The cost and administrative burden of providing health care benefits to employees has grown rapidly in the last several years, and organizations have opted to cheaper means of doing this by resorting to CDHPs programs that are little bit cheaper when using deductible health insurance plans. This has led to the hope of healthier generation in the near future as the cost of health services would be manageable (Buntin, Damberg, Haviland & Kapur, 2006).
Integrated systems have a huge interest in developing and aiding ideas that provides care at a lesser expense. Therefore, they are usually the first ones to implement innovations that will ultimately change the overall health care system. Kaiser Permanente, Geisinger Health System, and HealthPartners are the nation’s highest leading performers when it pertains to quality and expense. Effective and successful unsettling innovations within the health care system will give further care at a lesser expense than we can even envision. “Many of today’s great, integrated systems were once disruptive innovators but they now provide more for less only by present standards.” Sequentially, their most recent organizational models and expense structures
CAH needs to add value to be able get more patients that will increase the profits for CAH. One way for CAH to add value would be to focus on disease management. Take diabetes, the patient would see a primary care doctor, got to an optometrist and get their labs done together and the providers would communicate with each other to make sure the patient is getting the care they need. The primary care doctor could make sure that the patients are reminded of when their next appointments are. Using web-based health also would help to add value ("Capturing the Value from Value-Added Services"). The Veterans Affairs Administration uses a web-based health notification system to allow patients to know what their lab results are and to refill prescriptions from their home that would then be mailed to

Human resources are the present focus of attention in health systems strengthening and public health policies.[1-3] Strategic planning is essential to assess efficiency of human resources and health services, being an effective tool to address innovative solutions within health systems.[4-6] Although the organizational environment is recognised as an important factor in health services functioning and development, external environment continuous modifications challenge decision makers and practitioners. For health professionals, this environment could be described by a constant technological evolution, a growing search for patient-focused care and empowerment of citizens, particularly in terms of health knowledge.[7]
A strategic plan is a tool that delivers guidance in achieving a mission or goal with maximum proficiency and control for an organization. Strategic planning is used to transform and revitalize organizations. The plan helps provide an inclusive understanding of opportunities and challenges both internally and externally for the organization. The plan delivers an assessment of the strengths and limitations that are realistic within the company. A well-developed strategic plan will offer a comprehensive approach and empowerment for the stakeholders involved. It is an opportunity for learning and understanding priorities that will drive the business to succeed. Jones (2010), describes how in health care organizations, strategic plans characteristically concentrate on operational and organizational goals such as when to obtain new technology, how to meet competitive challenges, and what staffing, tools, or facilities are needed to ensure organizational survival. The mission and value statements are significant in determining the quality of a strategic initiative. Forcing the organization to look toward the future creates proactive objectives in which both short-term and long-terms plans and goals are necessary in order to succeed.
Biotechnology is a growth field that consists of the use of biological systems or living organisms in which technology is developed and applied1. Take a look at IBB in figure 1 below it shows an increasing upward trend in the past 5 years showing the fast expansion and growth of the bio sector. One of the significance and importance of biotechnology is that it covers almost every field. The application of biotechnology can be used for industrial, agricultural and medical purposes. The study of microorganisms and particles can be beneficial to mankind. With a clear understanding of internal body composition and molecular behaviour, vaccines and medications can be produced to treat diseases and conditions. Fruits and vegetables can be modified to grow faster, taste better, resist different temperatures, repels insects, etc2. Although biotechnology has the potential to affect modern society and have a positive impact on the environment, the misuse of such technology can lead to devastating consequences and side effects. The creation of bioweapons, food toxicity, errors in products and many ethical issues are also to be considered with the development of such technology. However, the upside and potential breakthrough in this technology could feed the hungry, reduce environmental or human footprint, develop cleaner and more efficient energy sources, etc. On top of this, the emerging applications in the biotech sector is creating plenty of opportunities for businesses that offer biotech related services for other organisations to make use of3. Examples of these applications and subjects include combinatorial chemistry, bioinformatics, biochips, proteomics and high-throughput screening. However on of the most looked at, compelling and c...
After a 60 minute interview with Dr. Rob Geis, Director of Procurement at BayCare Health System, I was ready to take on the world. Dr. Geis completed his Masters and Doctoral degree at State University while working at BayCare. After completing the two advanced degrees he was promoted to Director. Currently he teaches two online classes at The University of Phoenix on Health Care management and procurement. As a director at BayCare Health System he has to hold trainings for potential vendors and current vendors along with the training sessions for employees that will directly intervene with the vendors of the behalf of the Health System. It was inspiring to see someone who has successfully blended three different adult learner experiences together; a student, corporate trainer, and adjunct professor.
Biotechnology is one of the leading industries in the world. It has vastly improved medicine and created ways to improve the environment. It has laid out a foundation in terms of ethical practices. We will be discussing its sub factors and its most important factor which tells us where the biotechnology industry is progressing more. The potential sources of funding for the creation of biotechnology industries. We will also be considering how biotechnology firms collaborate with external partners for innovation as well as how they choose their partners in terms of innovation. It tells us where we are supposed to look when it comes to alliances. These four questions can explain how the Biotechnology Industry works, how the Biotechnological Industry
Humans need to embrace biotechnology in order to secure their future. By implementing this policy an effort will be made to ensure that all future food and
...ntinually evolve, a certain degree of freedom must be felt by its members, bureaucracy represents and organization from which chaos has completely been eliminated. Nurse Executives, therefore, will need to encourage staff to challenge existing practice. Given the current environment, creative conflict will need to be supported in order for our continued growth.” (McGuire, 1999, p. 9) I believe that Capital Health is on a path for success. They have modernized there organization chart causing a more decentralized environment. This new atmosphere fosters empowerment of its nursing staff. This sense of ownership over their practice provides growth not only for individual nurse, but the entire profession. This positive proactive change of the organizational structure will allow the hospital to experience continued growth and development that is propelled from within.
