Innovations in the healthcare delivery assist health organization to create various methodologies to address patient related health issues and concerns. Their issues/concerns could be detrimental. Innovations implement processes to help improve on the quality of health care for patient. In precise word, it mitigates harmful conduct and also implements processes for qualitative health care. It is vital for organizations to measure up to the everyday changing of healthcare delivery and for them to be equipped with new and current methods. The advent of innovation into healthcare has increased the quality of care provided to the consumers by hospitals (Jacobovitz, 2015).
As consumers are demanding for a better quality of health care and a flawless treatment plan that would be of great benefit to their medical diagnosis. Innovation is bringing that new method of providing the care. Through innovation, organizations are discovery effective ways of approach to care including medical documentation. In the Military Treatment Facility (MTF), military medicine has improved drastically in the delivery of health care and it would continue to develop and change as new ways are introduced. For analogy, in 2014, the military implemented a system called Health Artifact Imaging System (HAIMS), a system that supports

However, some MFTs are slow in implementing those ideas. Not every MTF are ensuring active duty medical record in their facility becomes electronic and available in HAIMS. The facilities are failing to scan records into HAIMS. In health care, a quick implementation of idea is essential for improvement on system and also for delivery of service. Military medicine has integrated innovations to enhance the care for active duty/ reservist, dependents and extended the benefit to retirees, hospital are not quick enough to utilize the options. This is one among many other innovations I would like for all MTF to
Commanders from all units across the world have thought about how to take care of their troops in times of war. Maybe one of the most heavily weighed thoughts is how much risk I am willing to take if I can’t provide my men immediate medical care at the time when they most need it.
Over the past few years, the health care service has seen many changes. The Affordable Care Act, for example, creating more insurance in order to care for the indigent and people in the most need of help. Health care is a very essential and necessary element of an individuals lives. The methods and preparation that is needed in order to provide adequate and efficient patient care to all is very critical and sometimes specific. The health care organization has ventured from focusing on input management to focusing and improving output management (White, 2011).
Melanie Merrifield’s article “Health Technology” seeks to understand the kind of innovations technology has brought to healthcare and how they have helped the health field. Merrifield provides numerous examples of how the innovations being made in health technology have improved patient care. There are examples used, from both the military as well as civilian innovations in technology that is included with Merrifield’s article. The examples in the article include patients being able to leave in three days instead of three months because of minimal invasive surgery; this is one example of how the advances in health technology have helped patients (Merrifield, 2006)
If I was to become the CEO of a large health care organization, I would investigate and analyze all the information to determine what needs to be improved within the organization in order to make the best decision for the company. There are three major elements of quality: structure, process, and outcome”(Burns, Bradley, & Weiner, 2011, pg 251). One way to improve the quality of care in my organization is to be passionate and excited about the engagement of consumers. The patients need to be able to have access to the right information to educate themselves about their health care decisions. If they are active working with the physicians it can reduce emergency hospital visits and improve treatment and quality of life that is associated with different chronic diseases (Aulbach, 2015). As for my staff, I would ensure that they have all the equipment as well as the
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how Electronic Medical Records (EMR), affects healthcare delivery. I will discuss the positives and negatives this issue has on healthcare and how it effects the cost and quality for healthcare services. In addition, I will identify any potential trade-offs to cost or quality. Lastly, I will discuss how the EMR affects my job as well as any challenges or opportunities this issue presents.
As technology continues to evolve so does the need for healthcare facilities to continually maintain a higher level of competence that runs parallel to electronic and scientific advancement. Comparatively, the structure of hi-tech facilities, such as medical centers and clinics prepared with new amenities has enhanced the industry scale of communities by working in the healthcare arena. Likewise, technological innovations which help diagnose a variety of infections and disorders has helped in assisting patients in receiving increased quality care. As a result, patient care as a whole has positively been affected within the last decade. Furthermore, it only make sense that more personalized and precise problem-solving methods and procedures will be devised in the future. Accordingly, the following paragraphs will analyze the significance of the Meaningful Use program for nurses, nursing, national health policy, patient outcomes, and population health associated with the collection and use of the programs core criteria.
this will cause healthcare providers with the training and education needed for clinical documentation improvements to be installed effectively. It is important that having a specialized team who can create solutions towards Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) in order to minimize the failures that may occur. In this case, investing in training for the materials/tools necessary for healthcare providers to excel in their work with CDI. Essentially, Clinical Documentation is used throughout the healthcare system for the analysis of care, communication, and medical records. This is important because the information of medical records that healthcare providers are able to access, will help patients track their health conditions. Thus, clinical documentation improvement has a direct impact on patients by providing quality information. On the other hand, the new technological advancements will also be able to address the efficiencies in health care system that differ from paper-based charting. Improving on the quality of information will also have the effect upon the ethical and effectiveness of care that is being provided. This has a significant impact in order to maintain patient care that ensures the documentation is accurate, timely, and reflect within the services provided. Documentation assessments can be utilized so there can be improvements on the education for healthcare providers as they intend implementation standards take effect immediately. In this case, failures must be analyzed so that they will have the ability to comprehend and determine an organization’s strengths and weaknesses
Optimize face-to-face care for people, who are seeking hope and a solution. The everyday challenge is optimizing and engineering an environment to conduct and improved safety and quality of care, while reducing the cost of out care (Larsen & Diamond, 2014). There are several attributes to an ideal health care delivery system Mayo Clinic wants to improve. First, information continuity: patients are given clinically relevant information that is available to all providers at the point of care and to care patient through electronic health record system. Second, care coordination and transition: patient care is coordinated among multiple providers and transitions across care setting are actively managed. Third, system accountability: clear accountability for the total care of patients, group this attribute with care coordination, since one supports the other. Fourth, continuous innovation: the system is continuously innovating and learning in order to improve the quality value and patient experience of health care delivery and satisfaction. Lastly easy access to appropriate care: patient have easy access to appropriate care and information at all hours, there are multiple points of entry to the system and providers are culturally competent and responsive to patients need (Mayo Clinic,
The new electronic ASF note has reduced the documentation time 40% in the unit. There will always be room to grow and further develop this documentation tool. For now this tool will continue to be used within the VA’s ASF with the hopes of increasing the amount of time spent on direct patient care. The introduction of this new electronic note assists in the VA’s mission of delivering optimal patient care to America’s heroes.

Health care must be fully accountable for quality and the patient experience is simply the patient's perception of quality. Society should question and debate on how healthcare organizations should show improvement for consumers. This can help organizations create reliable health coverage cost and evaluate medical performances for families and individuals in the future. Physicians and organizations are now evaluating patients with collection of electronic data to improve a patient’s...
One very important point that the article made is how the majority of healthcare organizations are not designed to excel in all the three redesign processes and some of them not even designed at all. I find that fact alarming since there have been many changes around scientific knowledge over the past 30 years which, I believe should have automatically changed the medical professional’s care for patients, but, little do we know that even with this change occurrence in the healthcare organizations, structure and processes of many healthcare organization are still lacking some footing into the enhancement of the delivery of care. These concerns have become major flaws due to the lost strategic redesign and
The present environments for healthcare organizations contain many forces demanding unprecedented levels of change. These forces include changing demographics, increased customer outlook, increased competition, and strengthen governmental pressure. Meeting these challenges will require healthcare organizations to go through fundamental changes and to continuously inquire about new behavior to produce future value. Healthcare is an information-intensive process. Pressures for management in information technology are increasing as healthcare organizations feature to lower costs, improve quality, and increase access to care. Healthcare organizations have developed better and more complex. Information technology must keep up with the dual effects of organizational complication and continuous progress in medical technology. The literature review will discuss how health care organizations can provide effective care by the intellectual use of information.
He provides assistance to peers and other members from other units in resolving technology related issues such as Pyxis and CPRS. He shared new/evolving care practice or model with colleagues to improve clinical awareness. Ethics: Mr. Kazeem understands HIPPA guidelines in regards to keeping veterans information safe. He also completed Privacy and Information Security Awareness and Rules of Behavior in TMS to enhance knowledge of information security. Mr. Kazeem continues to show respect to veterans’ values, beliefs and cultural
Planning for the Soldiers medical readiness is essential. Our units will usually plan two medical readiness events a year. For individual training attendance, a National Guard or Reserve unit has 48 Multiple Unit Training Assemblies (MUTA’s) in one year. In our organization, medical readiness events consume ten of the 48 MUTA’s each year. Although it is only two weekends, ten MUTA’s is roughly 20% of the unit’s allocated training time in any given year.
