Innovative Healthcare Delivery Model To enhance the quality of life, expectancy, cost-effectiveness, diagnostic, and treatment options, the healthcare industry in the United States has experienced a proliferation of innovations(McMahon&Skochelak, 2018). The innovation of healthcare systems has been enhanced by information technology, primarily through the discovery of innovative health care delivery models(Wickizer, Franklin& Fulton-Kehoe, 2018).This paper focuses on discussing the Patient-CenteredMedical Home (PCMH) as one of the innovative health delivery models that incorporate an interdisciplinary team. Also, the essay will outline the advantages of the PCMH model. Patient-Centered Medical Home One innovative healthcare delivery model that incorporates an interdisciplinary care delivery team is Patient-Centered Medical Home that is efficient in delivering quality service for people and patients in healthcare units (Adaji et al., 2018). Under this model of healthcare deliberation, the treatment of a patient can be appropriately coordinated through a primary care physician; this will result in patients receiving required care and services from healthcare staff. Also, there will be the provision of an initial quick recovery service for sufferers who will not have to wait for initial treatment. This…

The Use of Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals in Healthcare The Use of Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals in Healthcare In biomedical research, investigators rely on hypothesis testing and confidence intervals to draw relationships among several aspects, collect data to test those relationships, and attempt to conclude the relations based on the collected data. Specifically, hypothesis testing is used in medical research to assess the strength of evidence from a specific sample and offer a mechanism for establishing determinations that relate to the population (Rana & Singal, 2015). Besides, hypothesis testing allows for understanding the extent of reliability one can deduce observed results in a study sample to the larger population that provided the example. Lolan et al. (2015) present that confidence intervals complement hypothesis testing in medical research as it allows for assurance (confidence) concerning how precise the data are. Concisely, confidence interval entails a numerical range to describe research data assisting in establishing the reliability of the research data. The confidence level width often shows data reliability. A full critical interval depicts a lower precision and less credible…

Wastage of Resources in the United States Healthcare System Over the past few years, the united states healthcare system has witnessed a lot of resource wastage. Notably, the biggest wastage has occurred in most healthcare facilities. Wastage has been happening in the case whereby doctors have ordered tests as well as procedures not based on the needs of a patient. Most of these tests are not based on their need to raise income. The healthcare system has witnessed a loss exceeding $210 billion each year. The problem in the country has been termed as defensive medicine. Reports have indicated that the motive behind the practice is to make more money. Most of these doctors are typically compensated based on the amount they generate. Also, most of these doctors are convinced that doing more tests is the right thing to do. However, a lot of money is spent on a patent, and the practice does not improve the outcome. A huge chunk of resources are usually spent, and the patients end up not recovering. Conservatives in the country have come up…

Quantitative research What factors need to be taken into consideration when designing quantitative research? One of the aspects to be taken into consideration when designing quantitative research is how to operationalize the variables to show the relationships. The other factor entails the sensitivity of these variables used in detecting differences. (McMillan & Schumacher, 2014, pp. 113-119). Why would a quantitative researcher want to control error? How might he do so? A quantitative researcher needs to control error because it might affect the relationship variables directly, thereby making it hard to show the relationships. They can control this error by trying to get better estimates of the variables to eliminate this error. (McMillan & Schumacher, 2014, p. 121). What techniques can be used to draw unbiased samples from a population? What are the advantages of these techniques? MAXMINCON is a technique that is used to draw samples from a population. (McMillan, & Schumacher, 2014, p.116).  These techniques are attributed to several advantages. This technique ensures that you get the right variables for the research, as well as the direct conclusions to…

Changing Nature of Healthcare The healthcare industry is one of the sectors which have undergone immense changes ranging from the delivery of care to payment methods and the legislation. The healthcare provider which aims at providing quality services to the clients must thus embrace these changes to attain the desired levels of customer satisfaction (Flynn et al, 2015). The value-based shift regarding the cost of healthcare is yet another question which the care providers ask as to whether it will better the healthcare services or not. As cost shifting impacts on the affordability of the healthcare, more people will be able to seek medical treatments and consequently, the high number of the caregivers required. The value-based shift to lower the cost of medical treatment has thus enabled the expansion of the pharmaceutical sector. The human resource professionals will, therefore, be on high demands in all the care departments to facilitate the efficiency of service deliveries. The healthcare systems have also changed regarding the communication and information technology. Today there is the integrated use of health information technology where the patient’s…

Religion and Healthcare Sister Mary is a patient in Level 2 Emergency Department. She must have a neural examination, physical assessment, radiographs of her facial bones, and a computed tomography scan of the head. Taking into consideration that she is a Roman Catholic nun, what would be the ideal course of patient education as this woman progresses from department to department? Religion affects the health beliefs of people. Religion is a subject that individuals encounter on a daily basis since people have to adhere to the specific rules established in their religion (Arousell & Carlbom, 2016). Religion has the ability to connect an individual to the community as well as the superior authority. This connection brings psychological stability, which is healthy for the healing process. In this scenario, Mary is a Nun. This title means that Mary is a strong believer and follows the belief established under the catholic demonization. The ideal course of patient education should respect the patient’s beliefs about healthcare and the role of spirituality. As a Catholic nun, the healthcare providers should not be surprised seeing…
