The experiences of seniors within the healthcare delivery system will alter how all Americans view healthcare. The healthcare delivery systems and overall organizational structure in the United States has been slow to adjust but that rest of the world is currently in flux that will migrate into our system. Technological advances in communication have made telehealth and telemedicine vialbel solutions to our outdated healthcare industry orgainzational structre. While these types of advances are only in their infancy, "...there seemed to be broad acceptance that telehealth and telemedicine had provided positive benefits to the worlds healthcare delivery system." (Telehealth Applications) Our technoloically challenged seniors have actually discovered the trend within the healthcare system and telehealth and telemedicine seems to be an advance that will find worldwide support so we as a nation will be reqquired to jump on the bandwagon.
In conclusion, this article review focused on new Healthcare Delivery Systems which will change the United States healthcare industry organizational structure. The story was an Internet based article called 'Current Telehealth Applications' on the Telehealth Applications web site. The trend of more and more seniors throughout our nation having to face the challenges associated with skyrocketing prescription costs and the fact that our poor have to deal with no medical coverage at all has begun a process of breaking down the old structure of bricks and mortar healthcare. The existing healthcare delivery system has not been able to meet the needs of our older and poor citizens so the high cost and the lack of healthcare coverage for those Americans will change the structure as we know it. Since the United States is not the only place in the world that has these problems, the new healthcare delivery system of the twenty first century and beyond will be a system that has no walls or buildings due to the economics of globalization and the convenience of the internet.
Article 3
Motivation in Healthcare
This article review relates to the principles of leadership in healthcare management. The article reviewed was by Mabel Joshua-Amadi and is called "Recommendations: A Study in Motivation: Recruitment and Retention in the NHS" from the February 2003 Nursing Management Journal. The current healthcare industry leaders are not adequately motivating their employees to a point to where they are enjoying what we can deem as job satisfaction. The objective the article was to analyze the nature of motivation and also detailing how motivation applies to the recruitment process. This article made it very clear that current staff levels in the healthcare industry suffer due to shortages in the overall healthcare industry. Nurses hold a great responsibility to the overall industry success but the current healthcare shortage is a more wide spread than simply filling nursing roles. The entire industry from specialized janitorial workers to high tech radiology specialists are in high demand. The intent is also to provide insightful details into some of the myths regarding human motivation and existing hiring practices.
There are various factors working against the healthcare industry management regarding motivation and leadership. The first item is that the population of the United States continues to be an aging group. In other words, the industry will find it difficult to replenish its numbers of new nurses and techs. Secondly, the industry is just to slow in building bench strength for its current nurses nearing retirement. And third, people don't like the jobs. The industry's moral is at all time lows due to the fact that expected retirements, tenure and union like work ethics, poor and hazardous working conditions, low pay and poor floor management practices don't translate into happy workers. "The relationship between organizations and their workforces is governed by what motivates individuals to work at their best and the satisfaction they derive from their activities." (Joshua-Amadi) large concern for the industry has been retention which is a very different animal than recruitment even though they are related for Human Resource managers. The current healthcare shortages show that the industry has some major gaps to fill. Shortages are made worse by high turnover and lack of job satisfaction by many throughout the industry. "Studies have tried to elicit and predict reasons for high staff turnover in order to limit cost and adverse effects on morale, enthusiasm and organizational reputation." (Joshua-Amadi)
One would think that with the large amount of recruitment and retention problems that the healthcare industry management is facing that they would be working overtime to create situations to help maintain existing staff morale or motivation. but, studies consistently show that many nurses are still not happy and that a lot more can be done on the part...
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.

The amendments have had practical impacts such as repealing the tax mandate of the employer, health insurance tax of small businesses and decreasing the burdens on individuals and businesses.

Health Care IT Health Care Information Technology The days of paper-based records in health care are fading. It is widely believed that the broad adoption of clinical applications such as computerized physician order entry (CPOE) can lead to major health care savings, help eliminate medical errors, and improve healthcare outcomes for patients (Lynn, 2011). Because of such benefits, the Obama administration included automated adoptions in health care as a part of its
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
