1. Summarize key milestones involved in the past and present shaping and transitional dynamics behind changes in the present health care industry.
Deoxyribonucleic acid also known as DNA is our genetic identification. Once thought by students, as a boring waste of time, has made leaps and bounds in the health care industry. DNA fingerprinting not only proves paternity, but it is also useful for crime scene investigations. People can now trace their family tree beyond the family bible or old courthouse documents. This also tells ones genetic makeup, which helps to determine risk and predisposition to certain diseases. Stem cell and genomics are steadily progressing from that strange double helix thing students had to put together in Science …show more content…
Anesthesia to some, is the most significant milestone for the health care industry. Surgery is now performed painless and without memory of the event (in most cases) under the supervision of an anesthesiologist or anesthetist and in some cases a qualified non-anesthesiologist for dosing and monitoring throughout surgery.
2. Evaluate the importance of financing and technology in health care. Provide examples to support your response.
A science once left to the “old wives tales” to determine the gender of the baby by observing if the mother carried the baby high or low, shape of the stomach, pointed versus round; swing of the wedding ring, sound of the heart or the rate; some not so polite such as “girls take your beauty”, indicated by skin blemishes, pimples, freckles, etc.; and many others theories. Today not only can the gender of the baby be detected but skin, organs and movement can be seen also. No longer relying on “old wives tales”, we’ve advanced from a flat black and white image of the 1970’s to a progressive 4D image of a baby smiling and …show more content…
As a result, theses countries continue to have outbreaks of measles, smallpox, etc. People travel abroad and transmit these diseases into the U.S., who is fighting to eliminate them. Then there are other diseases indigenous to other countries also “taking flight” to the U.S. which our health care system is not prepared for. The citizens of the U.S. has never been exposed to these new bugs, therefore, have no immunity for them. Even now with the emergence of Ebola, new protocols, new antibiotics/medicine and new way of thinking, reacting, processing had to evolve quickly to prevent this from becoming an epidemic. Health care workers must remain diligent, careful not to let down safety nets of “yesterday’s” bug i.e. HIV, SARS, TB, with Ebola drawing all the
