Introduction
From the onset, it would be prudent to note that this particular course has been instrumental in the broadening of my perspectives on a wide range of concepts that could come in handy in practice settings. With this in mind, there would be need to summarize some of the said concepts. In so doing, I will essentially be highlighting what I deem most important among the concepts I came across.
Discussion
One of the very first things that one realizes upon reflecting about the concepts encountered throughout the course is that great progress has been made in as far as the integrity and ethics in the medical profession is concerned. Indeed, ethics and integrity in this particular profession are now taken very seriously. A good example to illustrate this assertion would be the past deployment of frameworks to informed consent and autonomy, amongst other things. On this front, I was specifically intrigued by informed consent owing to its relevance in efforts to ensure that the patient is a key stakeholder in the care process. The various ethical standards and principles that I got to learn of in the course could be instrumental in efforts to further enhance decision making in real-life clinical settings. For instance, in line with the principle of nonmaleficence, we are called upon to ensure that the decisions we made do not occasion any harm to the patient. It should also be noted that yet another method that...
…profession that are yet to be fully addressed. Thanks to the course, I came to be familiar with some of the said challenges including, but not limited to; disparities that exist in healthcare in as far as access to care is concerned. The cost of care also remains rather high. Some of the strategies that have been proposed in the past to reign in these concerns have not been as effective. With the knowledge I acquired from the course about these interventions, i.e. Medicare and Medicaid, I am now capable of proposing a raft of other measures that could be deployed in efforts to rein in the challenges identified. This I could accomplish via the authorship of op-ed pieces, etc. One such solution, which the course…
Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
With that in mind, even more changes will be coming to the planet in the near future. Even within the next 10 years, those changes are going to become more obvious and the health of people who are ingesting these chemicals and modified foods will likely begin to decline. When that gets coupled with the obesity epidemic, there will be a generation that will not live as long as
Health Care Professionals Healthcare professionals The paper is based on the healthcare professionals. It starts by analyzing the reasons why there may be physician shortage rather than a surplus in the United States. The paper as well analyses the factors that contribute to the nursing shortage in the U.S. And the roles of health professionals within the health care system. Lastly it covers the roles of a health service administrator within health
Healthcare Issues, Systems, And Policies America, once the global leader in the health of its population and among the nations with the highest quality and most readily available healthcare services, has now fallen behind almost twenty other countries, including some that only became industrialized in the last third of the 20th century, and with substantial assistance from the United States. While most other so-called "First-World" nations have already embraced several fundamental
