Healthcare System ( Shs ) Is A Not For Profit Health System
Smithson Healthcare System (SHS) is a not–for–profit health system which serves the greater community of Newland County and other rural satellite
counties within the state. In 2013, SHS unfolded a new heart clinic located at their Smithson East hospital as a tactical response to some disturbing
outcome data and the evolving healthcare environment. The clinic's purpose was to improve outcomes for patients with a primary diagnosis of heart
failure and respond to reimbursement changes associated with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). After three years of aggregating data on the operating
performance of the heart clinic, an evaluation of the impact and success of the clinic is required. This analysis will offer conclusions and suggestions
that will influence the future of the heart clinic's vitality for consideration to Smithson East's Chief Operating Officer (Chelsea Rigland) and its senior
staff. Financial Information: The document severely lacks pertinent financial information for the three years of operation of the heart clinic. Besides
some minimal information of mean revenue and expenses for 2011, the document neglects to offer any other valuable financial information for
consideration. This section can be further expanded with details of an income statement, balance sheet and current statement of cash flows. Financial
statements can be a healthy management tool to illustrate the success of operating performance to appropriate stakeholders and their constituents.

One of the key differences between the US health system and Cuba health system is that Cuba focuses on preventing diseases rather than treating the
diseases. And everyone will be having family physician and nurses. For the Cuba health system there are no private hospitals, all hospitals and clinics
are controlled by the government and people are given access to the system without any cost. Every patient are visited by the family physician at home
once in a year, one with chronic disease will be visited frequently. If it is necessary patients are referred for specialty evaluation, but after the evaluation
they will come back to the community team for ongoing treatment.
This prevention orientation structure has produced positive result for the Cuba. Vaccination rates in Cuba is the highest in world. The infant mortality
rate fallen from 80 per 1000 live births to 5 per 1000, lower than US.

Health Systems And The Health System
From my point of view, I believe that the health system is facing a hindrance in providing value to the patient. The inability to provide high quality, low
cost health care is now a double edged sword in our industry. In a time where reimbursements are made on the patients perceived quality of their
treatment, the organization can no longer afford to run the business off of the volume of patients seen. Moving forward, I believe that there are many
changes that can be made, both internally and externally, throughout the health system to successfully implement patient centered care, which would
enhance our value chain. Based on the following recommendations, I believe that the cost savings, or revenue generated, would impact the health
system substantially. Currently we are receiving a 1% penalty on a section of outpatient physician practices. This proposal would allow for us to
cease paying a 1% penalty, and also allow for us to receive possible incentive payments for striving to create a high quality at a low cost. To fulfill my
proposal, the entire health system would need to be educated, and willing, to make changes in their daily routines. In a small community hospital
where culture and politics often predict outcomes, this would have to be a task that bypassed these factors. The clinical staff will have will impact the

health care systems are highly different from each other and how the services are financed, organized and given to the citizens.
In Canada, healthcare comes from the 'Single payer system' (Canadian health care system, 2013). Single payer is known to be quite normal in many
other countries, for example, New Zealand. It is basically a publically funded system that is provided by the provincial governments through taxes with

Most of all the U.S. citizens need a more privately owned insurance to cover the cost of medical care services. Group health insurance purchased by
employers were introduced originally during World War II, when wages froze it caused employers to offer benefits such as a way to compete for
workers. Nearly every amend since the early 1970s has desired to grow this concept of things. There are now currently more than 1200 privately
owned insurance companies in America. Public insurance is provided for the poor that can't afford good healthcare (Medicaid) and for those over age
sixty–five (Medicare). The Medicare system administers medical coverage for those who are at the age 65 and older. In addition, younger people
with disabling illnesses or injuries are suitable for Medicare coverage. Those who are under age 65, but do not have health insurance are too poor
to afford it and are eligible for medical coverage through Medicaid. Medicare is financed by federal income taxes, while Medicaid is funded by a
blend of state and federal taxes. Medical insurance for those who can't seem to get it anywhere else is actually paid for by the more prosperous
citizens, basically the rich and well paid citizens. It is paid not directly, but through work and taxes that they pay

In the United States, there are three basic systems in which healthcare are financed: private insurance, public insurance, and uninsured. Within private
and public insurance, there are several different types of plans that assist in financing health care. Private health insurance utilizes various healthcare
providers to provide cost–sharing in receiving healthcare services through benefits provided by employers or for premiums (Shi & Singh, 2015). Some
examples of healthcare providers are commercial insurance companies, self–insured businesses, and managed care organizations (Shi & Singh, 2015).

This type of insurance is financed through governmental entities for the elderly, disabled individuals, low income individuals or families,
underprivileged children, Native Americans, and military members and their families (Shi & Singh, 2015). Depending on the services, individuals
may be required to pay a co–payment dependent on the program and the financial abilities of the individual or family (Shi & Singh, 2015). The
advantage of public health insurance is providing high–risk individuals and their families or veterans and their families with health insurance plans for
health care services at a discount or gratis. Many high–risk individuals and their families would not be able to afford health care services because of
the lack of income or ability to work. Also, one of the benefits of serving in the military is the health care supported by the government for protecting

Statistically better risk–adjusted outcomes for the elderly are associated with better–performing teams with regard to interdisciplinary health care
management when considering a program. This of course means that implementing such teams is not as much of a principle importance as making
sure those teams are performing well. This includes providing a robust program with diverse services in place at elderly care centers to meet the many
multifaceted healthcare demands of the elderly population. While less progressive, PACE programs when compared to less restrictive designs are
associated with significantly less utilization of hospitals and emergency rooms (Mukamel et al., 2007). Simply put, if a healthcare organization utilizes
PACE as part of their healthcare management for the elderly population they will reduce healthcare costs on their health system by reducing the number
of admissions to the emergency room and hospital respectfully. This saves money by reducing the likelihood of null reimbursement for hospital
acquired conditions in elderly patients that may occur during their hospital stay. Recently, Medicare stopped reimbursing hospitals for avoidable
conditions that can occur while a patient is admitted to a hospital. This can include things like foreign objects left inside patients after surgery, various

The Health Of A Health Care System
A health care system is a framework of interrelated, interacting, and interdependent descriptions of human development in a given country, region, or
community. This system of human development functions as an organized measure to promote and provide treatment in which individuals reach their
highest attainable level of physical, mental, and social well–being. All health care systems are grounded in the concept that genetic and biological
factors must be taken into account to understand the problems and behaviors of a specific population. The interconnected factors that determine an
individual's health status includes personal features, social status, culture, environment, educational attainment, health behaviors, childhood
development, access to care, and government policy. International collaboration of ideas on the progression of transnational health is greatly endorsed
for the benefit of complete global health care. Health care has social, governmental, and financial implications that affect all members of the health care

In health and medicine, the advancement that has been accomplished in recent years with the benefit of information technology is highly significant.
The growing influence of ICT in health has also led to the development of vibrant and robust health information systems and their management. As
time, distance and place are becoming less relevant among individuals and institutions', having a robust health information system is a crucial part of a

Health Informatics And The Health System
What is health informatics in Canadian health system? Health informatics transforms health care by assessing, analyzing, integrating, and applying
health communication and informational systems (Anderson, 2007). Health informatics schemes are funded federally and implemented provincially in
Canada with each province creating its own dynamic programs to help improve both the population and individuals health outcomes, enhance patient's
care and to strengthen the patients–caregiver relationship (Anderson, 2007) . Such programs are Ehealth Ontario, and Alberta Netcare. Electron
Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Medical Records are usually used exchangeable (Gartee, 2011). EMR servers as a data source for EHR; it
usually contains patient's medical records and usually found in an ambulatory or acute health facilities. While EHR is the sum of the entire patient's
life history of his or her health records from different sources, which is usually kept in an institution such as an integrated delivery network facility
where most health care providers can guarantee access (Gartee, 2011). This literature review is intended to amalgamate the key barriers of electronic
health records in the Canadian healthcare system and to overcome these barriers for a successful implementation among the public and policy makers.

Brazil Health System
Federative Republic of Brazil has an area of 8.5 million square–kilometers, which is slightly smaller than the US, and makes it the fifth largest country
in the world (The World FactBook [WFB], 2015a). It has a population of about 204.3 million (WFB, 2015a). As the South America's largest economy,
the gross domestic product (GDP) of Brazil is about $2.353 trillion and the GDP per capita is around $16,100 in 2014 (WFB, 2015a).
In Brazil, the health expenditures, which is the total expenditure on health as a percentage of GDP is 9.7%, ranking 31 in the whole world in 2013
(WFB, 2015a). There are 1.89 physicians per 1,000 population, and 2.3 beds per 1,000 population (WFB, 2015a). Brazilian's life expectancy at birth is

The Interdependence Of The Health System
Health system is defined as "all activities whose primary purpose is to promote, restore, and maintain health" (WHO, 2000). All activities in the
"system" can be assumed as an organization of components and their interconnections that work together for a purpose, which is concerned with
people's health. In other words, a system has many parts as a set of interrelated components to achieve a common goal (Shi & Singh, 2014). The
interdependence of the health system can be regarded as the functions and roles played by these components (The World Bank, 2007). Describing the
components, interdependence, and purpose, Roemer (1991) defined a health system as "the combination of resources, organization, financing and

A strong belief in capitalism has led to health care being viewed as an economic good or service, not as a public resource. In other words, health is
viewed as a privilege, not as a right. This has led to the fee–for–service being the principal model of payment, which has uncontrolled utilization,
uncontrolled prices and payments. Capitalism has also led to the belief that each individual and business particularly in private sectors try to manipulate
financial incentives for their own benefits without considering the effect on the system (Shi & Singh, 2014).
Values and beliefs do not only influence in shaping the entire health system, but they also influence the other system within the systems framework
such as system resources especially human resources (health service professionals) and system processes especially the way of healthcare delivered
to people. For instance, health service professionals' cultural and value backgrounds may affect the way they perform health care services. Part of
their values as professionals is shaped not only by their academic experiences, but also by their cultures and beliefs. Since cultural and social factors
between patients and health service professionals are not always the same, it is important to take into

Health Insurance And The Health Care System
According to Martocchio (2014), health insurance covers the costs of a variety of services that promote sound physical and mental health, including
physical examinations, diagnostic testing, surgery, dental treatments, and corrective prescription lenses for vision deficiencies. More than two
centuries ago, the presence of the health care system emerged when mining and railroad companies hired doctors to provide medical services to their
employees. As a result of the catastrophic World War I, many health providers were left providing services with the prospect of not receiving
payments for the services being rendered and many Americans faced with the financial burdens of these escalating health care costs. The essential for
the development of a health care system was not established for no apparent reason. The health care system was developed due to the staggering
number of Americans whom where unable to pay soaring medical bills.
With no government intervention, the private sector of health insurance was established as a means for Americans to pay medical expenses. "In 1927,
the American Medical Association (AMA) formed a Committee on the Costs of Medical Care to report on options for helping Americans pay for their
medical services. The Committee concluded that private insurance was the best solution" ("HNN's History of Healthcare Reform", 2012). This
empirical succession is what commenced the evolution of health care in the United States.

We first have to define what horizontal integration is? "According to Shi and Singh (2015) is a growth strategy in which a healthcare extends its
delivery core product or service". The way horizontal integration is obtained by is internal development, acquisition or merger. Organization can be
linked horizontally closely, through ownership or alliances. Horizontal integration mainly focuses on controlling the distribution of certain type of health
services in an area. Some examples of the focus are multihospital chains, nursing facilities chains or chains of drug stores all under the same name and
management. Diversification of new products or services is not reaching within horizontal integration Shi & Singh (2015).
An example of horizontal integration is the Carolina's Health Care Systems. This was founded in 1940. It is the nation's leading and most innovative
healthcare organization. They provide a full variety of healthcare and wellness programs throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. They have

Health Service System : A Market Based Health System
Background
Health service system as defined by "Roemer" in the text is the pooling of resources, organizations, financing, and management that aggregates to the
delivery of health services to the needs of a population (Barton, p.3).
Demographics
Health service in most cases is crafted by the economic and social values systems of each respective country . It contributes to a countries economic
GDP(gross domestic product), by creating various areas of employment opportunities, examples including and not limited to the delivery of medical
services, research and development of new drugs for the treatment of various ailments, insurance services to name a few (Barton, p.3).
Statistics
As stated in the text, the United States provides a market based health system. Not until recently, the majority of the population could only access the
insurance market through an employer based system. The ability to acquire insurance or gain access into the market outside of this medium was, in
most cases, exorbitant for the average citizen. Nevertheless, government assistance programs like Medicare and Medicaid were made available to
certain demographics of the population who qualified for these programs, such as citizens from the age of 65 and above, expecting mothers, as well as
newly born infants. The rest of the population demographic 18–44 which consist of the highest number of uninsured, is left to either attain insurance

al., 2011). Health service accessibility by individuals in rural and remote areas is a problem central to both countries. Reports indicate that compared
with metropolitan populations, non–metropolitan populations, in both Australia and the UK, experience poor access to health services (Watt, Franks,
Sheldon, 1994, p. 16). As in the primary care sector of the UK, majority of the doctors in Australia are self–employed and reimbursed on a
fee–for–service approach (Gillies, 2003, p. 77). GP's are the initial point of contact for patients in both Australia and the UK. Additional specialist
medical services such as physiotherapy and optometry are only available when patients are provided with a formal referral from their GPs

academic traditions to describe the processes, actors, and dynamics that shape systems like the health system(1). It is more than simply considering the
bigger picture. Approaching a problem from a ST perspective involves examining interrelationships, considering all perspectives, and understanding the
role of boundaries (Williams and van 't Hof 2014:8).

strong health system has emerged as a priority for many countries. Furthermore, understanding the major components of the health system, and
identifying main constraints, are two crucial steps in attaining key health outcomes. This paper discusses the health system of the Philippines using the
WHO's Building Blocks. The Philippines is a group of islands located in Southeast Asia with a total population of 96 million. The Life expectancy of
male is 69 and female is 72 years, with significant variations between regions. The leading causes of deaths include communicable diseases such as

gross domestic product (GDP) is US$ 159.3 billion. (Romualdez, 2011). The country's health reforms have had some success, notably a reduction in
maternal and child mortality. Nevertheless, the country continues to register poor health status, and registers significantly high out–of–pocket (OOP)

Healthcare System ( Shs ) Is A Not For Profit Health System

  • 1. Healthcare System ( Shs ) Is A Not For Profit Health System Smithson Healthcare System (SHS) is a not–for–profit health system which serves the greater community of Newland County and other rural satellite counties within the state. In 2013, SHS unfolded a new heart clinic located at their Smithson East hospital as a tactical response to some disturbing outcome data and the evolving healthcare environment. The clinic's purpose was to improve outcomes for patients with a primary diagnosis of heart failure and respond to reimbursement changes associated with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). After three years of aggregating data on the operating performance of the heart clinic, an evaluation of the impact and success of the clinic is required. This analysis will offer conclusions and suggestions that will influence the future of the heart clinic's vitality for consideration to Smithson East's Chief Operating Officer (Chelsea Rigland) and its senior staff. Financial Information: The document severely lacks pertinent financial information for the three years of operation of the heart clinic. Besides some minimal information of mean revenue and expenses for 2011, the document neglects to offer any other valuable financial information for consideration. This section can be further expanded with details of an income statement, balance sheet and current statement of cash flows. Financial statements can be a healthy management tool to illustrate the success of operating performance to appropriate stakeholders and their constituents. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Most of the frequent visitors and people with chronic diseases, usually they spent half the day consulting people in office and other half for the home visit.

And everyone will be having family physician and nurses. For the Cuba health system there are no private hospitals, all hospitals and clinics are controlled by the government and people are given access to the system without any cost. Every patient are visited by the family physician at home once in a year, one with chronic disease will be visited frequently. If it is necessary patients are referred for specialty evaluation, but after the evaluation they will come back to the community team for ongoing treatment.

These programs give incentive payments to eligible professionals, hospitals, and critical access hospitals (CAHs) that implement or upgrade to a certified EHR (Wager 8). An additional incentive is received if we can demonstrate "Meaningful Use" of interoperable electronic medical records. The concept of electronic health records–meaningful use (EHR–MU) [8] implements the provisions of the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) of 2009 that provide these type of incentives.

  • 5. Health Systems And The Health System From my point of view, I believe that the health system is facing a hindrance in providing value to the patient. The inability to provide high quality, low cost health care is now a double edged sword in our industry. In a time where reimbursements are made on the patients perceived quality of their treatment, the organization can no longer afford to run the business off of the volume of patients seen. Moving forward, I believe that there are many changes that can be made, both internally and externally, throughout the health system to successfully implement patient centered care, which would enhance our value chain. Based on the following recommendations, I believe that the cost savings, or revenue generated, would impact the health system substantially. Currently we are receiving a 1% penalty on a section of outpatient physician practices. This proposal would allow for us to cease paying a 1% penalty, and also allow for us to receive possible incentive payments for striving to create a high quality at a low cost. To fulfill my proposal, the entire health system would need to be educated, and willing, to make changes in their daily routines. In a small community hospital where culture and politics often predict outcomes, this would have to be a task that bypassed these factors. The clinical staff will have will impact the most change, but all of the support staff will need to take action for the plan to be successful. Although initially the proposed action to increase ...

Most of all the U.S. citizens need a more privately owned insurance to cover the cost of medical care services. Group health insurance purchased by employers were introduced originally during World War II, when wages froze it caused employers to offer benefits such as a way to compete for workers. Nearly every amend since the early 1970s has desired to grow this concept of things. There are now currently more than 1200 privately owned insurance companies in America. Public insurance is provided for the poor that can't afford good healthcare (Medicaid) and for those over age sixty–five (Medicare). The Medicare system administers medical coverage for those who are at the age 65 and older. In addition, younger people with disabling illnesses or injuries are suitable for Medicare coverage. Those who are under age 65, but do not have health insurance are too poor to afford it and are eligible for medical coverage through Medicaid. Medicare is financed by federal income taxes, while Medicaid is funded by a blend of state and federal taxes. Medical insurance for those who can't seem to get it anywhere else is actually paid for by the more prosperous citizens, basically the rich and well paid citizens.

  • 8. Health Insurance System In the United States, there are three basic systems in which healthcare are financed: private insurance, public insurance, and uninsured. Within private and public insurance, there are several different types of plans that assist in financing health care. Private health insurance utilizes various healthcare providers to provide cost–sharing in receiving healthcare services through benefits provided by employers or for premiums (Shi & Singh, 2015). Some examples of healthcare providers are commercial insurance companies, self–insured businesses, and managed care organizations (Shi & Singh, 2015).

This type of insurance is financed through governmental entities for the elderly, disabled individuals, low income individuals or families, underprivileged children, Native Americans, and military members and their families (Shi & Singh, 2015). Depending on the services, individuals may be required to pay a co–payment dependent on the program and the financial abilities of the individual or family (Shi & Singh, 2015). The advantage of public health insurance is providing high–risk individuals and their families or veterans and their families with health insurance plans for health care services at a discount or gratis. Many high–risk individuals and their families would not be able to afford health care services because of the lack of income or ability to work. Also, one of the benefits of serving in the military is the health care supported by the government for protecting the country.

Statistically better risk–adjusted outcomes for the elderly are associated with better–performing teams with regard to interdisciplinary health care management when considering a program. This of course means that implementing such teams is not as much of a principle importance as making sure those teams are performing well. This includes providing a robust program with diverse services in place at elderly care centers to meet the many multifaceted healthcare demands of the elderly population. While less progressive, PACE programs when compared to less restrictive designs are associated with significantly less utilization of hospitals and emergency rooms (Mukamel et al., 2007). Simply put, if a healthcare organization utilizes PACE as part of their healthcare management for the elderly population they will reduce healthcare costs on their health system by reducing the number of admissions to the emergency room and hospital respectfully. This saves money by reducing the likelihood of null reimbursement for hospital acquired conditions in elderly patients that may occur during their hospital stay. Recently, Medicare stopped reimbursing hospitals for avoidable conditions that can occur while a patient is admitted to a hospital. This can include things like foreign objects left inside patients after surgery, various infections, falls, pressure ulcers, and traumas. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

When you retire from service you continue to fight, this time for your own life. When veterans come home some of them suffer from mental illnesses, infectious diseases, or hearing loss just to name a few. You are aveteran that suffers from an infectious disease called leishmaniasis, it is fatal if untreated. You wait for numerous months to get care from the V.A. medical center. Once it is time for your appointment the parasitic disease leishmaniasis has already spread through most of the body. A few weeks later doctors declare you dead, your family is angry at the V.A.health care system because you did not receive health care sooner. The U.S. veteran's health care system fails veterans due to their long wait times but can be fixed by applying the triage system. In the current system, you are given an appointment based on which patient schedules their appointment first. Some veterans die before they even attend an appointment, causing other veterans to wait in vain. The reason why some veterans die before their appointment is because they do not receive care quickly. This is due to the system not taking into consideration the patient's condition when scheduling appointments.

This system of human development functions as an organized measure to promote and provide treatment in which individuals reach their highest attainable level of physical, mental, and social well–being.

More than two centuries ago, the presence of the health care system emerged when mining and railroad companies hired doctors to provide medical services to their employees.

The essential for the development of a health care system was not established for no apparent reason. The health care system was developed due to the staggering number of Americans whom where unable to pay soaring medical bills.

  • 38. Health Systems Thinking Systems thinking (ST), a subset of to complexity theory (CT), is a potentially transformational way to view and approach health. It draws on many academic traditions to describe the processes, actors, and dynamics that shape systems like the health system(1). It is more than simply considering the bigger picture. Approaching a problem from a ST perspective involves examining interrelationships, considering all perspectives, and understanding the role of boundaries (Williams and van 't Hof 2014:8). A system consists of interacting, connected parts that operate towards a purpose; changing one connection necessarily affects other parts of the system.

The lack of a comprehensive review of application limits the ability of planners to synthesize existing literature and apply innovative–practices to emerging development challenges such as the post–MDG agenda. Case studies are of value to illustrate the range of applications of systems thinking terms, methods, and tools. With a clearer understanding of real world approaches approaches based on ST, the global health community will be better equipped to understand and address key health challenges. This paper reports on findings from case studies extracted from a previous systematic review (cite the systematic review). This systematic review of systems thinking case studies seeks to: – Provide practitioners and planners with a reference for ST/CT application cases, – Review the frequency and nature of key systems thinking terms, tools and methods in the health literature – Analyze and extract longitudinal themes across cases. – Indicate the practical implications of these cases for changing organizational form/function and post–MDG ...

Assessment Of The Health System Assessment of the Health System in the Philippines : an analysis of Out– of– Pocket Expenditure INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization's (WHO) Commission on Macroeconomics and Health stated that "the wisdom of every culture teaches that health is wealth" (p21). In fact, developing a strong health system has emerged as a priority for many countries. Furthermore, understanding the major components of the health system, and identifying main constraints, are two crucial steps in attaining key health outcomes.

The leading causes of deaths include communicable diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, and non–communicable diseases like heart conditions. The total expenditure on health per capita is US$ 202 while the gross domestic product (GDP) is US$ 159.3 billion. (Romualdez, 2011). The country's health reforms have had some success, notably a reduction in maternal and child mortality. Nevertheless, the country continues to register poor health status, and registers significantly high out–of–pocket (OOP) health expenditures.
