    Assignment 2: How Current Trends Affecting Human Resources Management

    Shortage of qualified physicians and nurses: There has been an increase in patients due to the Affordable Care Act and more people acquiring health insurance for the first time. Because of this influx in patients there is a shortage of physicians and nurses and organizations are struggling to fill nursing jobs and other critical positions in the hospitals. The demand of care is becoming very hard to keep up with. The author of Addressing staffing shortages in an era of reform states, “It is estimated that by 2030 there will be a shortage of 900,000 nurses and 45,000 primary care physicians” (Sanford, 2013). Human Resource managers (HRM) are combating these increasing numbers and keeping up with the demands of the patient loads by opting to hire more Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners. Hiring the nurse practitioners and physician assistants will help lessen the blow when it comes to the decline of physicians.…

    Rather than dumping meds at someone and running out of the room, the nurse actually takes the time to listen to the patient. This kind of change would affect every aspect of our life, not just at work. We would be more patient with our spouse at home, the troublesome kids, supermarket lines, traffic and maybe road rage would go away. Sitting down to talk to a cancer patient who is scared goes a long way in the healing process.…

    Eugene Bloom Interview

    Bloom and I discussed was how the healthcare industry has changed in the past ten years. Dr. Bloom explained that over the course of the past ten years physicians have been more willing to consolidate and give up their practices to work in small or larger groups. By consolidating, physicians can gain a better contract for reimbursement and economic power. Another benefit to the physician is that they would be able to maintain a better lifestyle. For example, if a physician were to have multiple partners in their practice, there is more opportunity for coverage if they want to take a vacation with their family. Along with working in larger practices, physicians have also become more inclined to become hospital employees because it gives them a greater amount of security. According to Sultz and Young (2014), the American Hospital Association reported in 2012 that the number of physicians employed by hospitals has grown by 32% since 2000. In my interview with Dr. Bloom, he also explained to me that hospitals offer better benefits to physicians. Hospital employment has become more desirable due to factors such as flat reimbursement rates, complex insurance and health information technology requirements, high malpractice premiums, and a desire for greater work-life balance (Sultz & Young,…

    Sharayah Klein Homework Assignment Wk1

    The three legs of the medical stool are costs, access and quality. There are many factors when some hospitals or health care in general would trade-off in these areas depending on the status of the patient, insurance and the situation. I feel that the one that is neglected the most is costs, this is why the GDP in healthcare is higher than any other contributor in the world. I believe that if the cost of insurance, procedures and medications were at a better rate or more affordable that a lot of people including the world wouldn’t have a high debt amount from hospital or healthcare bills. The downfall to that is the doctors want to get paid, so depending on what is done this can either effect the patient or the doctor. If the doctor gets impacted moneywise then this can typically lead to the lack of care for their patients. This isn’t always the case but at the end of the day there is no such thing as a free lunch.…

    Efficiency in Health Care Systems

    Its without doubt that there are countless ways to define efficiency in the health care system. The different structures of the health care systems around the world give rise to discrepancies in the definitions present. Yet such definitions all share common elements. Hence a unanimous statement of what efficiency is should be adopted to allow the fair evaluation of health care systems internationally. Efficiency should be simply defined as the balanced relationship between the inputs to health care and the maximized outputs that are generated from such inputs. Efficiency can be split into three broad categories, operational efficiency, allocative efficiency and administrative efficiency (Elizabeth A. McGlynn, et al. 2008). With this definition, it is necessary to outline what constitutes towards input and what constitutes towards output, namely public and private funding and their timely and appropriate use towards building well equipped hospital environments, exploiting recent advances in technology and training high quality staff. Here output refers to the well-being of patients; output refers to the increase in benefits that patients receive as a result of inputs. Such results can be partly quantified by a country’s life expectancy at birth, rate of adult and infant mortality and disease prevalence.…
