In order to accelerate the creation of health care standards, members of government, academics who teach health care, and professionals in the field of health care and technology have to work together and collaborate to develop the standards that will work for all. Each plays a role in the finally delivery of health care to patients and so each should play a part in the formulation of the standards that are created that will govern how quality care is provided. As Reid, Comptom, Grossman and Fanjiang (2005) have noted, inter-collaboration among the various stakeholders and role players should include “calls for public- and private-sector investments in research and development, demonstration projects, new approaches to reimbursement, expanded outreach and dissemination efforts by public- and private-sector health care quality improvement organizations, actions to advance the development of health care data, software, and network standards and other components of a National Health Information Infrastructure.” Nursing instructors, doctors, health care professionals and legislators all have to work together to understand what the appropriate standards of care should be. As there are many vendors involved in providing care, quality cannot be ensured unless each industry takes part in the creation. The government is the body that has the power to legislate and the power to oblige the industry to create standards of health care that can be used in a meaningful way. The health care industry itself is simply too big to act on its own: it needs guidance and a call to action from the government, moved by legislation. As Schoenbaum, Audet and Davis (2003) put it, “ideally, leadership would emerge from within the industry, but that is unlikely in a system with so many independent components” (p. 185). The fact is that in the industry there are “more than 5,500 acute care hospitals, 18,000 nursing homes, 800,000 physicians, and myriad other health professionals; licensure boards and regulatory agencies in all fifty states and other jurisdictions; multiple accrediting organizations; hundreds of professional organizations, boards, and societies; hundreds of insurers; and thousands of self-insured payers” (Schoenbaum et al., 2003, p. 185). That means there are simply too many members within that industry for anything to get moving organically. To accelerate change, the government would have to organize the main players,…

Healthcare Standards there are three parts. PART A REQUIRES 4 DIFFERENT ANSWERS Standard: ICD-10-PCS "ICD-10-PCS is intended to replace ICD-9 volume 3 for facility reporting of inpatient procedures….ICD-10-PCS is a totally new coding system designed to better accommodate the rapidly changing world of procedures. The code system was developed in the 1990s, but use of the continually updated codes will start almost 20 years later." (Dimick 2011). This new standard is supposed to
Introduction In the whole world, healthcare systems are putting in a lot of effort to upgrade the standard of healthcare in any atmosphere on Evidence Based Healthcare as well as Evidence Based Medicine. The world is changing at a very high speed hence healthcare is also growing to aid in the strain of the developing world. As a result of the alterations made in healthcare, the perception of quality, the way
Healthcare Reform "Simkins v. Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital" The case of Simkins v. Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital was a case that attempted to end the segregation of African-American and Whites in the U.S. hospitals and medical professions as a whole. The case challenged the use of public funds to maintain and expand the segregated hospital care in the United States. Source of the laws related to the case are: Title VII

Stated to be barriers in the current environment and responsible for the reporting that is inadequate in relation to medical errors are: Lack of a common understanding about errors among health care professionals Physicians generally think of errors as individual that resulted from patient morbidity or mortality. Physicians report errors in medical records that have in turn been ignored by researchers. Interestingly errors in medication occur in almost 1 of every 5 doses
Access and Availability The biggest problem in terms of access to healthcare is in rural areas. Our investigation found that there are very few if any rural clinics or healthcare facilities. Access to healthcare is also limited to those that can afford insurance or qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. The unemployed and the poor are at a major disadvantage when it comes to gaining access to healthcare. The location of healthcare facilities
