Ebony Hughes: At Your Service: Transforming Health Care Delivery
I choose this article for our team because the new wave of technology in health care is in our near future. The demand for quality health care is no longer all that patients, and members require from their physicians and clinicians. More and more patients require the need to feel heard and understood and less like a number statistic or guinea pig when they speak with their physician or go to an appointment. With most people and their day to day lives, who has the time or can afford to take a whole day from work just to spend 15-20 minutes to speak with a doctor? Most of all it is the long wait times of six or more hours in emergency rooms, possibly waiting months to be seen or

I think it discusses an area of health care that many people can relate to and understand. I think nursing and the quality of care that nurses provide is the key to happiness in health care consumers since nurses spend the most time with the patients. This article discusses a fundamental question of how consumers define high-quality health care and nursing care and what attributes, in particular, are of the most importance to patients and consumers.
I also think this article would be a good one to use for this project because it clearly outlines the answers to all the sections that we must complete. There is a clear introduction, methods section, results and conclusion of the article. Many of the other articles that given as options was very interesting and informative. They did not have an easily understood, research process and model that clearly identified all the components that we have to include in our

    The United States is the leading health care spender in the world. It has the highest proportion of specialist physicians and world-renowned surgeons yet it falls short in quality of care. This becomes a problem when an increasing number of patients report long wait times, late test results, and medication errors. Americans also describe their interactions with primary physicians as short, meaningless and confusing including chronic disease patients who feel as if they are treated far worse than healthy patients (Burns, Dyer & Bailit, 2010). There are many reasons for lack of quality care, ranging from low adoption rates of electronic medical records to the splintered United States care system.…

Weeks et al.’s (2008) “conducted a review of the peer-reviewed literature that examined rural veterans' health care and found a paucity of relevant articles.”…

    Addressing Needs By expanding hospital services to address the largest need first, which is orthopedics, this would meet the needs of more people in the community. The hospital should also do more with cardio and oncology such as education, awareness events, records, providing basic services to begin establishing a relationship with those potential patients.

(2017), virtual visit, digital assistants, medical tracking devices, transportation, and wellness services are only a few of the many features that are part of the healthcare picture for modern consumers.

    In order to provide high-quality health care, existing clinical practices must learn to respectfully address the health care needs of the entire patient population by making their practices more LGBT "friendly." Healthcare students should also be encouraged to learn about the LGBT population, as well as the health care issues that may exist among them (Compton & Whitehead, 2015). This will make it possible for people within the LGBT community to feel accepted and comfortable when seeking out services for health care, thus showing the influence of psychology in terms of going against the societal ideations of heteronormativity, heterosexism, and transphobia, as well as becoming more inclusive to all people throughout the population.

    One of the greatest healthcare disparities in America is the lack of care available for the citizens residing in the rural areas. Residents in the rural areas experience lack of diverse specialty care, difficult transportations due to geographical barriers, shortage of information and educational opportunities available to better understand healthcare. These difficulties often times make it challenging for the patients within the rural community to actively seek healthcare. While more than 20 percent of the American population resides in the rural area, only about 10 percent of the physicians and caregivers practice in these somewhat isolated areas.
