Hello,
The influence within the medical community is so important and
the three key players will never truly be understood because of
an outside perspective, but let’s break them down.
The Health Care organization’s influence with the delivery
system can be summed up in creating an affordable and reliable
health care programs that the patients can return to and be
comfortable to have their families get their medical issues
resolved. (Cowing, Davio, C.M, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pg. 73) If
the entire Health Care organization were to fail, the entire
infrastructure would crumble because we would have mass
panic through the United States
The clinician are the backbone of the system of all medical
organizations and the influence is based on their hard work and

3. dedication in their work centers. If we had lazy clinicians then
that would impact the patients and the organizations. If we
don’t pay them accordingly then they could find a more reliable
location to help with their life. Also, if they don’t have the right
tools and equipment to accomplish their skill, we would lose the
trust in the patient. If we had more organization bringing their
clinicians into the leadership fold and decision making, I think
there would be a drastic change health care cost. (NEJM
Catalyst, 2021)
The patients influence impacts each level of an organization and
how our clinician work through certain situations. The patient is
really the person on the ground that could suggest a change in
procedures because they’ve been a loyal customer to the Health
Care. The delivery portion of any one of these to make sure that
we have active communication with both parties so there isn’t
anything lost in translation. The patient needs that health care
that can be accessed on an everyday situation.
I lived in Denver for four years and found that on every
street corner there was an urgent care facility and on top of that,
there was a hospital. This concept is great when we pursue that
right clinicians, insurance and method to help the patient.

The organization, clinician, and patient are all vital variables a
part of the health care delivery system. Each variable has its
own set of specific aspects that are used to measure the
performance level of the health care delivery system.
Therefore, resulting in each variable having a substantial
amount of influence on the health care delivery system.
With today’s elevated level of competition in the health care
field, the organization must ensure that it is offering high
quality health care that is efficient, effective, and readily
accessible for the patient. With patient and workplace safety in
mind, the organization must deliver such health care all while
keeping expenses low (Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya,
Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp. 72-78). The integrity of the
organization is important because a health care organization
that lacks integrity also lacks having ethical values, which are
mandatory ingredients for success in the field.
The clinicians are the cornerstone of the health care delivery
system. Their influence is directly linked to the organization
and the patient. The organization provides the clinicians with
the necessary resources needed to perform high quality health
care on the patients. In change, the clinicians must put forth
their best efforts to ensure organizational success and achieve
overall patient satisfaction (Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya,
Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp. 72-78). The clinician’s integrity is
important because the patient’s health, safety, and a portion of
the organization’s reputation lies in their hands. Patients who
lack trust in their physicians do not receive satisfactory health
care (Roseman University, 2016).
Lastly, the patient has a huge influence on the health care
system. Overall patient satisfaction is the goal for every health
care organization because their feedbacks directly affect the
organization’s reputation. Patient integrity is important because
negative feedbacks from patients can cause an organization to
make drastic changes to their infrastructure.
