CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA AND US by Dr.Mahboob ali khan Phd Healthcare consultant
This is an exciting time for healthcare management. Healthcare is changing more rapidly than almost any other field. The field is changing in terms of how and where care is delivered, who is providing those services, and how that care is financed. Healthcare management requires talented people to manage the changes taking place. In their roles, healthcare executives have an opportunity to make a significant contribution to improving the health of the communities their organizations serve.

Health Services In Relation to Environmental Analysis

As a manager in Ford Rehabilitation centre, I have encountered several challenges in both external environment and internal environment that have greatly challenged the increasing demands of my patients’ services as well as failure of the reimbursements of funds by the insurance providers. Environmental conditions normally affect human health in varied means. Interactions between the environment and human health usually lead to very complex ethical queries that are related to health policy decisions. There are various factors in the environment that can lead to risks and the same time benefits. They include genetically modified plants, nanotechnology, bio fuels and other technology. There is a body of evidence that have emerged saying that environment can affect the health of human being and at the same time human health can have impact to the environment.
The external factors are factors in the environment that cannot be controlled by an organization. There are several external factors that affect many health organizations; these factors include political conditions, government policies and regulations, technological environment and social environment. In my organization the two key external factors affecting my company are the social environment and technological environment. Social factors have developed challenge in the Ford rehabilitation centre. This is because many patient customers have varied and different types of beliefs which make the relations in the health centre challenged. It have become problematic to deal with some patients since it is difficult to know the type of services they need based on where they have come from. Various patients have diverse transformation in attitude towards health care. The patients are however very demanding in my organization because each one of them needs to be handled differently based on community variations. In order to curb this, as manager I have decided to implement several programs that will promote cooperation between my patients as well amendments that will bring in suitable services to each patient. Implementation of this programs will enable my organization to continue being indispensible and financially stable despite the social challenges affecting the availability of patients in the organization.
Another external factor in the environment that will have a great impact in my company is technological environment. Implementation of more advanced methods to serve my customers is likely to improve patients’ attendance and this will boost the compan.

My name is Taimi (pronounced ty-mee). I have worked as a registered nurse with an associate of science degree for over 24 years. Across these years, I have practiced nursing in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and my home state of Massachusetts, to which I returned two years ago. When I graduated from a hospital-based nursing program, I took a job as a Post-Acute/Rehab Care staff nurse. After two years as a staff nurse, I was promoted to a clinical management position in a Post-Acute Care (PAC) facility. Since then, I have worked in a variety of milieus, including both free-standing and hospital-based facilities and served as a corporate nurse, a traveling nurse, and a private consultant. My nursing specialty has grown exponentially over the years. My role now encompasses reporting to many governmental agencies, on both a state and federal level, and most recently, I am involved in mandated Quarterly Reporting Program (SNF QRP). I am currently working as a Regional Clinical Reimbursement Specialist for a major Post-Acute Care Company.
I have been in the healthcare field since I was a junior in high school, working as a candy striper, certified nursing assistant, and home health aide before becoming an RN. So, I have been both exposed to and used critical thinking for a lot of years. Nevertheless, I am excited to broaden my understanding, experience, and critical thinking skills with new and fresh information on the best practices approach of nurse leaders in today's healthcare environment.
How do you see current trends and changes in healthcare models impacting the delivery of healthcare? In the recent past, the fee for service healthcare trend generated money through the volume of patients or census levels and viewed the patient as a source of revenue. Whereas, the new trend of value-based healthcare has changed healthcare, particularly in my industry of post-acute care. Our patients have now become an expense versus a source of revenue. This change has made it necessary for different types of healthcare providers to stop working in silos and instead communicate and collaborate with care providers across the continuum. Each provider will need to leverage each other’s strengths to provide the best possible outcomes for the patient. Also, with this new value-based payment model system, providers, and doctor’s need to begin to see cradle to grave care within a fixed premium payment.
What is the impact of these trends on your own practice? These emerging trends are having an impact on my industry by implementing electronic medical records (EMR), nurses now char ...
Jessica Hoang researched the career of health services administration. She discussed the diverse responsibilities of healthcare administrators in managing staff across various healthcare systems. The history of health administration began in the late 1800s with little patient support and has evolved into graduate degree programs today. Healthcare administrators work to administer healthcare programs and systems to provide quality care while promoting healthy communities. The field is expected to grow substantially due to an aging population seeking more healthcare. A bachelor's or master's degree is typically required for health administration careers.

Regulatory bodies oversee healthcare practitioners and institutions to ensure compliance with quality standards and legal guidelines. Healthcare compliance professionals help organizations adhere to increasing privacy, usage, and patient care requirements from government. Healthcare policy and protocols are important to establish guidelines that benefit patients, organizations, and the overall system by avoiding errors and improving communication. Accreditation is a self-evaluation and external review process used by healthcare institutions to measure performance against standards and identify areas for improvement. Studies have found accreditation increases overall quality by reducing disparities in care and ensuring evidence-based procedures are followed. Organizations can use patient data and outcomes to monitor their performance and identify areas for enhancing quality.

Introduction
In any hospital setting, Patient Care Executives usually are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that patients receive high-quality healthcare. At Holy Cross hospital, this position is created to give the executives an opportunity of managing the patients and allow doctors to focus on treating the patients. This is intended to make the functions of the facility much smoother. Initially, a lot of work was being put on the physicians, leaving them with too little time to attend to the patients and offer the quality of care that is required.
Recently, however, physicians have been complaining that the Patient Care Executives do not perform their duties as expected. As earlier mentioned, the position was created in this facility to ensure that patients are well-taken care of and other management functions are also handled effectively. Generally, it was meant to ensure smooth management of the healthcare organization and provide a smooth system and relationship between the PCEs and the healthcare providers. As an administrator, it is essential to work closely with HR to ensure that qualified and competent candidates are hired in this position to avoid future concerns from the physicians. As a result, a regular evaluation is required to identify the factors that affect the functioning of Holy Cross Medical Center.
External Environmental Forces
Various external factors affect the operation of Holy Cross Medical Center. Some of the major external forces include competition and patient outcomes. It is important to note that like any hospital, the patient outcome reflects the image of the organization to the public and clients typically. It is an advantage that in recent years, patient satisfaction has improved. This must be maintained or even further enhanced. Patient outcome is one of the factors that affect the organization because it plays a crucial role in determining patient retention and can improve the image of Holy Cross in public, consequently affecting its competitive advantage in the healthcare market. This means that if the PCEs and the healthcare providers are capable of working closely and collaboratively, they can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction within Holy Cross and bring success to the organization (Ginter, Duncan & Swayne, 2013).
Another external factor affecting the operations of the Holy Cross is competition. It is noted that the organization is surrounded by various healthcare organizations, both public and private, with relatively better facilities. Holy Cross is expected to compete with such organizations by offering better quality care. Competition, in this ca ...

Hello, I need assistance with the following:
I need assistance with the following, would you be able to assist?
The project is the creation of a white paper.
Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system.
An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge.
For your final project, you will assume the role of a supervisor within a PFS department and develop a white paper in which the necessary healthcare reimbursement knowledge is outlined.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules One, Three, and Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
†
Analyze the impacts of various healthcare departments and their interrelationships on the revenue cycle
†
Compare third-party payer policies through analysis of reimbursement guidelines for achieving timely and maximum reimbursements
†
Analyze organizational strategies for negotiating healthcare contracts with managed care organizations
†
Critique legal and ethical standards and policies in healthcare coding and billing for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations
†
Evaluate the use of reimbursement data for its purpose in case and utilization management and healthcare quality improvement as well as its impact on
pay for performance incentives
Prompt
You are now a supervisor within the patient financial services (PFS) department of a healthcare system. It has been assigned to you to write a white paper to educate other department managers about reimbursement. This includes how each specific department impacts reimbursement for services, which in turn impacts the healthcare organization as a whole. The healthcare system may include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and more. For now, your boss has asked you to develop a draft of this paper for the hospital personnel only; in the future, there may be the potential to expand this for other facilities.
In order to complete the white paper, you will need to choose a hospital. You can choose one that you are familiar with or create an imaginary one. Hospitals var.

This document discusses regulations related to long-term care. It notes that there are many federal and state regulations imposed on long-term care facilities to ensure quality of care and protect consumers. Quality of care is measured through factors like resident outcomes, pain levels, restraint use, and functional status. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services implements national standards to evaluate nursing home quality. Both public agencies and private organizations work to regulate various aspects of long-term care, including quality of services and costs.
If a doctor talks about your blood type, usually he or she is referring to two things: your type in the ABO system and Rhesus (Rh) factor. Human blood type is determined by antigens on the red blood cells. An antigen is a structure on the cell surface that causes a human immune response reacts to if the structure is foreign to the person’s body. Consequently, blood type match is of crucial importance. The donor’s blood type is identified at the Blood Centre, and the patient’s blood type is determined before transfusion. Here is everything you need to know!
This document discusses hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar. It defines hyperglycemia and describes its symptoms, causes, and risks. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision and fatigue. The document provides tips to avoid hyperglycemia such as eating the right foods, regularly checking blood sugar levels, following the doctor's instructions for medications, and staying active. When to seek medical attention is also outlined.
As the baby boomer population gets older and 32 million Americans gain access to healthcare under the Affordable Healthcare Act, the demand for nurses has significantly increased. Healthcare jobs are among the fastest growing jobs in America, with a predicted increase of 526,800 registered nurses by 2022. The demand for nurses is quickly growing and it has been chronicled through the years. While this is good news for anyone looking to start a career in healthcare, nurses are suffering from heavier workloads, and that can directly affect patient care.
Foods for a Healthy Heart: What to Eat and What Notto Eatanthonycasimano
Your diet has a lot to do with your health. After all, you become what you eat. When it comes to taking care of your heart, the foods you eat and your habits play the most important role. We all know that proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle are essential weapons against heart disease. However, most people get stuck in their routine and often fail to follow a heart-healthy diet in the long run.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. It causes breathing to constantly stop and start during sleep. There are several types of sleep apnea, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea. This type of apnea occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. The most common sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring and many treatments for obstructive sleep apnea are available. One treatment involves using a device that keeps your airway open while you sleep. Another option is a mouthpiece to thrust your jaw forward during sleep. In more severe cases, surgery may be an option too.
A person can experience high pressure and demands outside work just as much as they can at work. Stressors at home can affect those at work and vice versa. Sometimes, it is difficult to control outside stressors, but you need to take a holistic approach to employee well-being. To manage work-related stress effectively, you need to recognize the importance and interaction of work and home problems and find an appropriate balance.
Vaccination is undoubtedly a miracle of modern medicine. In the past 50 years, it's saved more lives worldwide than any other medical product. However, the story of vaccination goes back all the way to Ancient Greece.The story of vaccines did not begin with the first vaccine–Edward Jenner’s use of material from cowpox pustules to provide protection against smallpox. Instead, it begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease.
Care coordination synchronizes the delivery of a patient’s health care from multiple providers and specialists. The goals of coordinated care are to improve health outcomes by ensuring that care from disparate providers is not delivered in silos, and to help reduce health care costs by eliminating redundant tests and procedures.
Urine color generally ranges from a pale-yellow color to deep amber. This coloring is primarily caused by the pigment urochrome. Whether your urine is diluted by water or more concentrated determines how the pigment will appear. The more water you drink, and the more hydrated you become, the lighter the pigment in your urine. The pigments and chemical compounds in the foods you eat and the medications you take can also alter the color of your urine. These changes are fairly standard and typically don’t last for long. Certain changes in color may be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
Nursing mnemonics provide concise summaries of important clinical information. The document presents three mnemonics: DAD BOND CLASH summarizes the medical management of heart failure in 3 letters; AVPU measures a patient's level of consciousness on a 4-point scale; and SAMPLE is used to obtain a patient's health history by assessing Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake, and Events leading to illness or injury. Mnemonics help nurses accurately and quickly assess patients in different conditions and situations by systematizing important clinical steps and processes.
Will Healthcare Improve the US Economy in the Coming Years?anthonycasimano
With a double-digit growth rate, the healthcare industry is poised to improve the US economy. Also, looking at the current trend of growth, it does not seem like this is going to stop anytime soon. Healthcare has shown a healthy growth over the last decade between 2000 and 2010. Interestingly, healthcare employment grew by 25% while the employment rate dropped by more than 2% in the same period.
Oral health has more to do with your overall health than just an impressive smile. In fact, it affects how you speak, eat, and emote. Statistics suggest oral health problems, most notably tooth decay, are one of the most frequent chronic illnesses in America. Other oral health problems include gum disease and oral cancer.
The excitement of the holiday season — and an extended vacation — can be both enlivening and disruptive. Bedtimes become later, schoolwork is temporarily forgotten and routines are altered in the face of travel and family engagements.
Access to essential medicines in developing countries is inadequate, with availability only one third in the public sector and two thirds in the private sector, where prices are much higher. Improving access requires stronger partnerships among governments, pharmaceutical companies, and civil society. National essential medicines lists guide procurement and supply of affordable, effective treatments for communicable and non-communicable diseases, but 19% of developing countries need to update their lists. Low availability of medicines in public sectors means patients must pay higher costs privately or go without treatment.
Bath salt abuse is emerging as a major public health issue, with teenagers and adults in their forties at risk. Bath salts contain synthetic stimulants similar to cathinone and are marketed as "not for human consumption" to circumvent laws, though they have no legitimate use and can cause severe health effects like psychosis or death. While the DEA has banned common ingredients, manufacturers find loopholes by labeling products as plant food or incense. Prevention involves monitoring loved ones for signs of abuse like behavior changes or increased spending.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help relieve common pains like back and hip pain experienced by nearly 50% of pregnant women. Chiropractic aligns the spine and pelvis which supports easier birth and reduces risks of complications from misalignment. Studies show chiropractic reduces pain and shortens labor time. It is generally safe when carefully managed by a chiropractor trained in prenatal care, though some high risk pregnancies require medical consultation first.
In fact, a small percentage of patients may be too much afraid of the doctor and medical procedures that they may run away from a medical consultation.

"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions.
