    The cost of health care in the United States remains an important concern for American consumers. The challenges for controlling costs and providing a better health care system are various and complex. These challenges, in many cases, are in the realm of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or other federal or state agencies (Department of Justice, 2012). Hospitals continue to team up with other facilities, insurers and for-profit companies, although the cause of the bump in M&A activity varies. While some hospitals cite financial problems, others join forces because of collaboration mandated under the Affordable Care Act and changing reimbursement models, according to Minnesota Public Radio (Caramenico, 2012).…

    * Health care financial environments most common are for- profit, not-for-profit, and government funding. This paper identified one entity from each of these health care financial environments, described the financial structure of each financial environment, identified policies unique to each financial environment, identified financial management practices prevalent in the financial environment, and explained why effective financial management is more difficult in health care than in other industries. The first one is Health Management Associates, Inc. founded in 1977 to own, lease and manage hospitals throughout the United States (Health Management Associates, 2011). Today HMA operates fifty nine hospitals in fifteen states with approximately eighty eight hundred licensed beds. The Company employs approximately thirty two thousands associates and hosts a total medical staff of approximately eight thousands physicians (Health Management Associates, 2011). HMA is a for profit organization with the three key features of investor-owned corporations. First, the owners (the stockholders) of the business are well defined and they exercise control of the firm by voting for directors. Second, the residual earnings of the business belong to the owners, so management is responsible only to the stockholders for the profitability of the firm. Finally, investor-owned corporations are subject to taxation at the local, state, and federal levels (Gapenski, 2008). HMA vision states they will lead the hospital industry in quality, clinical metrics, patient outcomes, and customer service. HMA will achieve top tier in the hospital industry and customer satisfaction for their patients, their physicians, and their associates (Health Management Associates, 2011).…

    I have not always wanted to be a pharmacy tech, I changed my major at least 4 times already. My college years started and stopped a few times since I graduated from high school. I left college the first time and joined the Marine Corps. I served in the Marine Corps for eight (8) years as a Communications Operator. The problem for me there was that I did not want to pursue a career in communications. While I was serving I took some college level course and that is where I went through two of my four college major changes. Some might see that as indecisive, I saw it as trying to find the right fit for me. I have since gotten out of the military and went back to school, since I have begun this new path in my education I have also changed my major twice. I went back to school…

The tasks of pharmacy technicians have changed in means of procedures, responsibilities, and restrictions.…
