Every day, more than thousands of people are treated successfully and safely in the health system of the United States. But advances in technology, knowledge and little staff available, the recent years have created a health system of enormous complexity. This complexity takes risks, and experience shows that things can go wrong and that adverse events will be given, and will affect the future of our health system. Patients may be affected despite the dedication and professionalism of our staff and that will be affected families. So conflicts also appear.

Atul Gawande is an American surgeon, professor, notable author, and writer for the New Yorker. In his 2015 article “Overkill,” he describes many of the flaws the American healthcare system holds. Throughout the article, Gawande intertwines personal stories, patient stories, and expert testimonies to make his argument stronger. Gawande argues, “Millions of Americans get tests, drugs, and operations that won’t make them better, may cause harm, and costs billions.” Or in many cases, he redefines over testing and “low-value” care as providing “no-value” care.
Although the US is technologically advanced and has some of the highest caliber medical professionals in the world, compared to many other industrialized countries, it has one of the lowest outcomes in regards to quality of care. Moreover, it has some of the highest overall medical costs (Panning, 2014). In the US, low quality care and high costs have resulted in fragmentation of the healthcare delivery system. Fragmentation of services often results in patient experiences that are poor, with less than desired
There is a noticeable gap in the supply for patients and demand for health care providers. Collaborating with fellow physician assistants, researching new ideas and focusing on new strategies for care in areas can help close this gap. Through my experiences, I have noted the need for support in patient care, and thus arises the question of should there be a requirement to enter the health care system through a gatekeeper. The overwhelming distance seen in the lack of professionals able to meet the demands of growing number of patients, eliminates the possibility of receiving adequate care. Overcrowded halls, overflowing rooms does not help balance the requirement for sufficient support.
Growing up, I have had my fair share of medical encounters, and was even on state insurance for most of my life. This meant that exceptional care was not always in reach, as I had to visit overflowing medical facilities and was unable to choose the better treatment options due to finances. Due to this, I advocate for my patient’s daily at work by calling insurances and working out the logistics of getting them the care they need, or helping them find resources if we hit a dead-end. Putting their care first, each and every day, has helped me advocate for patients of all populations.

The documentary film "Escape fire" is a simple truth that sets out issues about the cracked US healthcare system. The authors used the firefight scene as a metaphor to emphasize and make more visible and reachable the reality about US healthcare system and make people to that we have to fight against the defects of US healthcare system. We have to be aware and find even unthinkable solutions to save our healthcare system. To me the hospitals, doctors offices and other medical institutions should be the only place where saving human lives is considers number one priority not the moeny that dominates and rules the whole world.
The article reviews the development of goals as a result of an Institute of Medicine report that highlighted the number of patients harmed each year by inadequate hospital practices (Rajecki, 2009). The NPSGs are a top priority in patient care delivery today and have paved the way in increasing patient safety and thereby decreasing costs associated with inconsistent care (Rajecki, 2009). Most health care organizations are now addressing care in a transparent manner. Organizations are looking within to make sure best care practices are being performed and are involving patients and families in their health care goals to achieve better quality outcomes (Rajecki, 2009).
Within this film, they illustrate many problems with the current medical system, mostly to do with rules and regulations that restrict patient care. What the film lacks is an actual analysis of why these problems deprive patients of better care and, also, solutions to these problems. One of the most prevalent problems throughout the film, that stuck out to me, was the amount of
Despite higher spending on health care, the U.S. health care system ranked last on patient safety, efficiency and equity according to the Commonwealth Fund survey. Our aim should be reduction of high healthcare costs without decreasing people access to health care or sacrificing quality. A collaborative effort is required to work on above recommendations to solve the problems besetting our health care system. References: 1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3096004/ 2.
I watched your discussion with Bill O’Reilly where you shared your experience in fighting lung cancer. Congratulations on your success. You looked great, and you are an inspiring force with your perseverance and drive to beat the daunting odds. I had a major heart attack at the age of 42 and recognize how precious life is and the limited time we have. I am writing you in response to the frustration you experienced within the healthcare system in seeking the best care.

But an epidemic of aggressive medical care treatments such as too many procedures,too many blood tests provided by hospitals or clinics are costing our nation 's healthcare system billions of dollars each year. Despite being recognized to be harmful to patients and their loved ones, “aggressive care” is still administered to the majority(75%) of patients, concludes a study done by the American Society of Clinical Oncology(Johnson,2016). After watching the videos and reading the article on medical care my stance on aggressive healthcare is it is unnecessary and I am against it. What people don 't realize is that if we keep providing aggressive health care treatments to individuals suffering from serious illnesses or people living through the end of life it can take a human toll in pain, mental or emotional suffering, severe implications and even death. Most people prefer to die peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones and want care to focus on comfort, but that is not always the case for many patients who die in hospitals hooked up to hospital machines in pain and suffering to hold on for their dear lifes.
INTRODUCTION In the United states(U.S) hospital care is the largest component of the health services which accounts for about 31% of all money spent on health care in 2005 (Catlin et al. 2005; AHA 2006).Contemporarily, enormous use of limited facilities by patients is the supplementary issue of the diverse mixture of hospitals, patients, market settings and financial resources have compromised the health care providers to strike a balance between efficiency and quality.(Woolhandler, and Himmelstein,2004; Coulter et al. 2000). A mix of public and private organization’s hospitals in the US in which Not-For-Profit (NFP) and For-Profit (FP) institutions are found. Healthcare organizations can begin either like FP or NFP.
