Humanity is protected by a medical centre or hospital. Aside from that, profit is more critical because it is also a corporation. One of the most important aspects is revenue management, as running a hospital requires a lot of luck. Various hospitals and health care facilities can be found all over us. With the growing number of cases of various illnesses, it is becoming increasingly difficult and unsustainable to keep moving to different locations for different treatments. Many new diseases have arisen as a result of our sedentary lifestyle, and they require multi-specialists to treat.

A Roadmap for Optimizing Clinical Decision SupportHealth Catalyst
Compared to industries such as aerospace and automotive, healthcare lags behind in decision support innovation. Following the aerospace and automotive arenas, healthcare can learn critical lessons about improving its clinical decision support capabilities to help clinicians make more efficient, data-informed decisions:
Achieve widespread digitization: Healthcare must digitize its assets and operations (patient registration, scheduling, encounters, diagnosis, orders, billings, and claims) for effective CDS similarly to how aerospace digitized the aircraft, air traffic control, baggage handling, ticketing, maintenance, and manufacturing.
Build data volume and scope: Healthcare must collect socioeconomic, genomic, patient-reported outcomes, claims data, and more to truly understand the patient at the center of the human health data ecosystem.

1. Jamaica Healthcare System
The country healthcare system I chose to write about is Jamaica. There are twenty-four public hospitals and estimates of three hundred and forty healthcare center, and ten private hospitals (Commonwealth Health Online, 2019). In Jamaica, there is public healthcare that is free to all citizens and legal residents that is subsidized by the government. But if the person is working, then they pay a share cost for public healthcare. This also includes prescription drugs. Which a third of the pharmaceutical are imported in from the USA (Commonwealth Health Online, 2019). There is a longer wait time to see a physician at the public hospital or clinic. If a person lives in a remote part of the island, they are limited to quality emergency care. You would have to travel to the larger cities like Kingston Jamaica. According to InterNations.org they stated that the public hospital is “often unreliable, frequently overcrowded, and have low funding from the government “(InterNations 2018). They also said that pharmacies usually have a shortage of free medication and offer overpaid medicines to the patient. So, this means many people go without prescribed medication. But in Jamaica, they do have private healthcare institutions. Private health insurance is offered by some employer or those who can afford to pay cash for their care. Private healthcare provides a higher standard of care to their patients. It is said that people get a better quality of care in private hospitals vs. the public health facility.
Many of the island hospitals that offers state-of-the-art medical technology are a private hospital that accepts private insurance. They offer state of the art three-dimensional ultrasound scan, x-rays, CT scans, mammograms, fluoroscopy, etc. These hospitals are in located in larger parts of Kingston, Jamaica.
One pro for Jamaica healthcare is that they have free healthcare for their citizen. But a con to their healthcare system would be the shortage of free medication. This means many people are still suffering from their injuries or sick because they do not have access to the prescribed medication by the doctor.
Both Jamaica and the U.S offer free healthcare to their citizen. Jamaica state-of-the-art medical technology is similarities the United States. In the United States, if you live in a rural area, you must travel to get medical care just like in Jamaica. One significant difference between the two countries healthcare system is there is not a shortage of prescribing medication for people who have free healthcare in the U.S. But in Jamaica, they are faced with a shortage of medicines because they do not have the same regulation as the United States for healthcare.

Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
