Medicare should not limit anyone on their hospital stay. This is what needs done in order for individuals to receive the highest quality of care needed (Daley, Jencks, Draper, Lenhart, Thomas, & Walker, 1988). Since Medicare appears to make it difficult for patients to stay longer, hospital staff can contact the insurance company, and stress that these particular patients are allowed a longer time in which to heal from their ailments.

In regards to nursing staff, this is an issue due to more going into retirement. Colleges and hospitals can provide incentives in order to make sure that more people go into this field. They can provide scholarships and opportunities for anyone interested in working in medicine. Furthermore, the entrance requirements can become easier for someone who is passionate about going into it. For example, instead of making it where a person needs an a in Anatomy and Physiology, he or she can have a B. This might increase the possiblities...

One will have to remain as objective as possible when studying the various needs in a hospital setting or in any location. Another area worth mentioning is that people may choose not to respond to the questions asked to them because they do not like surveys, or having to take part in a study that could invade privacy of the patient and their employment.
