The creation of Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals in 1951 allowed estimating the dynamics in key performance indicators of medical institutions: the quality of medical care to the personnel management system. The aim of JCAH is not only a quality assessment in itself but also finding the ways to improve medical quality. Specific standards that were first used in the US to control the sanitary condition and the conditions of patients in the hospitals, later on, were formed in the accreditation procedure. Today Joint Commission is the largest and most authoritative accreditation organization, not only in the US but also around the
Usually hospitals were meant for the wealthy families who could afford it. Now, during the Renaissance it became more accessible to everyone. There was also an improvement in surgical procedures which meant that there was a higher rate of survival (surgical procedure improvements will be explained later). In Florence there were 35 hospitals which were sometimes sponsored by universities, church and public donations. Not much later, other countries in Europe started to follow and do the same.
"Vaccines are some of the safest medical products available" (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Other organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and the World Health Organization (WHO) also say that vaccines are safe. Everyone should get vaccinated knowing that only good can come out of it and that it is proven to
Technology has advanced over the years and has benefitted the way we live today through the different devices for the medical field, discovering alternatives, and new ways to study genetics. Technology has benefited the medical field greatly with the new machinery that is available today.
How has the Modern Revolution impacted our lives? Has this impact been a positive or a negative force? Every and any advancement in the Modern Revolution has a positive and a negative effect. Positive impacts of the Modern Revolution are the education and technology increases, such as inventions and discoveries which education rates rising 70 percent and technology escalating from simple inventions such as a lawn mower to becoming more complex with objects such as robots over the last 200 years. Our quality of life all around the world has improved drastically, enhancing our way of living.
Electronic medical records have great promises to the American healthcare system based on increased efficiency, improved quality, reduced costs, lower readmission rates, and fewer illnesses among others. However, these systems collect and store personal information of patients as well as their medical histories over long periods. The information is sensitive and equally useful for many people and organizations including insurance companies, financial companies, fraudsters, identity thieves, and criminal thieves among others. Unauthorized access of the personal information or medical histories to these parties poses great risks to the health, life, and welfare of patients. Therefore, health organizations and practitioners should guarantee the privacy, confidentiality, and security of personal health information through compliance with HIPAA as well as installation of cyber security measures to deter unauthorized access, modification, damage, or distribution of patients

Vaccinations go through a series of testing to ensure that the shots are safe and effective; majority of the time, the side effects of the shot are minimal compared to the damage an illness can do to the individual. Vaccinations save time and money because if an individual does not get vaccinated, they are at great risk for acquiring an illness that will lead to more intense medical bills (USDHHS, n.d). Lastly, vaccinations help future generations. Shots have been given to people for so long now in order to fight different illnesses that some have completely vanished and others have become very rare. Like previously stated, Polio used to be a terrified illness and now there are no known cases in America at all (USDHHS,
