Healthcare Retrospect Part 2: Skyrocketing Costs and the Emergence of Rate S...BESLER
This document provides a brief history of health care reform efforts in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s. It describes proposals and actions at both the national and New Jersey state levels, including Nixon's proposals for limited reform and Medicaid expansion, the establishment of hospital rate setting in New Jersey, implementation of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) for inpatient payments, and Clinton's failed attempt at comprehensive reform in the 1990s. The overarching theme is the rise in health care costs driving attempts to control costs through various payment mechanisms at both the state and national levels over this period.
The United States health care system has evolved from a tradition of local government responsibility for the poor to a mixed system with both public and private components. Key developments included the rise of hospitals and physicians in the late 19th century, the growth of private health insurance in the mid-20th century, and the creation of Medicare, Medicaid and managed care in the 1960s-1970s to address rising costs and access issues. However, debates continue around the appropriate role of government, consumers, providers and private industry in ensuring affordable, high quality health care for all Americans.
The document discusses the history of health policy and reform efforts in the United States over several decades. It outlines key programs and legislation from the 1900s onward that attempted to address issues of access, costs, and quality of healthcare. The document argues that meaningful reform is difficult due to the complexity of the healthcare system and the many political and economic interests involved. Future reform efforts will need to focus on reducing costs while improving quality and access.
The document discusses major health care policies and events that occurred in the United States between the 1960s and 1970s. Some key developments included the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 which provided health insurance to the elderly and poor. The Surgeon General's report on smoking was released in 1964, leading to increased regulation of tobacco. The Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 with the Roe v. Wade decision. Other policies focused on expanding access to family planning and reproductive health services. However, comprehensive national health insurance reform remained elusive despite numerous proposals throughout this period.
Medicare was created in 1965 to provide health insurance to older Americans. It has since expanded to cover those with disabilities. The document discusses key events and reforms in Medicare's history including the introduction of HMOs, DRG payments, new benefits like prescription drug coverage, and more recent policies focused on quality and cost-effectiveness such as ACOs, value-based purchasing, and electronic health records. Overall, Medicare has evolved significantly over the decades but maintains its central goal of ensuring healthcare access for millions of Americans.
The history of healthcare in the US shows rising costs over time and various attempts at reform. Early 1900s saw the rise of paid hospital care and surgery becoming common. The 1910s saw the beginnings of the health insurance movement despite opposition. In the 1930s, the Depression halted healthcare reforms despite Roosevelt's calls for reform. The 1940s saw the rise of employer provided health benefits and antibiotics. The 1960s saw Medicare and Medicaid passed under Johnson. Attempts at national healthcare failed under Nixon in the 1970s. By the 1990s, over 44 million Americans lacked health insurance, leading to the passage of Obamacare in 2010 in an effort to address rising costs and the uninsured.

The History of Welfare in America Essays
Welfare has been a safety net for many Americans, when the alternative for them is going without food and shelter. Over the years, the government has provided income for the unemployed, food assistance for the hungry, and health care for the poor. The federal government in the nineteenth century started to provide minimal benefits for the poor. During the twentieth century the United States federal government established a more substantial welfare system to help Americans when they most needed it. In 1996, welfare reform occurred under President Bill Clinton and it significantly changed the structure of welfare.

The Social Security Act of 1935 aims to organize a Social Security Board that will manage and administer the human welfare, to provide adequate plans and implement effective methods that will prevent potential problems of the state, a board that will organize to raise the revenue of the county for the general welfare by means of compensation, company expenses and the taxes, the organization that will protect the resources and associates of the federal government and provide assistance for all individual needs (Social Security Act of 1935). The outstanding program below the Social Security Act of 1935 is the Title I- Grants to States for Old-Age Assistance. The program was supported by the Social Welfare Organization, a part of a federal government organization. The Old-Age Assistance was authorized by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress (Social Security (n.d.)).

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"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."

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

Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:
