After reading all 4 scenarios for primary care, by 2025 and
reading several articles. I believe the U.S. healthcare system
will represent scenarios 1 and scenarios 4 due to the rapid
changes in technology. With the electronic health records
(EHR) and new technologies emerging this will improve quality
of care, while reducing cost, and by allowing patients to
monitor, record, and participate in their own preventive care,
progress, and which will produce better outcome for each
individual needs (Ginter, P.M.; Duncan, W.J.; Swayne, L.E.
2013). New technology will make it easier for patients to
address their questions and concern by phone or online access
to their physician directly.
Based on today’s issue due to cuts in the federal health care
spending, Medicare restricting payments to hospitals that
perform sufficient amount of surgical procedures where this is
known to result in better outcomes, and the global debit crisis
which has put the country in a recession with healthcare being
hit the harder due to millions of Americans are still uninsured,
employees are paying higher premium and out of pocket for
health care has contributed to the lack of affordable health
insurance, and high quality of care (Ward, M.; Daniels, S.A.;
Walker. G.J.; and Duckett, S. 2007).
Even though physicians are more likely to receive a financial
incentive for improving on the quality of care while controlling
the volume of service they provide and deliver (Ward, M.:
Daniels, S.A.; Walker, G.J.; and Duckett, S. 2007).
In my scenarios in health care in 2025 will be due to people are
starting to live, longer, and healthy lives due to becoming more
involved in their own preventive care by changing their eating
habits and exercising more. I believe within the next 10 to 15

2. years that majority of Americans will receive free preventive
maintain services; safer hospitals; ability to access their own
medical records; more affordable health care with lower
increases in insurance premiums; more information about prices
on diagnosis codes, procedures codes, and quality of care
(Ezekiel, E. 2014). With Electronic health records (EHR) and
new technology emerging with be a major tool in helping
patients monitor their own blood pressure, glucose levels, and
participate more in their own health care while increasing
patient contact by phone, email, or online with their personal
physicians without having to wait for hours for a response.
There concerns can be addressed more quickly.

has come a long way in such a short period of time and will
continue on this model of rapid growth within the next few
years as well. This is not only to the medical breakthroughs and
te
ch
niques
which are utilized but also the health care field and client based
experiences which patients rely on. These changes encompass
access
i
bility
through
technology as well as government regulations in medicine.

3. After reading through the perspectives, perspectives 1 and 4
seem to not only be the most
likel
y
, but also can be reflected with our current healthcare systems
we have in place. It is already possible for patients to receive
care through the use of technology. A bad example of this
would be the use of
Web
MD
by patients to self diagnose their illnesses by
sear
ching
through a poorly curated database
(Funt, 2011)
.
The answer to this in recent years has been the ability,
presented by some companies, to be able to live chat and even
video conference with healthcare professionals in order to better
diagnose minor
il
l
nesses
. The issue with this is that at this point in time, these tools are
only available to some based on either the company they work
for and or the insurance plan that they have.
I

it can be
for
e
seen
that the healthcare industry will have the ability to go
pa
per
less
with the use of
e
lectronic medical records
and electronic health records
as standard
practice
.
"We have point-and-click instead of having to write long notes,
which reduces the time it takes to chart and gives them more
time with patients," said Tammy S. Hogue, a registered nurse at
the heart hospital (
Paper
less, 2004, 449)
.
This
in
conju

with the use of these e doctors would allow for patients to
become more involved with the healthcare process.
Thi
s
will allow those who have access or authorization
such as
health care professionals in different
fields
to view and share medical records
about mutual patients in order for them, as well as the patient,
to better understand their medical standing.
The issue of
access
i
bility
to
healthcare
is not only
ad
d
ressed

gove
rnment'
s
ability to provide affordable solutions to patients.
As the population of the US gains access to affordable
healthcare solutions,
there
will be an influx in patient care in doctors offices and
emergency rooms even in the case of non
emergencies
. As
stated
in
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
,
"
This type of telemedicine system guarantees patient supervision
while reducing costs (enabling more autonomous patient care
and avoiding hospital overflows). Furthermore, patients’"
quality of life and empowerment are
improved
"
(
Lasierra, N., Alesanco, A., Guillén, S., &

7. García
, J
, 2013, pg 516
).
This can only be done if patients are educated correctly on
preventative
measures
and health care practices. This will allow for a healthier
population with greater accessibility to healthcare professionals.
