Download or read book Mismanaged Money in American Healthcare written by Lisa Famiglietti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warren Buffett famously invoked the metaphor of a tapeworm when describing what healthcare is to the American economy. The United States spends approximately 20% of its gross national product on healthcare, but it is unclear where the money goes or who is minding the store. This healthcare crisis is mostly about money--not lack of money, but rather misspending of money. From the perspective of a healthcare auditor and provider, this work describes the problems of American healthcare finance and proposes solutions. Extensive charts and graphs are used to trace where money goes in the American healthcare system, while other topics such as ethics in healthcare billing, un-auditable hospital costs and scams are discussed. There is evidence that clearly identifies where the money goes, and its destination may surprise the reader.

Download or read book MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS IN HEALTHCARE written by Bhargavi Posinasetty and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of healthcare data collection, transmission, processing, storage, and retrieval is called healthcare informatics. This area of study is crucial for preventing sickness, detecting diseases early, diagnosing them early, and treating them early. In the field of healthcare informatics, the sole data that is deemed trustworthy pertains to diseases, patient records, and the computational processes needed to decipher this data. In the past 20 years, traditional medical practices in the US have poured a lot of money on cutting-edge computing and technology infrastructure to help them better serve patients, doctors, and academics. Much effort has gone into improving the quality of medical care that can be delivered using these methods. The driving force behind all of these endeavors was a desire to provide patients with healthcare that was not only affordable and of high quality, but also entirely anxiety-free. Thanks to these initiatives, the value of computational tools for facilitating prescriptions and referrals, establishing and maintaining EHR, and advancing digital medical imaging technology has been increasingly apparent. The installation and administration of electronic health records (EHR) can also be facilitated by these instruments. Clinical trials have demonstrated that computerized physician order entry (CPOE) has the potential to enhance patient care while decreasing medication errors and side effects. By utilizing CPOE, doctors may quickly access relevant patient data without leaving the screen where they are inputting prescriptions. The patient's medical history alerts the treating physician to any potential adverse reactions in advance. Another perk of CPOE is that it lets doctors track their orders as they progress through the system. This provides an additional tool for doctors to assess prescription issues and revise them to remove human error as a potential cause. A logical outgrowth of AI research, machine learning emerged with the field's maturation. Researchers and doctors often turn to machine learning when faced with challenging statistical computations. When people talk about healthcare informatics, they usually imply the study of how to use machine learning in conjunction with healthcare data to find important trends in healthcare. That is why healthcare informatics is all on finding patterns in data so you can learn more. The broad usage of electronic health records (EHRs) has helped bring down the cost of medical treatment by making it easier for hospitals to access and exchange their patients' medical information. Cuts to overhead and elimination of superfluous health exams likely contributed to this price drop. Nevertheless, with the current state of EHR administration, it is difficult to collect and analyze clinical data for trends and patterns across distinct populations. This is because there is now a great deal of uncertainty around the administration of EHR systems. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 20091 and similar programs have made great strides in the direction of standardizing the digitalization of medical records. This makes the possibility of building massive medical databases a real possibility. When data is retrieved from these massive archives, machine learning may be employed to create forecasts and comprehend patterns in other domains. Finding strategies to avoid the computational difficulties that are preventing the distribution, sharing, and standardization of electronic health records (EHRs) is the fundamental objective of research that is being conducted in this area. Because these databases contain sensitive information on patients, the objective is to create openaccess databases that are not just secure but also resistant to a wide variety of cyberthreats. This is because the databases contain sensitive information about individual patients. The regional medical databases that are given below are some samples of some of the most well-known databases in the country: Before these vast data repositories of medical information can be developed, there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome, as will be illustrated in the following sections; substantial expenditures in research and computer resources are required in order to handle these challenges. In order to resolve these challenges, it is necessary to have a significant amount of money. For instance, in order to integrate newly developed technologies for medical devices and the data that they generate, it will be necessary to manage data structures that are always evolving in order to accommodate these new technologies. It is inevitable that this will occur due to the fact that it will be essential to adapt to the new technology.

Download or read book One Canada written by Cecil Young and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Canada is a vision of creating a strong and united Canada, out of the dysfunctional federation of 10 provinces and three territories, leading to the greatest country on Earth. Canada was created to be a strong country, nurturing the regions, eventually becoming greater than its parts. As Canada grew from infancy, the provinces, the aunts and uncles of Confederation, also grew and aspired to become independent countries on their own. Since the Centennial in 1967, the young Canada grew, exerting the rights given to it by the Constitution. The aunts and uncles, having designs of nationhood, began resenting the young adult, forcing it to gradually ceding its control and now is a nearly impotent custodian of Canadian citizenship, and almost equal to the aunts and uncles in stature. The Canadian Federation has devolved into a state of feudalism, where "passing the buck" is the common denominator between the federal and provincial governments. Municipal governments blame the provincial for their ills; the provinces then blame the federal government with the buck passing in a vicious circle. Inside the vicious circle are the people of Canada bound in red tape while being taxed to death to pay for the ineffectiveness of governments. With each provincial government determined to create its own kingdom within Canada, One Canada will never be a reality, unless a new paradigm of governance is developed for all of Canada. The new paradigm is governance at the local municipal level, supervised by the national government. The Fathers of Confederation clearly defined the powers and responsibilities of the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures. Had the clear division of powers been followed, Canada would, today, be greater than the sum of its regions. For the first 100 years of Confederation, the provincial governments, like aunts and uncles, helped nurture Canada through the adolescent years and into nationhood. Like the Jamaican Proverb, "Two bull caan reign in a the same pen"*, the 10 provincial and one federal government have been locking horns together. Now the time has come for the provinces to remove their blinders, let Canada grow into maturity, bringing greater prosperity to its people. * (Two bull caan reign in a the same pen) Jamaican patois (Two Bulls cannot reign in a herd) English (There can only be one leader) The Meaning.
Download or read book The Archaeology of Medicine and Healthcare written by Naomi Sykes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maintenance of human health and the mechanisms by which this is achieved – through medicine, medical intervention and care-giving – are fundamentals of human societies. However, archaeological investigations of medicine and care have tended to examine the obvious and explicit manifestations of medical treatment as discrete practices that take place within specific settings, rather than as broader indicators of medical worldviews and health beliefs. This volume highlights the importance of medical worldviews as a means of understanding healthcare and medical practice in the past. The volume brings together ten chapters, with themes ranging from a bioarchaeology of Neanderthal healthcare, to Roman air quality, decontamination strategies at Australian quarantine centres, to local resistance to colonial medical structures in South America. Within their chapters the contributors argue for greater integration between archaeology and both the medical and environmental humanities, while the Introduction presents suggestions for future engagement with emerging discourse in community and public health, environmental and planetary health, genetic and epigenetic medicine, 'exposome' studies and ecological public health, microbiome studies and historical disability studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of World Archaeology.

Download or read book Obama s True Legacy written by Jamie Glazov and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biden administration may go down in history as the most disastrous presidency in American history. It did not, however, spring up out of nothing. The Biden era's America-Last, economically and socially destructive policies virtually all originated in the Obama administration. The Biden team, of course, is made up of numerous Obama holdovers, and there is widespread suspicion that the man who is really pulling the strings for Biden is none other than Barack Obama himself. Barack Obama's True Legacy details just how bad the Obama years really were for America and Americans, and shows how the country is now suffering from a resurgence of these sinister policies after the four-year respite of the Trump administration. The book is a collection of new, original non-published essays written by an organized group of prominent, conservative intellectuals on how Obama transformed America, documenting the suppressed details of how the ex-president was—and still is—a major national security threat to America. Barack Obama's True Legacy is a one-volume guide to how the Democrat Party went so drastically wrong, and why it is such a dangerous and catastrophic force in the White House and the country at large today. It all goes back to one man: Barack Hussein Obama.
