Heritage Healthcare:- Legacy healthcare refers to the traditional model of healthcare that has been in vogue for many years. It is characterized by a fee-for-service payment model, where healthcare providers are reimbursed for each service they provide to patients. This model has been a foundation of the US healthcare system for many years, but it has faced increasing criticism for its high costs and inefficiencies. In this essay, we'll explore the history, challenges, and possible solutions to legacy healthcare. History of Legacy Healthcare Legacy healthcare emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. At the time, health care was largely provided by individual physicians and hospitals, and patients paid for services out of pocket. However, with the rise of employer-sponsored health insurance during World War II, a new payment model emerged. This model was based on a fee-for-service system, where healthcare providers were reimbursed for each service they provided to patients. The system was designed to encourage healthcare providers to provide more services, with the assumption that more services would lead to better health outcomes. Over the past few years, the fee-for-service model has become deeply ingrained in the US healthcare system. It has been the foundation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide healthcare for millions of Americans. However, as the cost of health care continues to rise, the limits of this model are becoming increasingly apparent. Challenges of Legacy Healthcare One of the main challenges of legacy healthcare is its high cost. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to provide more services, whether those services are truly needed or not. This has given rise to a phenomenon known as overuse, where patients receive more tests, procedures and treatments than they actually need. This not only increases the cost of health care but can also cause harm to patients. For example, unnecessary tests and procedures can expose patients to radiation and other risks. Another challenge of legacy healthcare is its fragmentation. The fee-for-service model encourages healthcare providers to work independently of each other, rather than collaborating to provide coordinated care. This can lead to a lack of communication between healthcare providers, resulting in duplication of services and missed opportunities to meet the health needs of patients. Fragmentation also makes it difficult for patients to navigate the health care system, as they may need to see multiple providers for different health problems. Finally, legacy health care is often criticized for its lack of focus on prevention and population health. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to treat serious illnesses and injuries instead of addressing the underlying causes of poor health. more details

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

DQ 3-2
Integrated health care delivery systems (IDS) was developed to initiate excellence health care access and quality of care to entire populations and community by collaborating and coordinating diverse healthcare professionals. Main driving force of IDS is patient centered care by using resources such as collaborating care from physicians and allied health care professionals to construct continuum of care, to deliver care in the most cost-effective way, utilize trained and competent providers by utilizing evidenced -based practice and combine innovation such as EHR (Electronic Health Records) system and team work to produce improved healthcare system.
Excellence in care is attainable by incorporating allied healthcare professional, as high quality care is possible when coordination is unified and covers all areas of responsibilities. For an example-combining resources and coordination of care by involving physicians, dietitian, physical therapy or occupational therapy to work with patient diagnosed with obesity by promoting teamwork approach and ultimately delivering endurance in care and utilizing various resources.
Barriers to IDS can be a huge block in delivering quality care. Among many one limitation is physicians not participating in integrated healthcare system, which disconnect physicians from team based approached by deterring continuous quality improvement (essentialhospitals.org, n.d). This is because, system such as EHR or new innovative quality assurance programs are time consuming and overwhelming, thus decline in physicians support in IDS programs. By implementing user friendly system approach, enforcing focused based care and accepting the necessity of evidenced based practice can improve these barriers. Hence, increasing clinical expertise to produce better service and quality of care in integrated delivery system.

In the US, there is not one type of health care system but rather a subset of systems, some of them catering to specific populations. These subsystems include managed care, military, and vulnerable populations. Managed care is a health care delivery system that seeks to achieve efficiency by integrating the basic functions of health care delivery, employs mechanisms to control utilization of medical services, and determines the price at which the services are purchased and how much the providers get paid, military health care system is available free of charge to active duty military personnel and covers preventative and treatment services that are provided by salaried health care personnel and this system combines public health with medical services, and vulnerable population subsystem offers comprehensive medical and enabling services targeted to the needs of vulnerable populations and government health insurance programs provide.

Shaping the Future for Health
CROSSING THE QUALITY CHASM:
A NEW HEALTH SYSTEM FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
The U.S. health care delivery system does not provide consistent, high-quality medical care to all people. Americans should be able to count on receiving care that meets their needs and is based on the best scien
tific knowledge--yet there is strong evidence that this frequently is not the
case. Health care harms patients too frequently and routinely fails to deliver
its potential benefits. Indeed, between the health care that we now have and
the health care that we could have lies not just a gap, but a chasm.
A number of factors have combined to create this chasm. Medical sci
ence and technology have advanced at an unprecedented rate during the past
half-century. In tandem has come growing complexity of health care, which
today is characterized by more to know, more to do, more to manage, more to
watch, and more people involved than ever before. Faced with such rapid
changes, the nation’s health care delivery system has fallen far short in its
ability to translate knowledge into practice and to apply new technology
safely and appropriately. And if the system cannot consistently deliver to-
day’s science and technology, it is even less prepared to respond to the ex
traordinary advances that surely will emerge during the coming decades.
The public’s health care needs have changed as well. Americans are
living longer, due at least in part to advances in medical science and techno l
ogy, and with this aging population comes an increase in the incidence and
prevalence of chronic conditions. Such conditions, including heart disease,
diabetes, and asthma, are now the leading cause of illness, disability, and
death. But today’s health system remains overly devoted to dealing with
acute, episodic care needs. There is a dearth of clinical programs with the
multidisciplinary infrastructure required to provide the full complement of
services needed by people with common chronic conditions.
The health care delivery system also is poorly organized to meet the
challenges at hand. The delivery of care often is overly complex and uncoor
dinated, requiring steps and patient “handoffs” that slow down care and de-
crease rather than improve safety. These cumbersome processes waste re-
sources; leave unaccountable voids in coverage; lead to loss of information;

Patient Centered Medical home talk at WVU
To employers the cost of healthcare is now a business issue and this talk is about what one large buyer IBM did to drive transformation via broad coalition with other large employers to form the Patient Centered Medical Home movement and the covenant between buyer and provider away from the garbage we now buy episodic uncoordinated disintegrated care. In the change of convenient conversation we have worked with the Primary care providers to give us coordinated, integrated, accessible and compressive care with a set of principles know as the Patient centered medical home.
A Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) happens when primary care healers keeping that core healing relationship with their patients step up to become specialists in Family and Community Medicine. The move is to the discipline of leading a team that delivers population health management, patent centered prevention, care that is coordination, comprehensive accessible 24/7 and integrated across a deliver system. PCMH happens when the specialists in Family and Community Medicine wake up every morning and ask the question how will my team improve the health of my community today?
All over the world three huge factors are in play that is driving the concept of Patient Centered Medical Home. They are:
1) Cost and demography
2) Information technology and data (information that is actionable will equal a demand for accountability by the payer or buyer of the care)
3) Consumer demand to engage healthcare differently (at least as well as they can their bank- on line) have a question about lab results why not e-mail?
But at its core it is a move toward integration of a healing relationship in primary care and population management all at the point of care with the tools to do just that.

S28 September-October 2016HASTINGS CENTER REPORTUndispu.docx
S28 September-October 2016/HASTINGS CENTER REPORT
Undisputedly, the United States’ health care sys-
tem is in the midst of unprecedented complexi-
ty and transformation. In 2014 alone there were
well over thirty-five million admissions to hospitals in
the nation,1 indicating that there was an extraordinary
number of very sick and frail people requiring highly
skilled clinicians to manage and coordinate their com-
plex care across multiple care settings. Medical advances
give us the ability to send patients home more efficiently
than ever before and simultaneously create ethical ques-
tions about the balance of benefits and burdens associ-
ated with these advances. New treatments for cancer or
complex heart disease may prolong life until the disease
becomes irreversible while causing significant morbidity
that undermines functional status, independence, and
quality of life in ways that patients find unacceptable.
Some patients and families voice concerns about access
to treatments and about the quality and safety of the care
they or their loved ones receive.
Every day on every shift, nurses at the bedside feel
these pressures and the intense array of ethical issues that
they raise. A staggering 17.5 percent of trained nurses are
leaving their roles or the profession after less than one
year of service,2 and increasing levels of moral distress
and burnout contribute to their decisions.3 Meanwhile,
research supports the common-sense understanding that
patients and health care organizations fare better when
nurses are not harried, are supported in their work en-
vironments, and are able to practice high-quality, ethical
care.
At the same time, administrators, policy-makers, and
regulators struggle to balance commitments to patients,
families, staff members, and governing boards. Health
care organizations are compelled by laws, regulations,
and accrediting bodies to pursue externally reported
measures of effectiveness that can put their mission and
values at risk. While health care systems declare their
commitment to core ethical values, many clinicians
struggle to understand institutional priorities, budgets,
policies, and decisions seemingly inconsistent with their
values as professionals.
Increasingly clinicians find their ability to provide
compassionate care at odds with the intensifying focus
on matters such as clinical pathways aimed at standard-
izing care, cost-cutting efficiencies, electronic medical
records, and hospital policies and procedures.4 Arguably,
each of these have merit in the current system, but what
is not accounted for are the unintended consequences
of diverting attention from the core ethical values of the
professions. For example, the advent of the EMR requires
clinicians to focus on documentation rather than being
fully present during patient encounters. An emphasis on
clinical pathways increases the risk of reducing patient
symptoms and diseases to what fits a rote app.

HeadnoteGovernments with universal healthcare systems are increa.docx
Headnote
Governments with universal healthcare systems are increasingly bemoaning the costs of their systems and the need to contain these costs if affordable healthcare services are to be sustained into the future. In a bid to reduce the costs of healthcare, politicians and bureaucrats have championed the need for reform. Although avoiding the language of rationing, the kinds of 'reforms' being championed (eg. greater government regulation of universal health coverage, reducing reimbursement for medical costs, cutting funding to public hospitals) seem however, to be more concerned with restricting universal healthcare coverage, rather than reforming it.
The rhetoric of healthcare reforms has also had a political ideological objective shifting the provision of and accountability for public healthcare services to private sector providers. This objective has been pursued despite experts warning that such a shift will ultimately lead (and in some cases has already led) to inequities and unjust disparities in access to healthcare and related health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations who cannot afford private health insurance.
Australia has not been immune from ideologically driven machinations about the sustainability of its universal healthcare scheme, ie. Medicare. Despite health expenditure in Australia reportedly reaching a record low for the period 2012-2013, there has been a political campaign of spreading false and misleading information about Medicare's sustainability (Keast 2015).This misinformation has included 'blaming' vulnerable populations (eg. an ageing demographic, the 'undeserving poor') for their allegedly disproportionate over-utilisation of public healthcare services and the need to curb this costly 'wanton' demand. What has been overlooked in this situation, however, is that a key driver of the spiraling costs of healthcare is not the over-utilisation of services by people in need, but rather 'the use of wasteful tests and treatments' prescribed by doctors (Tilburt & Cassel, 2013) together with the rising costs of drugs (driven by the business behaviours of the pharmaceutical industry) and medical technology, particularly in hospitals. Also overlooked is the problem of language and the tendency to treat the terms 'healthcare', 'hospital care', and 'medical care' as being synonymous, when they are not. Failure to distinguish what each of these terms refers to unnecessarily muddles debate about what healthcare reforms are needed as well as where and how these should occur.
Question of nursing ethics
The ethics of healthcare rationing has been the subject of debate for decades. This debate has primarily rested on the issue of whether it is ever acceptable to ration healthcare and, if so, on what grounds. It has also prompted unresolved controversies about the interests of individuals versus the collective interests of society in accessing limited healthcare resources and how best to balance these competing inter.

The U.S. government considers cultural competence as a method of increasing access to quality care for all patients. The aim should be to develop systems more responsive to diverse populations. Managed care organizations view cultural competence as driving both quality and business. By embedding cultural competence strategies into quality improvement initiatives to make care more efficient and effective, clinical outcomes are improved while costs are controlled. Those in academic settings agree that cultural competency education is crucial for preparing future health care workers, although appropriate education on the topic is provided in only half of the medical schools in the United States (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Park, 2005). According to the Office of Minority Health, cultural competence refers to the ability of health care providers and organizations to understand and respond effectively to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients (Office of Minority Health, 2001). Cultural competence encompasses a wide range of activities and considerations. It includes providing respectful care that is consistent with cultural health beliefs of the clients and family members. Competent interpreter services and programs to promote staff diversity are other ways in which health care organizations can increase cultural competence (Clancy & Stryer, 2001). Because communication is a cornerstone of patient safety and quality care, every patient has the right to receive information in a manner he or she understands. Effective communication allows patients to participate more fully in their care. Communicating effectively with patients is also critical to the informed consent process and helps practitioners and hospitals give the best possible care. For communication to be effective, the information provided must be complete, accurate, timely, unambiguous, and understood by the patient. Many patients of varying circumstances require alternative communication methods: patients who speak and/or read languages other than English; patients who have limited literacy in any language; patients who have visual or hearing impairments; patients on ventilators; patients with cognitive impairments; and children. The hospital has many options available to assist in communication with these individuals, such as interpreters, translated written materials, pen and paper, communication boards, and speech therapy. It is up to the hospital to determine which method is the best for each patient. Various laws, regulations, and guidelines are relevant to the use of interpreters. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Executive Order .

S28 September-October 2016/HASTINGS CENTER REPORT
Undisputedly, the United States’ health care sys-
tem is in the midst of unprecedented complexi-
ty and transformation. In 2014 alone there were
well over thirty-five million admissions to hospitals in
the nation,1 indicating that there was an extraordinary
number of very sick and frail people requiring highly
skilled clinicians to manage and coordinate their com-
plex care across multiple care settings. Medical advances
give us the ability to send patients home more efficiently
than ever before and simultaneously create ethical ques-
tions about the balance of benefits and burdens associ-
ated with these advances. New treatments for cancer or
complex heart disease may prolong life until the disease
becomes irreversible while causing significant morbidity
that undermines functional status, independence, and
quality of life in ways that patients find unacceptable.
Some patients and families voice concerns about access
to treatments and about the quality and safety of the care
they or their loved ones receive.
Every day on every shift, nurses at the bedside feel
these pressures and the intense array of ethical issues that
they raise. A staggering 17.5 percent of trained nurses are
leaving their roles or the profession after less than one
year of service,2 and increasing levels of moral distress
and burnout contribute to their decisions.3 Meanwhile,
research supports the common-sense understanding that
patients and health care organizations fare better when
nurses are not harried, are supported in their work en-
vironments, and are able to practice high-quality, ethical
care.
At the same time, administrators, policy-makers, and
regulators struggle to balance commitments to patients,
families, staff members, and governing boards. Health
care organizations are compelled by laws, regulations,
and accrediting bodies to pursue externally reported
measures of effectiveness that can put their mission and
values at risk. While health care systems declare their
commitment to core ethical values, many clinicians
struggle to understand institutional priorities, budgets,
policies, and decisions seemingly inconsistent with their
values as professionals.
Increasingly clinicians find their ability to provide
compassionate care at odds with the intensifying focus
on matters such as clinical pathways aimed at standard-
izing care, cost-cutting efficiencies, electronic medical
records, and hospital policies and procedures.4 Arguably,
each of these have merit in the current system, but what
is not accounted for are the unintended consequences
of diverting attention from the core ethical values of the
professions. For example, the advent of the EMR requires
clinicians to focus on documentation rather than being
fully present during patient encounters. An emphasis on
clinical pathways increases the risk of reducing patient
symptoms and diseases to what fits a rote app.

HeadnoteGovernments with universal healthcare systems are increa.docx
Headnote
Governments with universal healthcare systems are increasingly bemoaning the costs of their systems and the need to contain these costs if affordable healthcare services are to be sustained into the future. In a bid to reduce the costs of healthcare, politicians and bureaucrats have championed the need for reform. Although avoiding the language of rationing, the kinds of 'reforms' being championed (eg. greater government regulation of universal health coverage, reducing reimbursement for medical costs, cutting funding to public hospitals) seem however, to be more concerned with restricting universal healthcare coverage, rather than reforming it.
The rhetoric of healthcare reforms has also had a political ideological objective shifting the provision of and accountability for public healthcare services to private sector providers. This objective has been pursued despite experts warning that such a shift will ultimately lead (and in some cases has already led) to inequities and unjust disparities in access to healthcare and related health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations who cannot afford private health insurance.
Australia has not been immune from ideologically driven machinations about the sustainability of its universal healthcare scheme, ie. Medicare. Despite health expenditure in Australia reportedly reaching a record low for the period 2012-2013, there has been a political campaign of spreading false and misleading information about Medicare's sustainability (Keast 2015).This misinformation has included 'blaming' vulnerable populations (eg. an ageing demographic, the 'undeserving poor') for their allegedly disproportionate over-utilisation of public healthcare services and the need to curb this costly 'wanton' demand. What has been overlooked in this situation, however, is that a key driver of the spiraling costs of healthcare is not the over-utilisation of services by people in need, but rather 'the use of wasteful tests and treatments' prescribed by doctors (Tilburt & Cassel, 2013) together with the rising costs of drugs (driven by the business behaviours of the pharmaceutical industry) and medical technology, particularly in hospitals. Also overlooked is the problem of language and the tendency to treat the terms 'healthcare', 'hospital care', and 'medical care' as being synonymous, when they are not. Failure to distinguish what each of these terms refers to unnecessarily muddles debate about what healthcare reforms are needed as well as where and how these should occur.
Question of nursing ethics
The ethics of healthcare rationing has been the subject of debate for decades. This debate has primarily rested on the issue of whether it is ever acceptable to ration healthcare and, if so, on what grounds. It has also prompted unresolved controversies about the interests of individuals versus the collective interests of society in accessing limited healthcare resources and how best to balance these competing inter.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Heritage Healthcare
- 1. Heritage Healthcare:- Legacy healthcare refers to the traditional model of healthcare that has been in vogue for many years. It is characterized by a fee-for-service payment model, where healthcare providers are reimbursed for each service they provide to patients. This model has been a foundation of the US healthcare system for many years, but it has faced increasing criticism for its high costs and inefficiencies. In this essay, we'll explore the history, challenges, and possible solutions to legacy healthcare. History of Legacy Healthcare Legacy healthcare emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. At the time, health care was largely provided by individual physicians and hospitals, and patients paid for services out of pocket. However, with the rise of employer-sponsored health insurance during World War II, a new payment model emerged. This model was based on a fee-for-service system, where healthcare providers were reimbursed for each service they provided to patients. The system was designed to encourage healthcare providers to provide more services, with the assumption that more services would lead to better health outcomes. Over the past few years, the fee-for-service model has become deeply ingrained in the US healthcare system. It has been the foundation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide healthcare for millions of Americans. However, as the cost of health care continues to rise, the limits of this model are becoming increasingly apparent. Challenges of Legacy Healthcare
- 2. One of the main challenges of legacy healthcare is its high cost. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to provide more services, whether those services are truly needed or not. This has given rise to a phenomenon known as overuse, where patients receive more tests, procedures and treatments than they actually need. This not only increases the cost of health care but can also cause harm to patients. For example, unnecessary tests and procedures can expose patients to radiation and other risks. Another challenge of legacy healthcare is its fragmentation. The fee-for-service model encourages healthcare providers to work independently of each other, rather than collaborating to provide coordinated care. This can lead to a lack of communication between healthcare providers, resulting in duplication of services and missed opportunities to meet the health needs of patients. Fragmentation also makes it difficult for patients to navigate the health care system, as they may need to see multiple providers for different health problems. Finally, legacy health care is often criticized for its lack of focus on prevention and population health. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to treat serious illnesses and injuries instead of addressing the underlying causes of poor health. This can result in a system that is reactive rather than proactive, with less emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion. Potential Solutions for Legacy Healthcare One potential solution to legacy health care challenges is value-based care. Value-based care is a payment model that encourages healthcare providers to focus on patient outcomes rather than the quantity of services provided. This model rewards healthcare providers for achieving better health outcomes at lower costs, rather than simply providing more services. Value-based care can help address the issue of overuse, as healthcare providers are incentivized to provide only those services that are necessary to improve health outcomes for patients. Another potential solution to the challenges of legacy healthcare is healthcare integration. Healthcare integration refers to the coordination of care across different healthcare providers and settings. By integrating care, healthcare providers can better collaborate to provide patients with the right care at the right time. Healthcare integration can also help address the issue of fragmentation, as patients can receive more coordinated and well-organized care. Finally, prevention and population health can be prioritized by shifting the focus of the health care system to prevention and health promotion. This can be achieved through public health initiatives that address social determinants of health, such as
- 3. poverty, lack of access to healthy food, and inadequate housing. By addressing these underlying causes of poor health, healthcare providers can help prevent chronic. Crystal Run Healthcare:- Crystal Run Healthcare is a medical group based in New York's Hudson Valley Founded in 1996, the group now includes over 400 healthcare providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, serving over 350,000 patients annually.

They also offer specialty care services in over 20 areas, including cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, oncology, and orthopedics. The group's imaging services include X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, and CT scans. They also have urgent care centers that are open seven days a week, providing convenient and timely medical care for patients with non-life-threatening conditions. In addition to their medical services, Crystal Run Healthcare offers a number of patient-centered programs and services. These include a patient portal, which allows
- 4. patients to access their medical records, schedule appointments, and communicate with their healthcare providers online. The group also offers a diabetes education program, weight loss programs, and smoking cessation programs. These programs are designed to help patients manage their health and improve their overall well-being. One of the unique features of Crystal Run Healthcare is their commitment to population health management. The group has implemented a number of initiatives to improve the health of the communities they serve. These initiatives include care management programs for patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, and outreach programs to improve access to healthcare for underserved populations. The group also partners with local organizations and community groups to address social determinants of health, such as housing, food insecurity, and transportation. Crystal Run Healthcare has received recognition for their commitment to quality and patient-centered care. The group has been recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This designation recognizes healthcare providers who meet certain standards for patient-centered care, including providing coordinated and integrated care, using evidence-based medicine, and focusing on patient outcomes. The group has also received recognition for their use of technology to improve patient care. They have been recognized as a HIMSS Stage 7 organization, which is the highest level of recognition for healthcare organizations that have achieved a high level of electronic health record adoption and use. In conclusion, Crystal Run Healthcare is a medical group that is committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive medical care to their patients. Through their programs and services, they are improving the health of the communities they serve and helping patients to manage their health and well-being.
