Being at the Phoenix Center today made me see how people’s attitude can affect a person. Patient’s in detox centers such as Phoenix have set schedules to abide by as part of their treatment plan. It is nesseccary for them to attend to these private and group meeting to help them stay on track. Many of them see these meeting as pointless and stupid but they are very beneficial to their progress. These patients are also grogy and tired as they are coming off of drugs and alcohol, and the medications they take also make them tired as well.…
According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2012), outcome measures are defined by three major National Organizations such as The Joint Commission (TJC), Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the National Association for Health Care Quality (NAHQ). The standard must be accommodated to meet three goals: safety of care, patients experience, and the effectiveness of care (IOM, 2012). Patient Reported Outcome Measures are powerful tools that use a validated questionnaire to reflect patient’s experience throughout the hospitalization and the recovery process (Bonow, 2011). The data is collected via an electronic survey sent to the patient after being discharged; the questionnaire investigates the patient’s experience through the…
In the survey, four of the top 5 plans were or has MCO options for care. While the clinical measures earned the top five the highest ranking, it was interesting to note that patient satisfaction was not ranked as high performing. I can't help but wonder if our instant access to information and for some, a need for immediate gratification, impacts the perception of our MCO. The organizational goal is to manage quality and cost, for our benefit. This will inevitably result in denials and waiting for clinical trials to prove benefit.…

Other things, in my opinion, cause this resume to be ineffective is that she should place the education background somewhere visible and to highlight it. When I glanced at her resume, I personally did not recognize her education background until I reread it multiple times. And before I saw her education information, I intentionally want to suggest that she should put education background into the resume, which she had done already. One more thing, she did not fully explain her roles for each job in the Related experience, what she was in charge of, specifically. For instance, when I read her experience as production assistant, I want to know if she takes care of filming the season 45, video editing, scening setup or in what way she handled…
Ethical Considerations in Dental Research For centuries, new inventions have played an important role in the evolution of the medical and dental fields. As a result, new ways of healing and restoring the human body were discovered. Of course, the new ideas needed to be tested first to determine safety and effectiveness before applying their use in the medical or dental field. Since the inventions were designed for humans, the best way to test them is on human subjects, if possible. Unfortunately, these human subjects have not always been protected as well as in today’s research.…
Developing a single patient engagement platform across all care settings, with predictive healthcare management tools, will help empower patients to better manage their health and coordinate with all of their providers for improved healthcare outcomes.

One platform across multiple healthcare organizations will better assist in coordinating a patient’s care, improving…
