Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center
Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center (SCVMC) is a large 343–bed hospital that has been serving the South Bay
community in San Diego County since 1979. This facility is affiliated with over 450 physicians and employs in excess of 2,000 people. Needless to
say, the SCVMC Health Information Management Department is extremely busy! The HIM department of SCVMC has a staff of 51 people in
various positions including Clerical Assistants, Optical Imaging Specialists, Medical Coders, and Supervisors. At this time, Sharp employs XX RHITS
and XX RHIAS in the department. Records Organization Sharp is an early adopter of electronic patient records. In fact, this facility first started using a
basic form of patient electronic records in 1984. Since 2008, the HIM department has been fully integrated with the admissions department which all
works together to ensure that registration, healthcare records and billing data management is as seamless as possible. Registration Sharp uses a
program called OnBase for patient registration. When patients arrive at the hospital, the admitting clerk scans their driver's license and insurance card.
Conditions of admission are displayed in electronic form and patients sign on an electronic tablet to indicate consent. Paper versions of patient
registration is printed only when requested by the patient, otherwise registration is totally paperless. Information in OnBase is fed into several
applications, including Sharp's

Clara Medical Center Observation
Fortunately, for my third agency this semester I will have the opportunity to observe the staff of Clara Maass Medical Center which is a facility
managed by Saint Barnabas Health. When I called this facility to obtain information, I was directed to the hospital's volunteer department. The
supervisor of the department briefed me on the application process and provided me with a list of department choices for my observation. The
departments that I selected were Emergency and Wound Care because they encounter various patients on a daily basis. Thehospital environment

Dr. Fox's Lab
Dr. Fox is an emergency physician at UCI Medical Center, treating and diagnosing patients using an ultrasound. His scope of research involves looking
at patients' internal organs via ultrasound, which is much quicker and less harmful than using x–ray scans that are traditionally used in emergency
departments. He is also a part of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine ("Faculty and Staff"). Dr. Fox is also a director of instructional
ultrasound and is the assistant dean at the UCI School of Medicine ("John Christian Fox"). He started an ultrasound rotation at the UCI School of
Medicine, and with a grant given by SonoSite, Inc., the ultrasound curriculum is now embedded within the UCI School of Medicine curriculum
("Faculty and Staff"). He went to Tufts University School of Medicine, receiving his MD in 1997 ("John Christian Fox"). His main research focus is to
try to incorporate ultrasound more into the emergency department, and tries to find revolutionary ways to utilize ultrasound, especially because it is
very cost–efficient and images are seen real–time, unlike MRI scans or x–rays, which can emit harmful radiation or results take much longer to
acquire. Eric Viquez is one of the Bio 199/EMRAP (Emergency Medicine Research Associates Program) students in Dr. Fox's ultrasound lab. He is
currently a 4th year undergraduate biological sciences major who is going to medical school in the fall; he shadows shifts with Dr. Fox and

The Patient Center Medical Home
This paper discusses the Patient Center Medical Home (PCMH), which is used by many HealthCare organizations around the United States (US)
and the world. The goal is to look at the impact Patient Center Medical Home (PCMH) and the outcomes for Americans, and help Primary Health
Care adopt the Patient Center Medical Home model. The key factors the paper will focus on are the cost and access to healthcare services how to
improve PCMH in the US and challenges that faced by PCMH adoption. The Patient Center Medical Home The United States (US) cost of health
is higher than other countries. The population health status has improved but more work needs to be done. However, in 2007 the US spent $7,290
per capital on health care. In the early 1990's health care spending was $714 billion by 2007 the spending was 2.2 trillion dollars (Berryman,
Palmer, Kohl, & Parham, 2013). This shows how the healthcare system compared to other to amount spent in several other countries (Mahon & Fox,
2010). Hence the US is ranked last overall in health system performance (Mahon& Fox,2010). The US health system is in need of improvement.
Furthermore, since the Health Care Reform act was passed in 2010 more Americans have access to health insurance and primary provides have to be
able to treat the new growing population. The main purpose the PCMH was to help at the national level from Health Reform Act to make sure the
American people have access to affordable healthcare (Berryman,

(helpguide, 2012) Effective care for older patients requires an accurate assessment of the elderly's health status. Physical, psychological, social, and
behavioral and health system factors may influence their health status. Functional health status includes: a) basic activities of daily living; dressing,
feeding, bathing, toileting, transfer–moving inside and round the house, b) instrumental activities of daily living; shopping, laundry, cooking,
housekeeping, taking medication, managing money, c) advanced activities of daily living; social activity, occupation, recreation. Cognitive function
assessment includes: attention span, concentration, intelligence, judgment, learning ability, memory, orientation, perception, problem solving,
psychomotor ability, reaction time, social intactness. (ispub, 2012)
A negative impact on the community and the medical center may be that the populace of elderly becomes a majority in the coming years and more
facilities for the elderly will have to accommodate them. Mainstreaming older people into primary health care programs may be an option that the
medical center put into implementation. (oxford, 2012) Looking down the road in three years, the goal would be to develop a system of collaboration
between the medical center and the community through analyzing, accessing, and
sharing information on existing and future data for present and future workforce demands. The findings of the research data could be

There are three acute care hospitals in Bay County area: Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center, Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System and
Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast. All three hospitals provide emergency services, outpatient department is able to accept lab results
electronically from outside laboratories in the different hospitals, use electronic record system in order to track lab tests and results of their patients
and use safe surgery checklist for both inpatient and outpatient checklist for safe surgery results.
Survey of patient's experiences is important source of information of the quality of health care provided by the particular hospital, which allows patients
to compare the hospitals in the area. The HCAHPS star rating of Gulf Coast Hospital and Bay Medical Center is two stars, while Sacred Heart
Hospital is rated with four stars on the excellence of care. The outliner indicators for Gulf Coast Medical Center in the survey of patients' experiences
on the question: "How often did patients receive help quickly from the hospital staff?" shows that 74% patients pick the answer "always

The practice of co–branding is a relatively new technique utilized in the health care industry, which applies when one organization markets its name
alongside another brand name. In this example of co–branding, the government of Vietnam wants to create an affiliation with Stanford Medical Center
and its major national hospital in Saigon. This venture would include sending clinicians over to Vietnam to monitor, train and help and monitor its
quality programs. In this situation, the Vietnamese hospital is looking to gain benefit from the Stanford Medical Center in what can be termed the

The Vietnamese government also wants to continue to improve and develop more sophisticated business practices to develop itself as a medical
tourism center, but could possibly run into problems with medications that are counterfeit or corruption within the facility, which could ultimately
reflect negatively on the well–known and well–respected academic medical centers brand name with people coming in from all over the world to
receive treatments in Vietnams facility. Another factor that the Stanford Medical Center must consider before taking on this joint venture, is the fact
that the ultimate purpose of entering a co–branding situation, the whole should be greater than the sum of the parts and to an extent, they will be
relying on the Vietnamese hospitals brand equity, which, could make the Stanford Medical Center appear weak or secondary in the host country.22 The
approach used by Johns Hopkins Medicine was a conservative approach that is similar to the situation with the Stanford Medical Center, in which,
Stanford will be able to further its mission of promoting more effective and compassionate care around the world as well as attract international
students to its university and enhance its name. If the reputation of the Stanford Medical Center grows and flourishes, as will the numbers of referrals

This facility is one of four facilities under the management of Indiana University Department of Medicine. An interesting fact about Methodist is that it
was one of the first hospitals to investigate the use of insulin, the first lithotripter was installed there, and it was the host of the first open heart surgery,
heart transplant, and lung transplant for Indiana. Jackson Memorial Hospital, jacksonhealth.org/community–mission.asp, is a large public hospital in
the Miami area. It is the home of the Ryder Trauma Center, which is the only adult and pediatric Level 1 trauma center. It is also a part of the Jackson
Health System, which is under the management of the Public Health Trust. Although the Methodist Hospital does not provide a personalized mission
and vision statement, the Department of Medicine at Indiana University provides the values of the department that staffs the hospitals in network with
the university. Within the values statements, the university says they have "three missions" they like to strive for: teaching, service, and research.
Compared to the mission statement provided for Jackson Memorial, Methodist Hospital's clinical service value is very much more patient oriented.
Jackson Memorial used a broader term, "health of the community", while Methodist Hospital wrote " We value state–of–the–art, compassionate,

If the hospital creates an ineffective budget then the hospital will have to make tough decisions on holding off certain non–vital services to veterans
until the new fiscal year. Also, by creating an effective budget it will benefit management because they will be able to keep their jobs for using the tax
payer's money effectively. If they create an ineffective budget and veterans services are delayed then some management may lose their jobs.
In outlining a budget there are two phases that must be determined to create a budget, an operating phase and a financial phase. "Developing a new
operating budget starts with examining budgets from previous years and identifying what components are going to change, by how much and if any
new components need to be added or existing ones reduced or cut" (Budget Challenges, 2012). In the first phase of the budget it needs to be
determined how much money is going to be needed to operate the day to day activities of the business.

If significant advances in its special service lines are made it would allow the medical center to raise its capabilities considerably above those of
other surrounding hospitals and function as a regional referral center for selected types of care (Zuckerman, 2005). An example of adding a new
piece of advanced medical equipment is that our facility could be the first one to offer that service in the area. Especially if the new piece of
equipment is a special new diagnostic tool; other medical treatment facilities in the area could place referrals to our which would increase our revenues
even more or the patient could move to our practice at our facility. In the end the it might have cost some money but the return could be greater than
without out the new equipment which could lead to more new advanced technology for the medical center. A threat that could happen to the medical
center if we became fully staffed could be potential poaching of other medical facilities to hire our employees. "Some experts believe that large,

University Medical Center At Dallas
The Early Years (1909–1990s)
Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas was established as Texas Baptist Memorial Sanitarium. Chartered on Oct. 16, 1903, by the State of Texas,
the hospital began in a 14–room renovated house. In 1900, there were 3 contributors who founded Baylor and one of them was who are Charles M.
Rosser, M.D., founder of the Baylor College of Medicine, who saw the need for "a hospital of great importance" for a growing city like Dallas, and
which would support the medical school. The second founder was Rev. George W. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, convinced
Dallas citizens "to build a great humanitarian hospital," and thirdly, Colonel C.C. Slaughter, a devout Baptist and wealthy cattleman, gives a major gift
of $50,000 to establish the hospital. There were many contributors who helped raise funds for the hospital and one of them was The Baptist General
Convention of Texas.
Another discovery was that of Texas Baptist Memorial Sanitarium in 1909 which moved into a new 250–bed facility and opened as the Southwest 's
most modern hospital. The Baylor University School of Nursing began around the same time and this was due to a generous donation from Col. C.C.
Slaughter, and one of his last ones before he died in 1919. It is estimated that he contributed to more than $200,000. In 1921 Texas Baptist Memorial
Sanitarium becomes Baylor Hospital to reflect its relationship with Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The hospital, located in

Crawford and Schultz (2014) summarized Big Data as "a generalized, imprecise term that refers to the use of large data sets in data science and
predictive analytics (p. 96). The various sources of retrieving and generating information has expanded and exposed its vulnerability, especially to
health data. A single breach holds risks of sharing critical information from a multitude of patients' records. Predictive privacy harms, which are
collected information that centers on individual data behaviors, have the potential to sidestep existing antidiscrimination regulations, but also lead
to privacy breaches in healthcare (Crawford & Schultz, 2014). In the U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Jones there were concerns
expressed about invasions of privacy that could result in direct collection of large amounts of personal information through Global Position System
(GPS) monitoring. This type of governmental power is vulnerable to abuse, endangerment of privacy rights of citizens, and weaken trust in the
government (Crawford & Schultz, 2014). Crawford and Schultz (2014) state that John Locke and William Blackstone defined liberty, as it pertains
to an individual, as an "unabridged natural right follow his or her own will". (p.111) In a sense, if an individual believes privacy fits the bill, then it
should be respected and left alone. Big Data faces many obstacles when it comes to the topic of privacy. The question of how to correctly respond to
each challenge may vary, but success can come if both just and achievable protections are present for those at risk for this type of

Market Trends
Market trends for the company are now poor, as other local businesses have moved out of the area. Community South Medical Center could benefit
from figuring out the reasons behind the moves. In addition, this would be a good time for the center to gain dominance over the market by revamping
their strategic plan since the competition has been diminished by the moves. By finding resourceful ways to manage the changes of the strategic plan,
Community South Medical Center can effectively pull themselves out of the red and become a leading medical facility once again.
Changes in infrastructure are also affecting marketing trends for Community South Medical Center. According to Waldman (2009), "Health is

The Surgery : Medical Center
In December of 2013, Caroline Carcerano went to Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts to have done what her surgeon said would be a
"brief" procedure to relieve her lingering back pain. This was not the case and two days later, Carcerano was dead. Carcerano's surgery was
supposed to be a simple procedure where surgeons were going to insert a pump under her skin so that medication could get into her spine quickly and
help alleviate her lingering pain. Carcerano has previously fallen and broken several vertebrae, but even after fusing the vertebra together, the pain,
along with leg spasms and weakened bones, was still a chronic issue. The surgery went as planned is what the article reports. Carcerano was put to
sleep, the pump was inserted, and a dye was pushed through the pump to make sure that the placement in the spine was correct. The dye that was
ordered for the surgery wasn't in stock at the hospital that day, so the pharmacist sent up a different dye that was supposed to be equal to what was
ordered. Unfortunately, the dye that was used in the surgery was completely wrong and even had the statement "not for intrathecal use"
(bostonglobe.com)written on the box, meaning that this dye was to NEVER be used or injected into the spine. The day after surgery, after Carcerano
had woken from the surgery with extreme pain and seizures, it was discovered that the wrong dye had been used. The surgeon who injected the dye, Dr.

Healthcare Outcomes Of North Mississippi Medical Center
Healthcare outcomes have become increasingly important, as organizations strive to improve quality and efficiency of care, while controlling cost.
North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) has become a model of instituting strategies that contribute to high efficiency. According to Carroll
&Edwards, "Leaders at NMMC believe that by focusing on serving patients, empowering staff, and improving health care quality, lower cost and
growth will naturally follow". Just as NMMC has excelled at improving quality and lowering cost, The University of Alabama at Birmingham Health
System (UAB) also understands the importance of resource utilization and controlling cost. Similar to NMMC's clinical care guidelines, UAB has
implemented strategies to improve efficiency and resource utilization. UAB Care was started in January 2014. "Every Patient, Every Time," that is
the foundation of UAB Care. UAB Care is an on–going hospital wide initiative focused on using evidence–based practices for certain clinical
conditions such as Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Sepsis and Ventricular Assist Device (VSD). The goal is to make sure the same guidelines are
used in every case. UAB Care was initiated under the belief that providing consistent, evidence–based care defined by faculty, and hardwired that care
into the system, it would improve the quality, safety, and patient outcomes of the patient, while also improving patient, family and employee
satisfaction. The overall goal is to improve the

Medical Call Centers Analysis
Medical call centers are vital to health care organizations as they have the ability to rapidly respond to patients, minimize the burden on administrative
staff and improve the patient experience. It is also well known that medical call centers can optimize call flow, potentially increase revenue, improve
patient satisfaction and assist in improving medical office efficiency. However, many call centers are challenged with developing solutions to provide
quality service to patients and other callers. A call center was recently established in The Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand Center at Mercy Medical
Center in March of this year. While establishing the call center has been beneficial, it has also presented challenges that prevent patients and other
callers from having a high quality experience. These challenges present new opportunities to implement solutions that can lead to positive outcomes....
This often begins with properly handling incoming phone calls. Developing a process improvement plan for the Upper Extremity Clinic's call center
will establish an organized approach to enhance software capabilities, call center functions and performance measures. A method of analysis to develop
a plan for improvement includes the Plan–Do–Study–Act (PDSA) Model, a commonly used process improvement tool in healthcare. This quality
improvement model ensures that achievable measures are produced to create improvement. Although time constraints prevented the implementation of
the improvement plan, the recommended solutions are vital to developing a quality call center that will foster a positive patient experience while

avoid this, it is much easier to find the correct point and then select the city closest to it. A circumcenter is the point at which the perpendicular bisectors

An angle bisector is a line dividing an angle in two. The orthocenter is the point of intersection of the three altitudes of a triangle. The three
altitudes of a triangle are lines that create a perpendicular line on one side of the triangle with the vertex of the opposite side. The orthocenter varies
strongly depending on the specific triangle. The distances between the orthocenter and the vertices are always very different, and in our situation, the
location of the hospital would be ridiculously close to one of the cities, and very far from the others. A person could use the incenter for the answer
in the hospital problem because it accounts for the trails/paths taken to one city from another. However, it doesn't account for the cities, only their
paths. Someone might use the centroid for the hospital problem because the centroid has equal area surrounding it, which is why it is considered the
center of gravity, as it is where everything balances equally. Because of this, the area between each of the hospitals' paths are equal. However, it still
isn't of equal distance from each of the three capitals. A person would use the circumcenter because it would be equidistant from each of the three
cities, making the traveling time for each equal and fair. The circumcenter is clearly the best option. Out of the four, it makes the most sense because it
is equidistant from each

The University Of Nebraska Medical Center
The University of Nebraska Medical Center–Omaha has recently been recognized for excellence in accommodating individuals with disabilities. This
is an excellent accomplishment and one that everyone should be proud of. The state of Nebraska, the State Medical Board, and all persons with
disabilities who visit the medical center are very proud of this accomplishment and recognition.
As a diversity consultant, I am very familiar with the ADA, the persistence it takes to maintain it and the key elements of a team to be successful. The
University of Nebraska Medical Center–Omaha, brought me here just a few short months ago to see what could be done to perfect the program. There
were some small adjustments to be made, but overall the program here is working beautifully.
The ADA was first established July 26, 1990. The program began in 1988 when many people in the United States began to challenge social barriers
that were excluding them and their disabled children from being part of their communities (Mayerson, 1992). Prior to the ADA, no federal law
prohibited discrimination against people with disabilities (McNeil, 2014). Local groups began to establish and advocate for the rights of all people
with disabilities. Thousands of people rallied together to create an equal disability rights movement, allowing people with disabilities to do things equal
to those without disabilities.
Many years ago segregation toward people with disabilities was "normal;" many people believed in the

History Of Medicine During The Orlando Regional Medical...
My introduction to medicine began when I was twelve, and my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia. At the time, my family had
just moved to Florida, while he remained in Puerto Rico. Every visit back was a new rung on the ladder of his descent into dementia, with him
remembering less and less of me, my siblings, and my parents. His death came abruptly, but brought catharsis, acceptance, and the celebration of
all our memories with him. He is a constant source of motivation and inspiration to become a doctor. My own loss sparked a desire to help others
through tough times. I therefore began volunteering at the Orlando Regional Medical Center, where I consoled people going through those times,
and let them disclose their feelings with tears and words the way I needed to when I was in their shoes. Unfortunately, I also met people who were
dying and had no visitors to support them through their death. For instance, I visited a woman on several occasions and shared a few laughs and
stories with her. She ultimately died from C. difficile over a period of three weeks in the hospital. At those moments, I was glad patients like her had
someone with them, even if I was a stranger to them. Still, there were much happier occasions where families learned their sons and daughters and
parents were alive, recovering, or asking for their company. Through all this, I recognized the fear and pain they felt, and helped them move forward.
Care, compassion, and empathy are all

California Hospital Medical Center ( Chmc )
California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC), has seen several changes over the past decades. Upon its creation in 1887 as the very first hospital in
Los Angeles (LA), CHMC remains a cornerstone of LA and a recognized leader in excellence, innovation and community service. CHMC is a member
of the Dignity Health and is accredited by the Joint Commission. The hospital provides services to patient populations ranging from pediatrics to
geriatrics, emergency medicine to gynecology, cardiology to obstetrics, transitional care unit to rehabilitation services, obstetrics to neonatal intensive
care units, surgical services and cancer center. CHMC internal strength, lies in the hospital's reputation as a dynamic and forward thinking organization.
The following functional areas will be examine in light with the hospital's internal strengths: clinical operations, information systems, marketing,
clinical support, human resources and financial administration. When the hospital was founded in 1887, California hospital was owned and operated
by physicians. By 1902, CHMC transformed into the largest and best–equipped physician–owned hospital West of Chicago. In 1889, the first X–rays
taken in LA were performed at California Hospital by Dr. Albert Soiland with equipment he built himself at home. In 1944, the hospital became a
supply depot for the new miracle drug penicillin and in 1984, it began family medicine residency program in conjunction with the University of

The Role Of Patient Care At Madigan Army Medical Center Essay
Interview Paper On October 22, 2016 I interviewed Major Alicia Robinson, nursing informaticist at Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC), a 220
bed military hospital located on Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA, approximately 45 minutes south of Seattle. Madigan Army Medical Center is
considered the second largest military treatment facility. It is also one of the two designated level trauma II medical centers in the Army, as well as,
only one of the four in the state of Washington (Major Robinson, personal communication, October 22, 2016).
Major Robinson stated that she has been in this position for two years and has previously worked as a staff nurse on the Medical Surgical Floor. She
is an active duty officer who has a BSN in nursing and is certified in informatics. Ultimately, after working bedside nursing she decided to focus on
informatics because of an interest in advancing military medical systems (personal communication, October 22, 2016). The following questions were
asked during the interview and her responses are immediately following.
Describe the Use of Patient Care Technologies to Deliver and Enhance Care
Major Robinson stated that the military systems are behind in terms of technologies compared to civilian counterparts. For example, big changes are
expected because scanning will become a standard of care on the inpatient and outpatient areas of the hospital with implementation of a new computer
system summer 2017; this has been a standard of care

Emanuel Medical Center
Introduction This paper strives to answer questions based on the case study "Emanuel Medical Center: Crisis in the Health Care Industry". As
excerpted directly from the case study, Mr. Robert Moen, Emanuel Medical Center (EMC) president and CEO, was experiencing a number of
challenges in 2002. The medical center faced numerous challenges in its external and internal environment. First, EMC garnered an onslaught of
negative attention for the "Haley Eckman incident" in which a young man, who happened to be a gang member, died within view of EMC's
Emergency Department (ED) medical personnel rendered no care and watched. The emergency department at EMC was also experiencing greater
pressure to deliver services in an increasingly... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Second, he has the option of merging with a competing HMO. This option would have both a positive and negative impact. It would offer a little
more flexibility for EMC to more effectively matchup to building competitive pressures in its external environment. But, it may also mean that the
current organizational leadership might be forced to relinquish operational control. From a strategic perspective, in order to address its organizational
needs, EMC stands a better chance if anchored to a larger, more financially and structurally sound medical entity through the option of a merger.
Benefits would include gaining increased bargaining power, the improved ability to retain its best and brightest, a "longer reach" in attracting quality
personnel from all around the state or the country at large and a better position from which to compete for customers. Moen also has the option of
closing the ED. However, this would also have both positive and negative effects. The strategy would alleviate a vast majority of EMC's glaring
problems concentrated around the ED; two of which the ever–worsening challenge of a nursing shortage and retaining its quality nursing staff, as well
as decrease the financial burden EMC carries from providing

Organizational Structure And Leadership Style Of Greater...
Organizational Analysis: Greater Baltimore Medical Center
The adaptability of healthcare industries in an evolving world of change requires dynamics to identifying weakness and distinction. Often times, these
organizational modifications mirror changes in the society. They are inspired by collective experiences, perceptions, norms, values, economics and
political forces at a given particular period (Thomas, 2014). The purpose of this paper is to explore the organizational structure and leadership style of
Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), identify its culture, mission, values and goals. The complex adaptive system, level of greatness and
readiness for change will also be addressed.
Complex Adaptive System
Currently, the complexity of the adaptive system of the healthcare organizational structure remains convoluted due to the opposition to change, the fear
of the unknown and the acceptance of unpredictability. According to Plesk & Greenhalgh (2001), the complex adaptive system (CAS) in the
21st–century healthcare organization comprises of a group of individual representatives with the autonomy to operate in a manner that is not entirely
foreseeable thereby hindering the outcome of other agents. Due to multiple disciplines operating collectively to achieving the desired outcome, work
environment could be inhabitable for some while adapting to change. One of the challenges of the transformation of the CAS is the perception of
seeing the whole as the sum of its parts,

Einstein Medical Center services a largely urban patient population. Located in North Philadelphia, the medical center caters to various ethnic groups.
The majority of North Philadelphia's population consists of African Americans and Hispanics, mainly Puerto Ricans. Although there is a significant
presence of many other racial groups including Irish, Dominican, White Americans, and Italians, North Philadelphia has the highest percentage of
Puerto Ricans in the nation (United States Census Bureau). "According to the American Heart Association, the cardiovascular disease death rate
among African Americans is 34 percent higher than for the overall U.S. population" (Seconds Count.org). The American Heart Association states that
heart disease is the number one cause of death for all Americans and strokes are the fifth highest. Much like African Americans, Hispanics and Latinos
"face even higher risks of cardiovascular diseases" (American Heart Association). Since North Philadelphia's population is comprised of mainly African
Americans and Hispanics, the hospital patient population will most likely present with more cases of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, more than half of North Philadelphia's population and 28% of the entire city live below the federal poverty line, about $20,000 of income
per year (United States Census Bureau). North Philadelphia's diverse and impoverished population correlates to a low–income/impoverished patient

Analysis Of The Grinnell Regional Medical Center (GRMC)
Having the ability and desire to change in today's every changing culture is a necessity for an organization in order for it to succeed (Kotter &
Cohen, 2002). Change can occur on a large scale such as a complete makeover or it can be on a small scale such as employees within the
organization. In this paper we will discuss a change initiative within the organization of the Grinnell Regional Medical Center (GRMC). The GRMC is

Marvelous people making a difference through quality care and service excellence every day.
Commitment to promoting wellness, restoring health and enhancing the quality of life for all we serve" (Grinnell Regional Medical Center [GRMC],
n.d., para. 1).
In healthcare there are multiple stakeholders who can influence changes to occur within an organization. These stakeholders can be either external or
internal in nature (Parry, Kirsch, Carey, & Shaw, 2014). The major external stakeholders that influence GRMC include the government,health insurance
companies, the community, non–governmental agencies; while internal stakeholders would be the leadership team and the employees. The government
is responsible for creating the rules and regulations that the organization must follow to ensure that patients receive safe care while at GRMC. The
health insurance companies determine what services are covered for their participants and how much they are willing to pay the organization for said
services. The community is composed of the individuals that live in or in the surrounding area of the hospital, they are the drivers of which services
need to be offered by the organization. Other non–governmental agencies, such as Mid–Iowa Community Action (MICA), are non–profit or volunteer
organizations that have specialized programs that the hospital is able to utilize to effectively and efficiently provide care and services to patients in the

within the clinic was very unique and made me feel welcome. Everyone was respectful and had each other's back. The communication between the

Medical Center At Tulane University School Of Medicine (...
OHSU Secondary: What experience have you had that has given you insight into the patients you hope to eventually serve? (1500 characters) Before
entering my master's program at Tulane University School of Medicine (TUSOM), I had the chance to volunteer in the surgical department at
Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center (PWFMC). While volunteering, the majority of my patient interactions involved helping patients in any
way possible, which usually meant simply talking with and comforting them. After all, most patients do not choose to be in the hospital and are to
some extent afraid. They become scared as they attempt to contemplate the personal and financial costs of their ailments for both themselves and their
loved ones. This awareness was further highlighted studying, observing, and volunteering at TUSOM. Most notably, shadowing Dr. Douglas Slakey, a
surgical specialist, and his team in the gastrointestinal (GI) clinic at Tulane Medical Center. Witnessing Dr. Slakey explain the surgical options for a
pancreatic cancer patient and their family was saddening, but it also reiterated crucial aspects of the profession. Most importantly, patients and their
family members may not fully understand their ailments; as physicians do with years of training and experience. This unusual situation creates a
particular anxiety and discomfort for the patient, which is why it is crucial that doctors exercise sympathy and empathy. Patients need to know that you
sincerely care about

Prior to walking in, my expectations for what I was about to partake in and experience were all over the place. I didn't know whether to expect the
absolute worst types of situations going on such as people being rushed into medical rooms or the most basic situations such as patients waiting for a
strep throat test. I did expect to see a wide range of patients in terms of race, class, age, and gender. Contrary to the patients, I didn't expect to see a
wide range of race, class, age, and gender within the staff. I expected to see mostly female nurses, and male doctors, majority being Caucasian and
middle age. I didn't expect there to be that much security or any type of possible crime that could go on within a medical facility. I expected the
waiting area and facility to be very large, large enough to accommodate a lot of patients at once. Lastly, I expected that taking our field notes would
be a challenge because writing notes down in front of patients would be awkward and during interviews it would be hard to conduct a good
interview while writing the whole time. At around 6:30 on Wednesday, March 9th, my group and I headed over to the HCMC to conduct our
ethnographic research. We had to park about a block away from the doors since we didn't have any type of parking pass and that was the closest public
parking. When we entered at first, we entered through the wrong entrance, which was intended only for emergency medical personnel. A

Montefiore as well is using a different system to document their chartings for the patients. As of right now its still under Citrix but in the next month
the nurses were told they would change to a new system that is unknown.
Solving the Problem: The nurse managers made a list of the issues that were occurring and knew they needed to figure out a way to ease the tension
and anxiety nurses were having. They brought it up at a meeting with the directors and higher authority staff. For the pharmacology and dosage exam,
staff was given a refresher course as well as a study guide to go over which helped them remember the key formulas and drugs Montefiore required to
know. Nurses from Montefiore in the Bronx came to give an orientation on nursing procedures, polices and ways to document the charts. This helped
the nurses feel a sense of comfort before starting the first day under new management.
Stakeholders:
The stakeholders that were apart of this change was the CEO of both Sound Shore and Montefiore Hospital, physicians, nurses, supporting
organizations, hospital employees, political leaders, and the community (patients).
Result:
The results displayed have shown a great adaption to the transition thus far. Even though it is an early stage of change, health care providers have
