly discharge the patient in twenty-four hours. However, this does not always happen. Some observation patients can stay up to ninety-six hours before being discharged or switched to observation status. One of the problems is individual health care organization interprets the Medicare rule differently. Then if the patient had a managed care Medicare carrier, the rules may be different. This makes observation status for an organization nightmare to manage (Hockenberry, Parlato, & Ross, 2014). What I find even worse, observation increases the…

    Essay On Nursing As A Career

    Much has happened since I graduated from the School of Public Health in 1986. I achieved my dream of working in a hospital setting when I secured my first job as a Management Accountant at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro. There I especially enjoyed developing relationships with managers from many departments as I assisted them with financial reports and budget information. Although I aspired to have enough experience one day to be eligible for an administrative role in a clinical area, my job provided a great opportunity to learn about the inner workings of the…

    Home Care Observation

    Working in the field of Human Services with people who are clinically diagnosed with mental illness and substance abuse, who are seeking employment from an office setting is entirely different from working with people with developmental disabilities in their homes. As my place of employment provides services to both population in different settings, I had to observe the difference of supporting the individuals in a home setting. I reviewed the schedule provided for the day, data collected (that had to be recorded throughout the second shift of my presence), interviewed with shift staff and manager, and the residents of the group home. From this experience, it is clear that working in this field while in an office setting, is completely different…

    Anesthesiologist Personal Statement

    When I was a young child, I witnessed my sister receiving stitches on her head. We were jumping on my bed when she fell and hit her head on the headboard. I was inspired by the medical professionals who treated her. Although this was a traumatic experience, it helped shape my aspiration to help others. Serving and improving the lives of others is a fundamental duty that I believe should be a part of everyone’s personal mission. Working in healthcare is the path that I discovered as an ideal way to accomplish this goal of service. In particular, I intend to eventually become an anesthesiologist where I will assist patients during medical procedures.…
