STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS HEALTH CARE DILEMMA

/in /by

STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS HEALTH CARE DILEMMA Financing health care in the US has been an ongoing problem.  Several countries around the world have a government-sponsored single-payer system, while others have no insurance support.  Among those that have a single-payer system, some simply treat the government portion as an insurance payment system, while others have a fully run government system, with doctors and medical personnel hired by the government, and hospitals owned by the government.  The US has perhaps the most complicated system, with uninsured, company-insured, and government-insured all partaking of the private, public, nonprofit, and for-profit system.  Competing committees have been formed to determine how the dilemma might be solved in the years ahead.  Your task is to present background information and a plan for the future.  Consider the following: 1.  Find some general information on the Federal Budget. How does it breakdown? How fast is it increasing — absolutely, as a percent of GDP, and in historical terms? Which categories in the breakdown have been increasing, which decreasing? 2.  Study the demographics of the population over the next few decades.  How do birthrates and death rates affect health care costs?  In the view of health care providers, what are some problems with Medicare re-imbursements and re-imbursement rates?  3.  What aspects of health care are causing the highest rate of cost increase?  What are some ideas for controlling these?  How can universal health care be funded?  Give several ideas.4.  Study the health care systems used by other countries.  Be careful not to treat government-supported health care systems in other countries all the same.  For example, be specific about what you mean if you say “socialized medicine.” What are the drawbacks and advantages of using those systems?  What portion of health care costs are due to administrative costs in those countries? How satisified are the citizens of those countries…

Page 1 of 20 FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCE School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedicine Brisbane Campus SEMESTER 1, 2013 HLSC122: Inquiry in Health Care UNIT OUTLINE Credit points: 10 Prerequisites /co-requisites /incompatibles: Nil Lecturer in Charge: Dr Leigh Davis Office location: EB.07 Email: Leigh.Davis@acu.edu.au Telephone: 3623 7616 Contact me: Email me to make an appointment or phone Description: This inter-professional unit provides foundational knowledge and skills for ways of reflecting on and making meaning out of a range of complex information in the health care environment. Approaches to knowledge development in the health disciplines, including the generation of new knowledge, are explored. The contribution of research knowledge to the provision of evidence based health care will be evaluated. This unit will also introduce the students to critical thinking skills that provide the basis for clinical reasoning. Teaching team: Roger Lord EB.09 Roger.Lord@acu.edu.au Brother Benildus EB.08 Brother.Benildus@acu.edu.au Winnie Wu EB.25 Winnie.Wu@acu.edu.au Dianne Collins TBA Helen Funk TBA Karlyn Treston TBA
Page 2 of 20 Mode/attendance pattern: This is an on-campus unit comprised of one two-hour lecture and one one-hour tutorial per week. Duration: This unit is taught over a 12 week-semester or equivalent in intensive block mode. You should anticipate undertaking 150 hours of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings and assignment preparation. LEARNING OUTCOMES The Inquiry in Health Care course is a professional program that requires development of particular attributes for accreditation purposes. These are also included in the Learning Outcomes. On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to: 1. Describe development of different types of knowledge that underpin and inform health care; 2. Explain the different types of knowledge used to make evidence based decisions in health care and their application; 3. Reflect on and analyse…

I choose the tittle ” Nanotechanology treatment of liver cancer ”

Choose a subject within one of the following subtopics of nanotechnology: Quantumdots, nanofabrication, transistors and nanoscience, nanowires and nanowire assemblies, nanomaterials in medicine (nanomedicine), photonic devices and nanoscience, biomieticsand nanoscience, carbon nanomaterials. You subject should be reasonably specific suchthat it refers to a subclass of nanomaterials for one application, or one nanomaterial in thecontext of several applications. For example: magnetic nanoparticles in MRI, graphene innanoelectronics, quantum dot solar cells, nanoparticle superlattices, biomineralized nanostructures, nanowire sensors etc.

Part I: Presentation
The presentation format will be a PDF, and can be prepared as a power point (PPT, or Keynote) type presentation. The presentation will be 10-15 minutes. A good guideline is 1 minute per slide (10-15 slides).

Part II: Brief
Research the topic in order to produce a comprehensive brief. The brief should be 1500-2000 words, about 5-6 pages, including diagrams (references should be and appendicescan be included, but the body text should not exceed 2000 words). How the brief iswritten will depend on the task. Use all available resources, such as the library, internet,lecture material, research articles. You must give a background to the field, and give anexplanation of the underlying nanomaterial or aspect of nanoscience. Describe therelevant properties (e.g. electronic properties) in relation to the technological application, discuss the materials and devices, concerns, limitations and competing forms of technology. Be clear about what part of this topic relates to nanotechnology.

Guide line…
Make your presentations clear and concise, following general guidelines for
presentations. Do not use very small or unreadable texts or very poor quality images. One good rule: do not put things on a slide (e.g. equations, diagrams) you do not understand…

The quality in healthcare involves the application of science, knowledge, studies and medical technology which could guarantee the safety of the patient or the improvement of the health of the patients, e.g. the quality health care means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right people that is why it is important that the service quality be establish for any healthcare organization. According to “Chapter 2” (2008) stated, quality health care is care that is:
Effectiveness: The degree in which achieved improvements of the care are processed, in relation to the current development of the technology, based on scientific knowledge.
Timely: Reducing wait times of the patients, before they are attended to.
Efficiency: Relationship between the real impact of a service or program and its cost of production.
Accessibility: It is the ability of a user to get the services they need, when and where they need it, in sufficient quantity and at a reasonable cost.
Equitable: providing the same service to the patient regardless of its features or physical characteristics such as gender, culture or ethics.
? Evaluate the performance of all members of the health team (staff keep abreast with the medicine’s knowledge)
? Assess the institution where the assistance is provided or is available (equipment  and medicine)
? To assess health problems or disease that is passing though the population (if it’s a virus, be careful and study it to provide a fast and efficient service)
Patients are different from other customers because patients are those who directly receive clinical services/products, or a healthcare service; that is why in healthcare, patients are primary customers. All patients are customers, but not all customers are patients….
