My position of Creswell’s alignment of philosophical worldviews (Creswell, 2009) is that of the notion that one cannot be another and another cannot be one. In other words, researchers should rely on a choice of which design is most suitable to their community health assessment by clearly making sense of potential data while identifying which method to employ. For example, if a research design of accounting certain number of HIV infectants in one locality is of quantitative method, then it
When comparing two societies that have the same level of average income, the society with a more democratic distribution may have healthier people living in it than the society with a higher level of inequality. I believed this became the case in the Russian post-transitional level and in terms of changes in mortality and quality of life. Furthermore, it emphasizes that health depends on the position that an individual hold in the society, a global notion that is widely understood
Health care in Slovenia is a public service provided through public health service network. Unlike the U.S., this network includes, on an equal basis, other institutions, private physicians, and other private service providers based on enterprises (WHO, 2011). With relatively limited public funds available for this purpose, the level of health care in Slovenia is entirely comparable with the level of health care in the advanced countries of Europe. Health system and the Ministry of
Health care in France is characterized by a national programme of social health insurance (NHI), managed almost entirely by the state and publicly financed through employee and employer payroll contributions and earmarked taxes. In comparing with the U.S. health system, I think government, both in the federal and state levels’ provisions to health legislations, health regulations, taxation, health promotions, health financial incentives and health information technology should all be geared toward improving the well-being (i.e. health quality) of the populations.
It is sad to say that families in Philippines (especially the poor) have been subjected to limited access of prenatal care, safe pregnant delivery, family planning and pregnant vaccinations. Thus, post great threat to the quality of care, standard of living and the life expectancy of Filipinos. Citizens lack modern clinical infrastructures due to absence of assets investments in health facility improvement. One of the finest roles of policymakers is to clarify the important of societal values while making
United States has continually to become more diverse demographically, with racial and ethnic minorities, predictable to become most of the U.S. population by 2042. A culturally competent system of care acknowledges and incorporates–at all levels–the importance of culture and ethics, the assessment of cross-cultural relations, vigilance towards the dynamics that result from cultural differences, the expansion of cultural knowledge and the adaptation of services to meet culturally unique needs. Cultural competence may be viewed as a goal toward which
Physicians who take a patient-centered orientation, attitude are more likely to treat patients like close associates and assist them in making informed choices among several options. This technique has been linked with a range of helpful outcomes, such as keen patient satisfaction, better adherence, and improved health outcomes. In terms of legislative health policy implementation, I have learned that epidemiology will likely aims at helping to set objectives for the well-researched policies that will affect general or specific population, inform need-based
As many people said, addressing the quality of care in today’s era of health reform is neither a top-down nor bottom-up method. This is because successful implementation of any health care reform law will be contingent on the ability of all partaking parties ( ie. federal government, the states, health care payers, hospitals, industry, medical societies, physicians, and patients) to work efficiently and collaboratively and tackle the issues from all isles of the wall. Finding common ground may
Healthcare professionals should warn patients of the adverse effects of surgery, the used of medical equipment, prescription drugs and other related dangers that will harm and affect the functionality of the patient. Healthcare related duty to warn can be applied to manufacturers and producers of food and medicine products and/or medical equipment, with negative effects in consumptions and/or application. Examples of 3 sample situations which there is a healthcare related duty to warn patients or consumers are: A duty to warn
Healthcare organizations, providers, employers, are always expected to ethically and legally follow set of rules and procedures in making sure they practice the right practice of medicine in providing quality care for the patients. Healthcare professionals are required to observe to the prevalent standards of care required within their professions. For example, a nurse’s sexual relations with a patient can give rise to disciplinary actions resulting in the nurse’s loss of license as in Heineche v. Department of Commerce. Healthcare
