APHA Case Study
DISCUSSION:

Some of the APHA sections that appeal to me most are the Events & Meetings, News & Media, and Topics & Issues. I like that these APHA sections because they are constantly updated to offer vital information regarding current and past health related topics.

I do absolutely feel that APHA is an organization that will encourage my growth professionally in the health industry. The APHA not only focus on building a healthy community by working with local state and federal lawmakers to change health policies, they work with other key partners in global health including Global Health Council and United Nations Council of Organizations, to research global health crisis and developing treatments.

    As a resolution analyst at UnitedHealthcare (UHC), over ninety percent of my decisions are based on evidence provided by providers’ and members’ health policy contract and UHC reimbursement policies. The health policy contract provides payment regulations on how to correctly make a decision of either a claim is to be denied, paid or if additional steps are required. In a case where a member is asserting that an out-of-network provider should be reimbursed in-network based on their research involves investigating beyond the member’s contract and UHC reimbursement policies to justify an overturn. If the member provides proofs such as a copy of the participating provider listing on UHC's website or the provider proper Tax ID to support their…

    In my opinion I think the VHA has not been doing enough for the Veterans they serve. I don’t think those the VHS are not serving our Veterans out of deliberate negligence on their part I believe that there is a lot red tap and bureaucracy involved I the services provide which may in turn tie the hands of the providers. In general I think its important understand how decision made at a legislative level may be directly effect how are being provide at a direct care level. I think the VHA is working to provide comprehensive care for their Veteran population. For example one area I see the VHA making strides in their services is having Women focused clinics. While womens focused health care with VHA started in 1988, in 2012 the program was modified…

    1. How does HIPPA serve to protect patient rights? A patient’s health information can be shared with doctors and hospitals for treatment and care. The information can also be shared with family members who the patient has given permission to access the patient’s records. HIPPA’s guidelines make clear exactly what information about patients is protected.

    Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is one of the many major health insurance companies in the United States. The company was started by a man named Dr. Justin Ford Kimball in 1929. Kimball started the program because he noticed that teachers had a huge burden of medical bills in his area. He started a plan for teachers to be able to have a three week hospital stay covered for as little as fifty cents a month. The first plan was a hit when over 1250 teachers enrolled at once (Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association History). The plan started to spread throughout the United States. In 1934, E.A. van Steenwyk designed the Blue Cross name and…

    Managed Care Case Study

    Managed care contributes a vast amount to the healthcare system. Without managed care systems I don’t think health facility, insurances agencies and companies would manage. Agree, professionals are to adapt and accommodate changes based on contracts between managed care systems and other agencies. In my opinion, the technology advancement within the health care system has improved tremendously in a positive way. For example; when I switched my daughter primary doctor around shot time, me being old fashion handed her the paper shot record. She replied “ma’am it already imported into the system; we don’t use the paper anymore.” This is totally a successful and less stressful outcome on a person if it was to get lost or misplaced. These…

    The BSHA program has brought much insight of the health care field to me. It has made me realize the different aspects of health care that there is in order to correctly manage any type of health care facility properly. My impression of this program is that it is somewhat well put together, although I do feel as if I was not learning as much as I wish I did. Even though with time and experience I will really get to the career field I want. I think I really enjoyed the idea of using my passion for computer network in the health care setting. I thought I wanted to be a nurse; I was so not interested in nursing. I think with this degree I can effectively use one degree with the other. The positions that administration occupy are those which are needed and provide a necessary service to better run facility and allowing the caretakers to do their jobs in taking care of the physical needs of the patients.…

    For the past several years, the health care and insurance industries in America have been undergoing significant reform in order to rein in the high cost of delivering health care services. Managed care has become a cornerstone of this process (Strickland, 1995).

According to Mullahy (1995a), the number of case managers has risen astronomically in recent years. These individuals come from diverse professional backgrounds and practice settings that include nursing, rehabilitation counseling, and social work.…

    Safety management is the top priority of OSHA, therefore management should always be prepared to allow compliance inspector to conduct inspection after verification of credential. It is vital for employers to refuse OSHA compliance officers to enter company property. It is the employer rights under federal and state law.
