Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity
The paper is a critical review of the peer's paper on Health care providers and faith diversity. The aim of peer's paper is to show own base perspective of what care and healing on a Christian, perspective in comparison to Buddhism, Sikh and Native America perspective. The paper states that there is diversity in people and the health care system is not left behind.it states that there is an influx of cultural diversity of patients and therefore there is need for the acceptance of the diversity of faith so that there can be adequate holistic care given to patients. The paper gives sufficient evidence for this claim in that it looks at the perspective of healing from a Christian, Buddhism, Sikh and Native America perspective. Under all these the paper gives sufficient evidence of what healing is all about.

Under Christianity, it shows that everything comes…...

Health Care Provider Changes and Service Delivery
Healthcare and its finance today has been complicated by many dynamics, including the changing demographic of Western society today. Hence, it is difficult to answer a question about addressing healthcare personnel shortages effectively with "I agree" or "I disagree." There are simply too many intricate factors involved in the dynamics of physician numbers, population demographics and the types of services and specialties in healthcare on offer today. Therefore, while it is true that a more effective doctor-patient ratio has been achieved by involving the services of non-traditional disciplines and other variations of healthcare providers, there is certainly no conclusive response to whether this will be the case in the long-term or even if greater efficacy in terms of matching expertise to patient needs has been, in fact, achieved. In short, the way in which the population is changing in terms of demographics, along with…...

Mr. Saracouli, your paper addresses the 3 diverse faiths and identifies some of their components of care and healing. These could be developed more. This will give greater opportunity to discuss more specific comparisons and contrasts of these components with those of Christianity, which is a significantly key element of this assignment (as highlighted in the Mod 2 Assignment Assist and Assignment Clarification). The paper (final draft) can be benefitted by weaving in specific comparisons and contrasts within each faith section... As you go along. Consider organizing 3 faiths in separate paragraphs (see Buddhism below). [Review the Faith Diversity Recommended Content Format attached to Mod 2 Announcement.]

("Financial Profile," n.d.)
The long-term debt to equity ratio is when you are looking at the company's ability to finance growth through: increasing their total amounts of debt. When you see a reading of 100%, this is a sign of normal activity in most organizations. The higher that the number moves above 100%, the greater the chances are that they are financing their growth with debt offerings. In the case of St. Francis Care, their current long-term debt to equity ratio has increased from: 100.2% to 108.7% in one year. This is important, because it is showing how the facility has a lower amount of long-term debt equity. ("Financial Profile," n.d.)

However, when you look at the underlying trends of both ratios, it is clear the hospital has been increasing the total amount of debt. Evidence of this can be seen with the decline in: the current ratio and increase in…...

Information Technology: Health Care Providers
Being a member of the hiring committee for a high profile position within Company ABC is not an easy job. However, the duty today is to hire a manager that will be over the adolescent mental health acute care unit. After searching the Internet and surfing through social media websites such as YouTube and Facebook for something else, mistakably other information comes up that depicts the first choice candidate that shows information about them in an extremely negative manner. Even though social media does not be used to make final employment results, it can be utilized as an extension of the resume, a conversation appetizer that provides the interviewer a profounder accepting of the candidate. With that being said, this essay will discuss the factors needed to be done in order in deciding how to proceed and the action that needs to be taken.

Spiritual care in the past was not considered to be a part of medicine. However, over time both holistic nursing and the health movement have become increasingly involved with the assessment of the patient's religious needs and care. In every day lives, a lot of patients who enter the hospital have strong spiritual beliefs and want to be treated in the same way. There are also cases that a doctor might not belong to the same religious belief as of the patient so it becomes more difficult for him/her to fulfill the spiritual needs of the patient. Questions arise regarding the role of the nurses in these cases and whether they can fulfill these needs of the ill person (Spiritual Care: The Nurse's Role, n.d.). Identifying this role of the nurses does not mean that the hospital is devaluing the pastor's or the minister's role in the community. It simply…...

Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity

Health care professionals working at different levels meet several patients that belong to different regions of the world and have different faiths. Although, every health care professional has firm belief in his own faith but he should also have the ability to accept the diverse faiths concept. He must respect all religions and should not argue with the patients regarding their spiritual beliefs.

Health care providers meet a variety of people that belong to different cultures and practice different religions. It is the responsibility of the health care professionals to provide sensitive care to all these patients having diverse faiths. Johnston (1990) defines sensitive care as "giving respect and incorporating the basic values of human freedom and religious diversity."

It is also important to remember that even if the background of the patient is similar to that of the health care professional; it does…...

Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital when compared to the state and national average, it is clear that they have the highest score with state coming in last. It appears that when it comes to things like nurses and doctors communicating well, they had quite a bit of patients that were satisfied with their experience

The ethical dilemma will then be solved rationally by taking steps to serve as many people as possible, both to build awareness for the healing powers of the practice, and therefore grow my business and to serve those in greatest need.
It is for this reason that the only way that I can see to further both goals is to develop a system of sliding scale payment for those in need, without the means to pay for care all at once and also to offer my services, for five to ten hours per week as a volunteer at a local clinic that provides care to the underserved people in my community. In so doing I will be both building awareness for the power of the art in the medical community and seeking to better serve the whole of the community in which I live.

Health Policy Values My personal values and spiritual beliefs are rooted in the catechism I was taught as a young person. My family is Roman Catholic and they taught me that values and beliefs of this church and how they should guide one’s life and actions. Inherent in this system of beliefs is the concept of the Golden Rule, which is that you should do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. In other words, don’t ever treat anyone with disrespect if you yourself don’t want to be disrespected. Likewise, Catholicism teaches that there are two basic rules to live by, which Christ pointed out: 1) love God and keep His commandments, and 2) love your neighbor as you love yourself. These rules basically cover all aspects of life (one needs to know the 10 commandments of course) but in them is a great deal of wisdom…...

Healthcare Administration -- New York State Care Act
The New York State Care (Caregiver Advise, ecord and Enable) Act was implemented into law in April this year. The development and enactment of this law is geared toward having a positive effect on caregivers who assist patients and family members recover in the aftermath of hospital admission. The legislation ensures patients in healthcare facilities can assign a family caregiver and the facility provides the designated caregiver instruction and illustrations of medical tasks they are likely to offer their loved ones at home. However, the implementation of this initiative across hospitals such as Winthrop Hospital has been characterized by several challenges that could hinder its effectiveness if not addressed.

Kenyan Healthcare Assessment
Across the globe, manmade and natural calamities are on the rise, occurring almost every single day and having destructive effects on individual people, households and entire communities. People's lifestyles and quality of life are undermined by both minor and major catastrophes. The African continent has long struggled with internal conflicts that have had destructive impacts, threatening its inhabitants' survival. Extensive casualties have resulted from these occurrences. It is an undisputed fact that war and conflict interferes with communities' social, religious, economic and educational dimensions. This section attempts to understand disaster-related emergency preparedness and healthcare scenario in the epublic of Kenya.

Just like a majority of other African nations, Kenya has encountered manmade and natural catastrophes that have led to huge losses of life. One good example would be the 2007-08 post-election clashes. The nation witnessed largely politically-initiated inter-community fights that had immense, large-scale consequences. Hence, its healthcare department…...

Much of this would be dependent on individual patients, in relation to their mental capabilities and understanding of the aspects concerned with their healthcare. I even support giving minor children a say in their healthcare, at least as far as they can comprehend those aspects and judge sensibly. With increased expert input, they experience greater control and exhibit greater likelihood of wholeheartedly participating and conforming to mandates that help improve their health status. Individuals feel significantly different about their care if healthcare providers allow them to voice their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, instead of being treated like little children or someone with impaired mental faculties, unable to decide aspects of their own healthcare. This forms another reason for my strong support of Do Not esuscitate (DN) orders and living wills. In fact, I even have my own living will specifying precisely what I desire in the event I…...
