I agree with you healthcare assessment as it relates to capacity. I agree with the majority of your post related to inadequate supply of healthcare professionals and protective equipment. Its appears a majority of this is attributable to unexpected demand for healthcare services and an overall lack of infostructure. As you alluded to in your post, fatigue also had a major impact on the lack of accessibility of human capital during the pandemic. This ultimately resulted in lower capacity due to low staffing, longer hours, and a higher infection rate. I somewhat agree with your assertion related to machines and how technology can help mitigate capacity constraints. However, these innovations will require large amounts of capital investment which will ultimately lower profits in the short term for longer term gains in capacity.

Hello
I agree with your three main components of capacity. Here, the components of balance, frequency and use are play a major role within the healthcare infrastructure. For one, even though hospitals added more staff, the demand still overwhelmed the overall increase in staffing numbers, creating an imbalance within the healthcare system. Likewise, the frequency of admission of patients heavily strained the hospitals causing capacity constraints. Finally, the overall use of capacity was for very long duration treatments that could take at a minimum 14 days to cure. These issues all adversely impacted capacity and thus needed to be rectified in the long term.

Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
The amendments have had practical impacts such as repealing the tax mandate of the employer, health insurance tax of small businesses and decreasing the burdens on individuals and businesses. The compliance cost for small business owners has risen by 36% higher than that of larger corporations. Similarly, the average U.S. citizen has already been overtaxed. Since the passing of the Affordable Care Act, Americans have not enjoyed the benefits that
With that in mind, even more changes will be coming to the planet in the near future. Even within the next 10 years, those changes are going to become more obvious and the health of people who are ingesting these chemicals and modified foods will likely begin to decline. When that gets coupled with the obesity epidemic, there will be a generation that will not live as long as
Health Care Professionals Healthcare professionals The paper is based on the healthcare professionals.

Lastly it covers the roles of a health service administrator within health
