familiar clinical practice

Think about a familiar clinical practice area where interest groups are attempting to bring about a change in clinical care or systems of service delivery.  Assume new, game-changing research finding are published and received wide attention.  Identify groups that might have an interest in these finding.  What are their likely reactions to new research?

informatics

As you learned from the chapters and video lectures, there is a disbalance in the supply and demand of health care professionals. Some experts think that this happens in the US since too many medical students go into specialty medicine leaving many spots available in primary care while others believe that the problem is the overreliance of physicians instead of using other health care professionals to address a large majority of health care needs. What do you think are the real drivers of this disbalance? What would you do to improve this situation? 

informatics

The table below gives some operational statistics for two hospitals located in the same community. Use the table to answer the following questions.

  1. Calculate the following measures for each hospital (wherever appropriate, calculate the measure for each pay type). Discuss the meaning and significance of each measure and point out the differences between the two hospitals.
    1. Hospital capacity
    2. ALOS
    3. Occupancy rate
  2. Operationally, which hospital is performing better? Why?
  3. Do you think the nonprofit hospital is meeting its community benefit obligations in exchange for its tax-exempt status? Explain.
  4. Do you think the hospitals have a problem with excess capacity? If so, what would you recommend? In your answer to this question, please consider how hospital governance may impact the ability of an administrator to make changes.
