In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation with David Law of Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

Health Care SpendingNo one is immune to the rising costs of heal.docxCristieHolcomb793
Health Care Spending
No one is immune to the rising costs of health care. Consider the following news stories:
“In 2008, the average premium for a family plan purchased through an employer was $12,680, nearly the annual earnings of a full-time minimum wage job” (Halle & Seshamani, 2009, Introduction, para. 1).
“President Obama’s health care law is putting new strains on some of the nation’s most hard-pressed hospitals, by cutting aid they use to pay for emergency care for illegal immigrants, which they have long been required to provide” (Bernstein, 2012, para. 1).
“Doctors in America are harboring an embarrassing secret: Many of them are going broke. This quiet reality, which is spreading nationwide, is claiming a wide range of casualties, including family physicians, cardiologists and oncologists…Doctors list shrinking insurance reimbursements, changing regulations, rising business and drug costs among the factors preventing them from keeping their practices afloat” (Kavilanz, 2012, para. 1, 2, 5).
In this Discussion, you examine the overall state of health care costs in America, the different factors impacting the finances of health care organizations, and the effect of rising costs on all stakeholders.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on the level of health care spending in the United States.
Consider the ramifications of continuing at this level of spending as well as issues involved with reducing spending.
Reflect on which stakeholders (payers, providers, and the general population) should be responsible for making decisions on health care spending.
I need to Post an assessment of the consequences (on payers, providers, and the general population) of continuing current levels of health care spending in the United States as well as the potential consequences of reducing the level of spending. Explain which stakeholders should make health care spending decisions and why.
And
Read a selection of my colleagues’ responses and Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:
Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, and evidence.
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own review of the literature in the Walden Library. (I will send the responses soon)
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional sources.

Learning Objective: Explore how technology is improving healthcare
Technology has changed the way we think about health and health care. Advancements in health care using virtual reality, 3D printing, robotics, and digital technology are helping everyone lead healthier lives. These changes allow people to be more productive and increase their quality of life. Technological advancements such as wearables, genome sequencing, robotics, and medical tricorders will enable us to live longer, healthier lives. This is a progressive time to be at the forefront of medical technology.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Examine the role of technology in improving the quality of human lives.
b. Explore how technology is assisting us to live whole lives through better medical care and technological improvements.
c. Discover what medical advancements are being developed to combat new illnesses.

Better health outcomes at less cost - future nhs stage, 4pm, 2 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Pharmacy's Emerging Role in Accountable Care Organizations (ACO)Parata Systems
Your pharmacy is an excellent partner for accountable care organizations. ACOs are formed by doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to improve health outcomes and lower overall medical expenses for a targeted patient population. Reimbursements are tied to patient outcomes.
ACOs’ highest-risk and highest-cost patients are those managing chronic illnesses and taking multiple medications a day. When your pharmacy can improve and track adherence – a key driver of readmission prevention and overall health – you are a valuable partner to help ACOs prevent unnecessary medical care.
Jamie Hale serves as the Chief Pharmacy Officer for Cornerstone Health Care where he is responsible for the development and integration of pharmaceutical care services in the Accountable Care Organization. He transitioned to Cornerstone in December 2012 after a 15 year career at Wake Forest Baptist Health, where he last served as Director of Pharmacy.

These are all the sources that are involved in the payment process. The insurance companies pay for, so much money to the providers. What the insurance companies do not pay for the individual pays out of their own pockets. When we have to pay out of our own pockets can be a set amount to the provider (Martin, et.al., 2014).
