Health Care Connection

Improved Essays
Health Care Connection extends a big Georgia welcome to your company. We are excited to have a new business in Blakely. We have needed an orthopedic doctor in the area for quite some time. We have been in business in this area for ten years now and have been able to offer doctor’s care to those who previously could not afford it.

The people of Blakely are tremendously generous and selfless, which is why I have devoted the last ten years of my practice to helping them. The unfortunate reality for a majority of Blakely citizens is that they are socially and economically disadvantaged; and therefore cannot afford the high prices of practitioners. In truth, those who are socially and economically disadvantaged are the least likely to have satisfactory

While the grants and donations are not making me rich, they are enough to keep the clinic open and for me to make a small profit. I have found that when you devote your resources to helping others, you will be helped in return. For example, the CEO of the nearby plantation Flexcorp, has provided a rent-free clinic for us to practice in. I urge you to come and work in my clinic; with the already reduced cost of rent you would be able to offer your services at a lower cost.
Dr. Reed I understand that you may want to maintain your own clinic and you may not be able to afford to serve only indigent patients; however you may able to accept some reduction in your income. In this case you can establish a sustainable balance of both types of clientele. For example, you may reserve one day a week for booking patients who are uninsured or have Medicaid.
Alternatively, you may also choose to work one day a week at my clinic since we already serve those who may not be able to afford health care. Essentially, this way you are volunteering your own time, but not the time of your staff. This may even help my clinic at improving the efficiency.
We are holding a staff meeting on May 27 at 3pm and I am extending an invitation to come sit in and view our facilities. We would really enjoy you coming to work at Health Care Connections. Again, welcome. I believe your services will be a

    When I first learned about osteopathic medicine I was attracted to the idea of the holistic approach of working with the patient to treat the whole body and not just the disease. This osteopathic philosophy is supplemented with what I had learned during my time as a Public Health student where the focused was on heath education with an emphasis on preventative medicine to help the individual and community. I came to this realization when I was observing an osteopathic family medicine physician interacting with a diabetic patient that was non-compliant with his medication that came in for a cut on his calf that was not healing properly. The physician proceeded to explain how by not taking his diabetic medication, affected his calf from healing…

    Volunteering at a free clinic in Lansing has exposed me to many patients who have serious and costly chronic conditions and are unable to afford insurance and have either no insurance or are under insured. I recall one specific incident where a patient came in for his life saving heart medication and his application was going to expire soon. We worked with the patient to create a plan to renew his application and find a way to expedite the processing. Uninsured patients have to jump through more hoops to get medication, if it is even available. If they have no way to pay for the medication then they have to decide what is more important.…

    The sharing of health information across state borders is a growing and appropriate concern in the modern world in which distances between places seem less than in previous years due to increased technology and upgraded transportation methods (Nelson & Staggers, 2018). There is significant research to support the assertion that possession of appropriate medical information can and has been a life-saving tool for providers. Additionally, the potential for significant cost savings is evident when medical history information is available (Ferneding, 2009). Therefore, the availability of information is crucial in modern medical practice.…

    Health Broker Sociology

    • 1 Pages

    The clinical sociologist must have a view of health that goes beyond treatment and rehabilitation and includes health promotion and disease prevention (Bruhn, 1991:43). Brokering health involves helping to create optimal or maximal opportunities for the well-being of individuals, groups, and organisations (Bruhn, 1991:43). The health broker is concerned with the social definition and implications of health and normality (Bruhn, 1991:43). The clinical sociologist may facilitate, advocate, negotiate, consult, advise, innovate, observe, or perform several of these functions as part of his/her role as broker (Bruhn, 1991:44). A broker is an agent or middleman, an essential third party in an interaction in which some type of change, involving two…
