Problems Faced in the Medical Industries
Executive Summary
It is important for all health care professionals to ensure that due care is provides to them. This requires all qualified medical doctors give patients the time for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. In many health care centers, doctors may be overwhelmed leading to cases where their assistants have to step in and take over their role. In the process, this may compromise the quality of care accorded to the patients and may have significant ramifications legally and otherwise. There are, however, certain measures that can be taken to deal with this problem. One such measure rests on restructuring the system in a manner which the PA’s see them first and do the initial assessment, and then one of the doctors do the final assessment. This might mean cutting down the number of patients seen per day so that the PA’s and Doctors can better focus on taking good care of the ones they do see. This proposal will examine who this system will be implemented in a selected health care center highlighting the benefits that accrue from it.
Purpose
At Family Healthcare Associates, Inc. Physicians and their assistants have always been challenged with huge number of patients in their clinics. The aim of this strategy is to reduce the cost of operation for the clinic due to huge medical expenses available in the market today. Senior management needs to adopt a business like strategy to ensure the clinic remain a float and doctors have enough time to focus on each patient per specific period of time (Fattal, 2011).
Problem
The cost of maintaining Family Healthcare Associates, Inc. has also been a challenge due to increase in salaries and financial packages. These increases in financial expenditure by the clinic have made it impossible to manage doctor-patient relationship that most clinics have set standards for. These challenges can pose a threat to the health of many patients who require immediate medical attention on time. The Doctors have such a busy schedule that they do not have the personal one on one relationships with any of their patients that they need to have in order to fully know what is going on with their patients.
One of the most common scenarios where patients and doctors experience these challenges happens during emergencies. Doctors have to abandon their current patients in order to attend to more urgent emergencies of another patient (Gropper, 2009). This isn’t always a big problem in small clinics today, but it does happen from time to time. Sometimes doctors can leave the patient unattended for a long time which can cause health care problems for the patient in the future.

Abstract
Blessed Healthcare Facility is a newly emerging healthcare center located in Miami. This is a privately-owned hospital, which is administered and managed according to the Scheme of the Management approved by the Order of the High Court. This facility a total of 120 beds with 100 in-patient beds and 20 daycare beds. The inpatient specialties care includes gynecology, general surgery, and general medication. These are just but a few services being offered by this healthcare facility. Other services being offered include the Day Surgery; Chaplaincy services; physiotherapy and pharmaceutical services; radiology and the laboratory services; dietetic services, which are involving the provision of the nutritional assessment, education, and assessing the patients based on their nutritional status; and the consultant out-patient clinics. There is also service related to the continence management, control of the infections, palliative care as and the management of pain; and the clinical nurse's specialists in common illness such as diabetes.
Blessed Healthcare Facility Marketing Plan
Analysis of the Services
With regard to the Consultant Out-Patient Clinics, the goal of this facility is to move closer to home. This is aimed at adhering to the hospital policy which recommends for closer movement to home by the children specialist of this facility to ensure that the general pediatrics outpatient services are effectively provided. This approach is aimed at reducing the non-attendance during appointments. It also ensures that services are provided to more accessible regions thus helping in the creation of new physical clinic capacity. The goal of offering such kind of services is to help in increasing the number of pediatrics who are brought to the facility for clinic services (Hazel & Kussel, 2019).
With regard to Diagnostic Radiological and Laboratory services, there are pathological tests as well as x-ray examinations. The radiology department is providing high-quality diagnostic service to both in and outpatients. There are also radiology services for the Daycare, and these services are aimed at helping to diagnose the treatment. This, therefore, implies that most of the tests are done within the facility and patients are not referred to other facilities for laboratory procedures. Appointments are also allowed for the patients who are wishing to do so.
On physiotherapy services, the hospital has a staff who is experienced in the treatment of both in and out-patients by ensuring that patients are safe to achieve the optimum potential within the shortest time possible. Physiotherapists in this facility are .

Mayo clinic health system is a non-profit health organization that is based in Rochester, Minnesota and has a large number of employees ranging from 3900 physicians as well as more than 50,000 related health staff. This health care system has qualifications in scientific research and has been able to treat difficult health cases making it be one of the best organizations in the city. In terms of physical settings, Mayo clinic has presence in United States metropolitan areas of Arizona and Florida and also operates associated facilities right through Minnesota and Wisconsin. It has a very large college of medicine which also includes Mayo Medical School and Mayo School of Health Sciences (Ludwig, Viggiano, Mcgill & Oh, 1980).
Mayo clinic provides medical care for thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world; its client's bases are based on appointments as well as referrals by doctors from neighboring clinics. Many of the patients who are treated are serviced on outpatient basis which means that all the evaluations and treatments are done in this clinic. Most patients may return home after treatment while most patients who require inpatient care are always hospitalized in the clinic which is located on different campuses (Laurie, Moertel, Fleming, Wieand, Leigh, Rubin & Malliard, 1989).This medical facility has been able to provide best care to every patient and this is based on thorough clinical practice, research and education which are the secrets to success. Its model of care is defined by quality medical care delivery which includes meeting the needs of the patients. Delivery is based on care provided with compassion and trust among the physicians as well as respect.
According to the level of clinical activity, Mayo clinic is the world's largest multispecialty group medical practice which has been able to combine research, education and clinical practice to realize its activities of providing health care needs to patients and clients. It fosters team-oriented care and accountability hence has promoted absolute clinical excellence which has increased the level of clinical activities in this institution. It has specialized in information continuity as well as care coordination and transitions which have promoted easy access to appropriate care and information at all hours (Berry, 2004).
(Berry, 2004) says that Mayo clinic has developed an organizational structure that includes 386 dentists and physicians. It is such as multi-specialty clinic in which doctors share facilities, income, support staff and equipment. This clinic has been designed to serve the needs of patients in a convenient location where physicians are able to consult with each other and provide quality healthcare to the patients. Patients of Mayo clinic have learnt to develop relationships with support and administrative staff that ...

I enjoyed reading your post and I completely agree with your points. I would like to comment on one of your points regarding controlling the quality of care by using independent contractors. There are benefits to this initiatives, but there could be disadvantages too. The benefit of using teams of experts that you did not hire saves the organization costs associated with keeping full time employees, and patients are seen in a timely manner (In some cases). Many years ago, some departsments in a HMO that I work for had access problem such as patients having to wait 3-4 weeks when they need to see a specialist within the organization. No patient with ear infection or difficulty swallowing wants to wait for 3 three weeks to be seen.
We were sending patients outside for urgent MRIs, CT scans, as well as to different specialists even though the company has capabilities to perform some of these functions in house. Apart from the rising costs this created, the level of patients dissatisfaction went through the roof as some patients get to their appointments and were told that referrals that were to be autofaxed to the outside vendors were never received. Some patients were sent away (no referral, no service). Our Utilization Management department was bombarded with approving these external referrals. We have improved, regrouped, and expanded. State of the art facilities were built and still continue to be built, More physicians, nurses, and support staff were hired, and our patient satifaction rate has grown greatly. For example, we used to send our deaf patients to John's Hopkins Hospital for cochlear implants which cost way over hundred thousand dollars, but that's done in house now

Quality of care is a very sensitive subject for every party involved in the healthcare system. They all have different perspectives, each looking at healthcare from a different lens. Patients see quality of care in the results of their treatment and whether their treatment was effective immediately. It can also be measured by how the provider thinks, If a provider were to say that a patient would heal in 2 weeks, the patient would check for the dulling of pain around 2 weeks after the visit. Providers, on the other hand, see quality of care as the credentials that they need to get in order to renew and keep their license to practice.
Quality has its place in the healthcare system, with its positives and negatives. The positives are that it creates an air of steady improvement within competing facilities, and that it encompasses the entire scope of the patient's feelings and their care, such as the friendliness of staff to the patient, and number of services provided. The negatives are that the rating system could list quality as bad for a number of reasons that culminate in the spirit of customer service, and that constant high quality for providers means that their licenses are constantly being improved with items that fit the demanding.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
