Overview

For years there have been very distinct lines of service between hospitals and private medical practices. Those lines are becoming more blurred with the impact of change and reform in the healthcare industry. In this assignment, you will research and discuss the changes in medical practices and for medical doctors over the past 100 years.

Action Items

  1. Complete the assigned readings for this week.
  2. Review the previous course reading assignments and article research related to this assignment.
  3. Locate an article in theFranklin University Nationwide Library databases or on the Internet to use in this assignment. The article cannot be more than two years old.
  4. Write a 3 page paper that includes the following elements:
    • Identify the medical doctor’s professional changes over the past century.
    • Provide information on the historical changes for medical practices.
    • Discuss aspects of the current trends in the healthcare industry and the impact they will have on physicians and medical practices.

Access Moreno Medical Center (MMC).

Review the introduction videos and organizational charts.

Read the case study detailing key issues that have been identified at MMC.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you:
Analyze MMC's characteristics and organizational structure to determine how they could be affecting patient satisfaction in both positive and negative ways.
Could reorganization help drive better patient outcomes?
Does the current structure empower nurses to provide the best patient care possible?
Analyze social and cultural aspects of MMC that could be exacerbating or helping resolve admission and discharge issues.
Are the right individuals involved in the admission and discharge process or do roles and team dynamics contribute to the issue?
Assess the responsibilities of MMC leaders and managers to act as change agents in mitigating the patient satisfaction issues.
What actions have already been taken and what other actions would you suggest to make a greater impact?
Analyze how delegation is contributing to or improving MMC's issues.
Analyze how MMC's staffing and performance evaluations could help improve overall patient satisfaction.

Cite at least five peer-reviewed, scholarly reference that are less than five years old to support your assignment.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines, and include an APA-formatted reference page.

Sectional Anatomy for Imaging
Assignment 2015-16

Word limit: 1,500 words ± 10% (maximum 1,650 words)

Assignment title:

With reference to a body region of your choice, discuss the anatomical and signal appearances of a common pathology as depicted by MRI and CT.

Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and Understanding

Successful students will typically.
1. Recognise and critically evaluate the anatomical depiction capabilities of the available sectional imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and nuclear medicine.

2. Develop critical responses to anatomical image appearances in unknown or unexpected contexts, such as abnormal variants or disease.

3. Synthesise the complex imaging appearances of human body structures, in order to develop a holistic overview of their inter-relationships and their relevance in health and in disease.

Skills and Attributes

4. Undertake independent visual analysis of complex multi planar images of the human body in order to provide original solutions to clinically relevant questions in diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy.

Search the Internet for information on medical devices, such as might be found at AMD Telemedicine link: www.amdtelemedicine.com/telemedicine-equipment/ and U.S. FDA Medical Devices link: www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/default.htm -Also search for information on digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM), as might be found at the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine(DICOM) link: dicom.nema.org/ -Answer the following questions: 1. What are the challenges of medical device data capture? Consider the size of the output of different medical devices, such as a radiology device compared to that of a cardiac device, and how output can be integrated into an electronic medical record (EMR). 2. What do you think the purpose and function of the DICOM standard are, as applied to medical images generated by radiological devices? Note: Do not write introduction & conclusion. Answer in your own words or paraphrase your work. You can research on the Internet or books/journals & you can add additional references
