Express Clinic Case Study

Improved Essays
A decline in the middle class in the United States for the U.S Public Health Service could lead to increase patients/consumers. Middle class with no health insurance will not be able to afford the proper care and will go to public hospitals for care. With the middle class decreasing so will their income and their inability to afford health insurance. With that said it could lead to decrease revenue for the health care programs to spend. The Scripps Clinic will experience a reduction in patients, employees, and even researchers since the vast majority of the population are middle class. Thus resulting in a poor quality of care for the patients/consumers.
The strategy that was being implemented by the Express Clinic was the post-purchase evaluation.

    As a lifelong resident of the Napa Valley I have always admired Clinic OLE'S dedication to the community. For many of us in the community "La Clinica Ole" was the only medical resource available, not only for its affordability, but also from a cultural/language comfort aspect. The doctors and staff were the only ones that offered the community a safe place where they could be cared for. It has been wonderful to witness how Clinic Ole has developed over the years, from a small traveling operation to its current sites and multiple locations. I understand the demand is still high and the need for expansion is still needed, and I would like to be part of it and help the organization meet its goals.…

    The $716 billion shortage of funds the health care sector is likely to experience in the next decade may cause damage to the overall health care system of America. The unprofitable health care providers and businesses would have to dissolve causing a decrease in the amount of health providers as well as workers, thus limiting the access of good health care for American families. Reforming the act to make sure there are enough funds to sustain the health care sector in the long run without jeopardizing its standard is also an adjustment that needs to be done to the Obama Care act. A reformed Obama Care that includes the above changes will be more conducive for American families, because of the reduced taxes and minimum threat to the overall standard of the US healthcare in upcoming years.…

The provider must also decide on what care to provide the patient within the limited time frame of the appointment. By introducing a new guideline, another may be dropped, resulting in the rationing of care. The discontinued care is the opportunity cost of implementing the new guideline. Even when a provider is able to follow all guidelines on a given patient and spends the extra time required to do so, opportunity cost still occurs.…
