This document discusses how a nonprofit hospital named Memorial Hermann has changed since the 1980s due to economic and political forces. It analyzes three significant changes: the adoption of new technologies like electronic health records; recruiting highly qualified medical professionals; and responding to demographic changes like an aging population with more chronic diseases. While these changes have positively impacted the hospital's efficacy by improving patient care and increasing revenue, they have also negatively impacted the U.S. health system overall by increasing costs and reducing affordability and accessibility of healthcare for many patients.

NURS 6050C: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Main Question Post. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 created several positive healthcare policies such as affordable health care, lifting the preexisting health condition clause from health insurance, requiring facilities to make healthcare charges public knowledge, and enforcing healthcare providers to become active in improving quality and health outcomes for patients (Library of Congress, n.d.). The act addressed a combination of the health care drivers of cost, quality, and access. According to a report released by the White House Press Secretary on April 17, 2014, “The Affordable Care Act is working. It is giving millions of middle class Americans the health care security they deserve, it is slowing the growth of health care costs and it has brought transparency and competition to the Health Insurance Marketplace.” (The White House, 2014). However, the price some healthcare providers had to pay a heavy financial - forcing some providers out of business. The negative side of the act is seldom portrayed in the news and media.
Section 3131(a) of the act required payment for home health services to be rebased over a period of four years (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2013); resultant in a 2.8% reduction beginning in 2014 for four consecutive years totaling a reduction in payment of 11.6%. The reductions were placed along with mandates for quality reporting, new forms, and new processes resulting in increased administrative overhead costs while shouldering the burden of financial reductions.
Initiating a Change in Policy Process
Living in a rural community, I witness firsthand the lack of access to care as there are limited numbers of primary care providers. Couple the limited access to providers with the amount of paperwork and forms that must be signed by a physician and patients are not referred to home health services as often as one should be – the result is the patient presenting to the emergency room or a hospitalization to have one’s health care needs met. Currently, Medicare and Medicaid do not allow physician assistants or advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to sign the necessary orders and plan of care for home health services – only a “doctor of medicine, osteopathy, or podiatric medicine” may sign for services (Government Publishing Office, 2014, p. 693). I would like to use the knowledge gained as an APRN to legislate for this mandate to be changed and allow both physician assistants and APRNs to sign for coverage of home health services.
The Kingdon Model would be utilized for the legislation process by finding the three streams of problem, policy, and politics to coordinate with the above-mentioned issue (Milstead, 2019, p. 24). The problem would consist of the burdensome amount of paperwork imposed upon.
Healthcare Data Analytics.pptx
Healthcare analytics has evolved during Covid19, enabling us to better understand what patients express on telehealth consultations, live feeds, and social media channels. The sudden onset of the pandemic has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way healthcare has been traditionally managed and delivered. Governments and healthcare organizations have realized that AI-driven technologies can be optimized for patient care and patient voice data in newer and better ways.

5. Grammar, Referencing, Page Restrictions (10 points)
Evaluate U.S. HIT
Compare with that of other advanced nations? What contributes to this?
U.S HIT is behind when compared to other developed countries in the world. According to Davis, Stremikis, Squires, and Schoen (2014), “other countries have led in the adoption of modern health information systems, but U.S. physicians and hospitals are catching up as they respond to significant financial incentives to adopt and make meaningful use of health information technology systems.” What baffled me the most is that the U.S healthcare system remains the most expensive in the world and there is nothing to show for the high cost when compared to performance rating with other developed nations. The U.S remains at the bottom when it comes to healthcare performance in terms of quality care, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives (Davis et al., 2014).
I believe our government is to be blamed for poor HIT advancement in the U.S. This is because the U.S government is ten years late in making HIT a national major concern to support and invest in. I was surprised to find out that the U.S is one of the first nations in the world to fund and use HIT. So the question is how did end on the back bench when it comes to HIT advancement. Sullivan, Watkins, Sweet, and Ramsey (2009) reports that most of the early initiatives such as government funding and policies put in place to foster the growth of HIT have been either changed or stopped as a result of political, financial, and commercial pressures. “A National Center for .

7.3 Organizational Change and Redesign
Organizational Design and Change
For many years, the world of business has experienced an increasing rate of change, as was predicted by Alvin Toffler (1970) nearly half a century ago. This trend has accelerated in healthcare. Toffler noted that people exhibit a natural tendency to resist change. In this section, drivers or forces that lead to change are examined first, followed by a discussion of resistance to change. Then, methods of implementing changes are described, and the impact of change on employees and managers, particularly as it relates to organizational design and healthcare, is discussed.
Drivers of Change
Two major sets of forces drive change in both profit-seeking and nonprofit organizations: internal drivers and external drivers. Each factor appears in the management of healthcare organizations.
Internal Forces
Many times, the feature that creates the greatest need for change originates from within the organization. These factors come from diverse sources, including organizational growth, a crisis, or an opportunity.
CASE
Combining Assets and Activities
The community of Tampa, Florida, has a diverse population, with healthcare being provided to persons with low incomes, extremely wealthy individuals, and a strong middle class. Three well-established physicians—an obstetrician, a gynecologist, and a urology specialist—decided that they should combine their practices into a unique new organization. They believed that numerous patients would be attracted to these separate, but interrelated, medical practices.
The three physicians worked together to create a plan. They decided that each physician would have privileges, or authority to practice, in more than one organization. Beyond their individual practices, the doctors would perform surgeries and provide additional medical care in several local area hospitals. In the new practice, their days would be divided into times in which they tend to routine examinations, to patients with medical problems.

The New Focus on Quality and Outcomes
Introduction
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a groundbreaking analysis of the impact of medical errors on the health care delivery system and the patients it serves. The analysis, published as "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Healthcare System," concluded that medical errors resulted in up to 98,000 patient deaths in American hospitals every year. This report hit the national press and participants in the health care system and the political system with the force of a large bomb. Since that time, hospitals and other health care entities have refocused their attention on quality, errors, and patient safety in an unprecedented way, urged on by public outcry and by federal and state efforts to compel improvements in the health care system. Such entities as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (www.ihi.org) the National Quality Forum (www.qualityforum.org), and the Institute of Medicine (www.iom.edu) have all emerged as champions of quality and safety initiatives, offering training, resources, access to best practices, and data collection strategies to move the cause of quality.

Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non- ...

This paper presents a marketing plan for Continuum health partners. Continuum health partners is an organization based in the metropolitan area of New York US. The main aim of the organization is to coordinate the operations of its members to keep the organization financially solvent by controlling costs in the highly competitive industry (Pronk et al., 2015). The plan outlines various goals and objectives which will help the organization succeed. Goals are used as a road map for the organization to achieve its vision. The plan also presents a market analysis for the healthcare industry.
The plan also presents an environmental analysis of political and social issues affecting the organization. Politics and policy issues affect the healthcare industry in a big way. For instance, the Affordable Healthcare Act has been used in the US for a while. However, the new incumbent government has promised that they will replace this Act. Social and cultural factors significantly affect the quality of healthcare for a community. Most people in the US are educated and this helps them to understand the importance of staying healthy. The paper also presents a consumer analysis of the healthcare sector.
Various strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats facing the organization are also discussed in details. One of the main strengths of the organization is its geographical location which ensures that consumers can easily access health care services within the city. Finally, the paper explores ...

A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System
Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern.
America is second to none in terms of healthcare expenditure across the globe. Ironically, evidence shows that its citizens do not receive the most appropriate care, or at least, which they need. For instance, Graban (2018) documents that preventive care is underutilized in the country, which is escalating the budget of managing advanced diseases. On the other hand, patients of chronic ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac complications, do not also usually get treatments that are proven and effective (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). According to Strome (2019), this case is particularly true and event rampant to the persons that insured, uninsured, or under-insured. The lack of proper coordination of chronic diseases patients' care would only source more or exuberate poor healthcare. The unsurprising healthcare system's underlying fragmentation only fuels the issue given that many health care providers hardly have the payment support such related gears, necessary for effective communication and coordination to improve patient care.
While a significant number of patients miss medically necessary care, other clients get unnecessary or even unsafe attention. Research depicts terrific variations in hospital inpatient lengths of stay, specialists' visits, testing and procedures, and costs — not just by United States' unalike geographic areas, but from one health institution to another in the same town (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). Though limited, evidence on the most effective treatments and procedures, on the best way of informing providers about the efficacy of different treatments, and on the failures of detecting and reducing errors further underwrite the gaps care's quality and effectiveness (Strome, 2019). The concerns are especially pertinent to the Americans of the lower social classes as well as to those from diverse demographic and ethnic groups are usually frequent victims of a lot of incongruences in health and health care.
The implication of Poor Patient Care
Poor quality care impacts both patients and providers negatively. For patients, it reduces their survival changes, aggravates illnesses, and leads to unnecessary mortalities (Graban, 2018). To providers, such issu.

HOSPITAL DOWNSIZING
In the coming years the United States will find themselves going through a number of changes within the Social Security Administration which will affect the Health Care Industry as we know it “Hospital size has long been an area of discussion and debate in the U.S. healthcare industry. Questions have consistently focused on cost management or efficiency in large versus small hospitals. A persistent question among researchers is whether efficiencies are associated with larger facilities through economies of scale, or if there are alternate scenarios that play a significant part in hospital cost and efficiency” (2009, JHM). Since the Affordable Health Care Act was established it made obtaining health care much more affordable and accessible, but at the same time there has to be some cut back.

Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non- ...

This paper presents a marketing plan for Continuum health partners. Continuum health partners is an organization based in the metropolitan area of New York US. The main aim of the organization is to coordinate the operations of its members to keep the organization financially solvent by controlling costs in the highly competitive industry (Pronk et al., 2015). The plan outlines various goals and objectives which will help the organization succeed. Goals are used as a road map for the organization to achieve its vision. The plan also presents a market analysis for the healthcare industry.
The plan also presents an environmental analysis of political and social issues affecting the organization. Politics and policy issues affect the healthcare industry in a big way. For instance, the Affordable Healthcare Act has been used in the US for a while. However, the new incumbent government has promised that they will replace this Act. Social and cultural factors significantly affect the quality of healthcare for a community. Most people in the US are educated and this helps them to understand the importance of staying healthy. The paper also presents a consumer analysis of the healthcare sector.
Various strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats facing the organization are also discussed in details. One of the main strengths of the organization is its geographical location which ensures that consumers can easily access health care services within the city. Finally, the paper explores ...

A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System
Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern.
America is second to none in terms of healthcare expenditure across the globe. Ironically, evidence shows that its citizens do not receive the most appropriate care, or at least, which they need. For instance, Graban (2018) documents that preventive care is underutilized in the country, which is escalating the budget of managing advanced diseases. On the other hand, patients of chronic ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac complications, do not also usually get treatments that are proven and effective (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). According to Strome (2019), this case is particularly true and event rampant to the persons that insured, uninsured, or under-insured. The lack of proper coordination of chronic diseases patients' care would only source more or exuberate poor healthcare. The unsurprising healthcare system's underlying fragmentation only fuels the issue given that many health care providers hardly have the payment support such related gears, necessary for effective communication and coordination to improve patient care.
While a significant number of patients miss medically necessary care, other clients get unnecessary or even unsafe attention. Research depicts terrific variations in hospital inpatient lengths of stay, specialists' visits, testing and procedures, and costs — not just by United States' unalike geographic areas, but from one health institution to another in the same town (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). Though limited, evidence on the most effective treatments and procedures, on the best way of informing providers about the efficacy of different treatments, and on the failures of detecting and reducing errors further underwrite the gaps care's quality and effectiveness (Strome, 2019). The concerns are especially pertinent to the Americans of the lower social classes as well as to those from diverse demographic and ethnic groups are usually frequent victims of a lot of incongruences in health and health care.
The implication of Poor Patient Care
Poor quality care impacts both patients and providers negatively. For patients, it reduces their survival changes, aggravates illnesses, and leads to unnecessary mortalities (Graban, 2018). To providers, such issu.

HOSPITAL DOWNSIZING
In the coming years the United States will find themselves going through a number of changes within the Social Security Administration which will affect the Health Care Industry as we know it “Hospital size has long been an area of discussion and debate in the U.S. healthcare industry. Questions have consistently focused on cost management or efficiency in large versus small hospitals. A persistent question among researchers is whether efficiencies are associated with larger facilities through economies of scale, or if there are alternate scenarios that play a significant part in hospital cost and efficiency” (2009, JHM). Since the Affordable Health Care Act was established it made obtaining health care much more affordable and accessible, but at the same time there has to be some cut back.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We will identify the basic healthcare services provided by the organization and analyze how it has changed over the years due to economic and political forces. Furthermore, we will evaluate how these changes have impacted the organization’s efficacy and the U.S. health system overall.Part 1:The healthcare organization chosen for this assignment is a nonprofit hospital named Memorial Hermann. Memorial Hermann Hospital was founded in 1986 in Houston, Texas, and is the largest healthcare system in southeast Texas. The hospital is a nonprofit organization that provides a broad spectrum of healthcare services, including cancer care, women’s health, orthopedics, heart & vascular, neurosciences, transplant, and emergency medicine.Part 2:Since the 1980s, Memorial Hermann Hospital has undergone significant changes due to economic and political forces. One significant change is the impact of technology on the organization’s operations. The hospital has adopted new technologies such as electronic health records, telemedicine, and telemonitoring systems, which have improved patient care and reduced costs.Another significant change is the professional personnel involved in the hospital’s operations. The hospital has recruited highly qualified medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare personnel. This has
- 2. led to improved patient outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.Lastly, patient demographics have changed since the 1980s. Memorial Hermann Hospital has seen an increase in the number of elderly patients with chronic diseases, which has led to a higher demand for healthcare services. The hospital has responded to this demand by opening new facilities and offering specialized services that cater to the elderly population.Part 3:From an administrator’s viewpoint, these changes have positively impacted Memorial Hermann Hospital’s efficacy. The adoption of new technologies has led to improved patient care, reduced healthcare costs, and increased operational efficiency. The recruitment of highly qualified professionals has led to better patient outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. Lastly, the hospital’s response to demographic changes has led to increased revenue and an expanded patient base.However, these changes have also had negative impacts on the overall U.S. health system. The increased demand for healthcare services due to demographic changes has led to a supply and demand imbalance, resulting in longer wait times and higher healthcare costs for patients. Additionally, the adoption of new technologies and the recruitment of highly qualified medical professionals have led to an increase in healthcare costs, which has made healthcare less affordable and accessible for many patients.In summary, Memorial Hermann Hospital has undergone significant changes since the 1980s due to economic and political forces. The hospital has responded to these changes by adopting new technologies, recruiting highly qualified professionals, and responding to demographic changes. These changes have positively impacted the hospital’s efficacy from an administrator’s viewpoint, but negatively impacted the U.S. health system overall.#Essay
