Where many other industries have separate financial departments which performs all financial operations, effective financial management in health care at some point becomes the role of many health care managers who must be able to account for the financial management of their units (Finkler, 2006).

There are a lot of great mathematicians in the world, and I would like to say that the majority of the most recognized mathematicians are light skin colored males. For example, Aristotle, Da Vinci, and many more that have contributed to math. I decided to do this essay on Marjorie Lee Browne.

Born on September 9th, 1914 in Tennessee, Browne was raised by her father and even shared a passion for mathematics with him. Brown first earned her Bachelor's degree and taught high school math. After that she wanted to continue her education and went to…

Shortage of qualified physicians and nurses: There has been an increase in patients due to the Affordable Care Act and more people acquiring health insurance for the first time. Because of this influx in patients there is a shortage of physicians and nurses and organizations are struggling to fill nursing jobs and other critical positions in the hospitals. The demand of care is becoming very hard to keep up with. The author of Addressing staffing shortages in an era of reform states, “It is estimated that by 2030 there will be a shortage of 900,000 nurses and 45,000 primary care physicians” (Sanford, 2013). Human Resource managers (HRM) are combating these increasing numbers and keeping up with the demands of the patient loads by opting to hire more Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners. Hiring the nurse practitioners and physician assistants will help lessen the blow when it comes to the decline of physicians.…

Of course this can fall back on the hospital director’s preference, but with many hospitals heading in the direction of Magnet Status, the charge nurses or leaders of the hospital will need to have their BSN. By having the critical thinking skills, understanding the theories of nurse processes, the promotion of health, and case management training, BSNs will lead the healthcare organizations of tomorrow. “The IOM report makes a strong case to support that advances in science and increasing patient complexity have accelerated our need for nurses with the skill and knowledge to manage a challenging and increasingly diverse health care environment. Unlike Associate Degree programs, BSN curriculum provides content on evidence-based practice, health policy and finance, inter-professional communication and collaboration, systems leadership, disease prevention and population management. This is program content that nurse leaders need to navigate not only today’s health care environment but also the changes anticipated with health reform.” (The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, IOM,…

The healthcare field is growing rapidly. Most of our healthcare programs issues come from our facilities and patients. We must continue to educate our managers on how to best manage these programs. As the years have gone by, organizations have been pushed to produce a better system that’s more productive and effective. There have been theories called complexity science and Postmodern. Complexity science is the “ study of complex systems and the phenomena of complexity and emergence to which they give rise” (Johnson, 2009, p.64). Postmodern is an “umbrella term for a group of philosophical ideas that challenged the assumptions of modernism and resultant social and historical viewpoints” (Johnson, 2009, p.65). These two theories have become increasingly popular in influencing new approaches to managing healthcare organizations (Johnson, 2009). There are errors that managers have been trying to avoid in order to keep the organization from failing. In this paper I will discuss different errors amongst these theories.…
