Urgent care facilities have been growing in number across the nation, and they have become an important part of health care for many people. They are often more convenient than an emergency room for issues that are not life threatening. An urgent care facility does not require an appointment, so you don't have to wait to see your primary care physician. However, there are a few things you should know about these clinics. The following are a few of them.…
Eric Chapman, founding president and chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust in Nashville, Tennessee, envisioned a healing hospital that wound not only tend to an individuals’ physical aspect of healing but to the spiritual component of the mind, body, soul connection (Chapman). This paper will describe the healing hospital paradigm and how spirituality influences it. In addition, the barriers to the implementation of the Healing Hospital Paradigm will be discussed as well as Biblical scriptures that support the concept of compassion, love, and faith as influential cornerstones to health.…
"A Healing Hospital is a hospital that employs healthy role models who teach health improvement, offers a healing environment and also leads community health improvement instead of just focusing on illness care and rescue care. A Healing Hospital focuses on healing and becomes an active member in fixing the healthcare system because they lower the need for costly, invasive care by improving health" (Harmony Healing House 2013). The healing hospital paradigm focuses on a holistic approach in caring for patients. Healing a patient and curing a patient may seem to be the same thing, however curing a patient focusing on fixing the problem or eradicating the illness or disease. Healing on the other hand is about helping the patient be at peace regardless of their disease. It is about promoting a balance with the person 's body, mind and spirit. This kind of environment helps reduce anxiety and stress that can positively affect a patient health.…
To understand the concepts of a Healing Hospital, we can examine the work of Erie Chapman, founding president and chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust in Nashville, Tennessee. On October 1, 1998, Chapman took the reins of The Baptist Hospital System and unbeknownst to him, many financial and emotional challenges would be awaiting. He defines them as tornados, one being an actual tornado causing structural damage to the hospital earlier that year and the other being an inside (corporation) financial tornado. The latter would be more challenging for him, leading a company that is $83 million dollars worse off than what he was told (Chapman, 2007). His first step was to develop a mission and value statement for the hospital. According to Chapman, “A Healing Hospital is a place characterized by thousands of small and…
Significant health disparities between rural and urban populations have been a major concern in the United States. One prominent factor contributing to the disparities is lack of access to quality care in rural areas which is closely associated with challenges faced by rural health care providers (National Rural Health Association, 2007). Rural hospitals are the key health care provider in rural areas, offering essential health care services to nearly 54 million people (American Hospital Association, 2006). They face a series of challenges such as workforce shortages, rise in health care costs, difficulty in finding access to capital, difficulty in purchasing new technology, small size, limited assets and financial reserves, and a higher proportion of older residents resulting in higher number of Medicare patients than those in urban areas (Rural Assistance Center-Hospitals, 2012). Rural Healthy People 2010 reported that only 10% of physicians practice in rural America despite the fact that nearly one-fourth of the population lives there. In addition, over the past 25 years more than 470 rural hospitals have closed (Southwest Rural Health Research Center, 2003). "Eye on Health" by the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative reported that the population of rural areas is 18% seniors, and 14% below the poverty level (Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative, 2002). A key contributing factor for substantial increase in number of rural hospital closures during the 1980s is the restructuring of the Medicare reimbursement policies in the 1980s from a cost-based system to a prospective payment system (PPS) (Capalbo S, Kruzich T & Heggem C., 2002). For an average rural hospital, nearly 60% of its revenue comes from the Medicare and Medicaid programs which is about 10% higher than for the average urban hospital (Mohr P, Franco S, Blanchfield B, Cheng M, and Evans W., 1999). Under the PPS,…

In this case, Dr. Wright, just became the new manager for Community General Hospital. However, the new manager has no background in business. The hospital has struggled in the past and it is now up to Dr. Wright to take the next steps. This is the first problem, the lack of leadership and financial guidance for the hospital. The second issue is the hospitals reputation. The hospital was originally for designated for helping African Americans. This did well from 1940 to the 1960s. After desegregation the reputation for the hospital went down. Throughout the 1970s the hospital struggled with losses and debt. With a deficit of over $20million the hospital filed for bankruptcy. This brings us to the last problem, the debt of the hospital. The hospital has no money and the suppliers will not give them anything unless they pay up front. Also the hospital does not have a specialty such as OBGYN or heart disease. The hospital may succeed if Dr. Wright can put the hospital back on track or if it merges with another hospital, but by doing so that could put other hospitals and their reputations at risk.…
Pharmacies sell tangible goods to patients in the way of medication, but also provide intangible services that ensure customers understand how the medications sold to them work, the short and long-term benefits, side effects, and safety techniques for administration and storage. Depending on the size and location of the hospital, pharmacies are either in one central location on campus or in several different locations. Like other areas of healthcare, customers (patients) drive pharmacy business. It is necessary to hire clinically competent pharmacy staff that are highly skilled in communicating with patients, and work together as a team for effective care delivery. Hiring “top clinical talent… (expands) the contributions of pharmacists to improve outcomes of…patient population “(Zellmer and Walling, 2012, p. 2086). The responsibility of the pharmacy is to deliver excellent customer service to all customers and maintain high efficiency with very little to no errors. Inventory…
Shouldice hospital offers an enriched and comfortable experience for patients accepted into the program for hernia operations. As soon as they arrive at the hospital they are interacted with very closely. Administrators and surgeons spend time with their patients prior to the operation to ensure that their needs are met and that their stay at Shouldice is a comfortable and successful one. After a normal hernia operation at a hospital or another institution, patients are encouraged to check out, whereas Shouldice recommends a resting period for up to four days to recover fully, with the help of on-site nurses. This four day period is also a small vacation for patients, which after any surgery is important in the healing process. The hospital encourages patients to exercise and interact with other patients going through the same experience to enforce that this surgery can be a pleasant one. Shouldice offers a more committed involvement with the patient compared to a normal hospital, which is why they excel in their specialty, with the statistics to prove it.…
