Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and
Purposes/Aim of Study
Open dialogue is an essential practice in enhancing the health
care administration among the human and animals.
4. The aim of this study was to examine racial/ethnic disparities in
unmet medical care, dental care and prescription medications
and ease of using heath care services.
Economic status of people has an impact to the administration
of healthcare services.
High pressure on social amenities particularly in hospitals is a
barrier to the administration of healthcare services.
Healthcare administration is influenced by health system, social
and individual-level barriers which determine its efficiency.
Design (Quantitative, Qualitative, or Other)

Quantitative design.
Qualitative design.
Setting/Sample
A group of healthcare professionals and stakeholders, group of
individuals who engage in health issues.
Households of blacks, Hispanics and whites with children 0-14.
Specific number of parents from low-income class who travel to
access medical facilities for their children.
A quite number of hospitals which have the cases of large
number of individuals to attend to.
A group of individuals who are diagnosed by cancer.
Methods: Intervention/Instruments
Use of observation on the health care administration among the
involved people and domestic animals.
Surveys and use of questionnaires.
Interviewing the involved sample.
Observation of the operations which are going on while the
5. involved party is receiving the health services in question.
Interviewing and observation of the sample group.
Analysis
The communication among the healthcare stakeholders and
professionals is the important aspect in enhancing an effective
healthcare administration and if there is lack of the same then
this will result to a barrier in efficient health care
administration.
To bright to light the lack of healthcare access for minority
children. When health care disparities are discussed the lack of
care for children is never at the front of the report. The
children are the future so this an issue that should be taken
seriously.
The transportation involving the movement of children and
adults to access important health services are influenced by the
economic conditions of the same individuals.
The numbers of people who are in need of healthcare services in
hospitals usually have an influence to the quality of the
healthcare administration. Again the large number makes the
waiting rooms to be flooded something which make individuals
hardly access the relevant healthcare services.
There are three barriers which make it hard for the healthcare to
be properly administered which include the health system
barrier, individual-level barriers and the social barriers. These
three makes it hard for the cancer victims to access healthcare
administration services.
Key Findings
Findings include the inadequacy of proper coordination among
the healthcare professionals and use of poor methods of passing
information among the relevant healthcare stakeholders and
6. professionals.
Minority children were almost twice as likely to have unmet
medical care and prescription needs compared to White
children. A significantly greater percentage of African
American children than Whites and Hispanics had unmet dental
health care needs
Parents go for free medical facilities and services provided by
the healthcare bodies. There are those who lack the
transportation fees and hence they find it hard to take their
children to the involved health centers for treatments.
The pressure in hospitals and clinics make is makes it hard for
proper administration of healthcare services. The high number
of the individuals in need of health services makes them wait
for long and the conditions of some sick people worsens while
they are waiting to be attended to.
Patients with cancer face difficulties in accessing proper
healthcare services which include the health system barrier that
necessitates the patients to have insurance cover which will
cater for their treatment facilities, the social barriers which
explains the hardship that patients face when they can’t afford
to pay for their medical facilities and individual-level barriers
which include the fears and distress that cancer patients have
that make them have less healthcare administration services.
Recommendations
The healthcare administration stakeholders should develop an
efficient method of communicating. Again open dialogue should
be effected among the relevant healthcare administers to
overcome this barrier to effective healthcare administration.
The government needs to do a better job in providing healthcare
for minority children. What is seen is the lack of healthcare
needs due to being uninsured, not being to communicate
because of language barriers and not having interpreters to help
in the matter. Also access is not available because of location
7. and time.
The healthcare bodies which provide treatment and healthcare
services should move to remote regions where they will be
easily accessed by the involved individuals in need of the
healthcare services.
There is need for more healthcare stations to be constructed
which include the creation of more hospitals and clinics in
remote are to reduce the pressure experience in the already
established hospitals. Again more healthcare professionals
particularly the doctors and nurses should be employed in order
to serve large number of patients in given time.
The patients should take insurance cover which will facilitate
their treatments, people should also save money when they are
in good health conditions in order to make them have good
treatments which will cater for their health treatments during
the times when they are sick and also appropriate guidance and
advises should be given to cancer patients for them to overcome
distress and fear which they usually have.
Explanation of How the Article Supports Your Identified
Barrier or Issue in Health Care
The article supports the healthcare administration barriers in
that the inability for the stakeholders and healthcare
professionals to communicate well is a form of barrier to
efficient administration.
This article showed that minority’s children were more likely
not to have access to health care because of lack or insurance,
location and language barrier.
The low economic status of the patients especially parents who
have sick children is a barrier to the efficient healthcare
administration.
The high pressure which is created by patients in hospitals due
to the few number of hospitals especially in remote areas is a
supporting statement to my barriers for the efficient healthcare
administration.
8. Patients having involved in individual-level barriers, social
barriers and healthcare barriers are supporting statements to my
inadequacy of efficient healthcare administration which is
makes it hard for the patients to access proper health services.

9. The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which accidents
in healthcare institutions results to absurd occurrences among
patients.
Design (Quantitative, Qualitative, or other)
Quantitative design.
Setting/Sample
An emergency healthcare unit in healthcare units.
Methods: Intervention/Instruments
Observation of the involved patients.
Analysis
Certain accidents occur in healthcare services units like
hospitals and make the patients suffer more especially in
10. emergency areas.
Key Findings
Accidents which occur in emergency centers of hospitals which
are caused by certain factors like power shortages are the main
causes for death and patients having more injuries as a result of
the same issue.
Recommendations
For efficient healthcare administration to be maintained, then
the hospital systems need to be well established for example
establishing automatic power supply backups to facilitate
continuation of services hence preventing the risks of accidents
among the patients.
Explanation of How the Article Supports Your Identified
Barrier or Issue in Health Care
Accidents which result from various health facilities in
emergency units make the healthcare administration efficiency
to reduce as they act as barriers to the same.
