This report analyzes alternatives for reducing expenses and strategies to break-even the margin by the end of CY2018 and plans to increase the operating margin to $40 M by the end of CY2021. Some of the problems SHR and the surrounding community are facing include an uneven distribution of health care professionals, lack of attention to behavioral health, an insufficient number of beds in
In addition, they allege that such policies violated standards of acceptable medical care. With respect to the challenged medication practices, plaintiffs theorize that, although they have a right to receive treatment when confined at a state mental institution, they, nonetheless, have a constitutional right to refuse such treatment. Plaintiffs acknowledge, however, that their asserted right to refuse treatment is not absolute, and must yield to the Hospital's right to
20) "improves organizational functioning and goes beyond the scope of formal job descriptions. " Sloat further goes on stating that "informal interactions and contributions often determine whether a company achieves sustainable excellence in performance" (pg. 20). CareSouth Carolina strives to improve access and utilization of their services by improving patient growth and retention. Furthermore, CareSouth Carolina aims to improve and maintain their percentage of patients identified in need of prevention services who receive care as a result of follow-up and tracking
(Langford, 2013, p.88). In addition to creating the patient financial services center, UPMC made identifying uninsured and underinsured patients earlier in the healthcare process a priority (Langford, 2013). The identification process “required integrating financial advocacy and counseling across the continuum of care” starting with scheduling agents who verify insurance eligibility and provide referrals to the patient financial services centers to be evaluated for medical assistance programs (Langford, 2013). During pre-arrival, “revenue cycle staff use a web-based eligibility tool developed in-house to verify insurance coverage, non-covered services, benefit maximums, benefit limitations, patient responsibility, and procedures requiring authorization,” then on the day of service, agents conduct additional brief financial assessments for patients and schedule follow-up calls with financial counselors in the customer services department (Langford, 2013, p. 89). These new processes as well as the post-service interactions have resulted in the hospital revenue cycle receiving “payments from 70 percent of its high-propensity accounts and 58 percent of its medium-propensity
A strength of PMHS service coordination units is that services are aimed to assist the “whole person.” We meet consumers at their levels, work on what is important to them and create an individualized approach to help each consumer. Additionally, strength of the unit is paperwork. From intake to closing, paperwork provides structure to the unit and stands something tangible for both consumers and SCs to see their progress, even if they still have more work before obtaining all of the consumer’s goals. On the other hand, limitations include a disproportion number of SCs compared to other unit.
California Medicaid program, also known as Medi-Cal is the largest Medicaid program in the nation. With the rollout of Medicaid expansion in 2014, the Medi-Cal is suffering an unsustainable high ED use rate. The identification of a model of care to direct patients to the appropriate setting for care has emerged as a top priority for the state’s health policy. Safety-net clinics play a pivotal role in delivering both primary and specialty care to millions of low-income people, and yet we know little about their performance under different health care delivery models. With the implementation of Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) in early 2012, where the clinics integrated patient engagement, health information technology, coordination of care, quality of care and access to care to their daily practice, it would be interesting to find out the impact of this model on the healthcare utilization of Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

The Problems of Medi-Cal Program The California Medicaid program, also known as Medi-Cal is experiencing a rapid growth in its membership. With the rollout of Medicaid expansion in 2014, it has led to the explosion in Medi-Cal enrollment. As of October 2015 the Medi-Cal program has reached about 12 million enrollees, which constitutes 30% of the state’s population, and consumes 15% of state expenditures. Given its size and spending, one question deserves all Californians’ attention is that “do we have sufficient resources to provide care to all Medi-Cal beneficiaries”?
Hayes learned that the vast majority of the patients only used Boardwalk Clinic during the times when their current caregivers were unavailable and they planned on returning to their current medical providers during traditional business hours. Thus, patients that need services during nontraditional hours most likely chose Boardwalk Clinic as their second choice, only because their first choice was not available. Although Dr. Hayes and her colleagues had a better understanding of the retention issue, they were still at a loss as to what steps the clinic could take to attract those patients in the Chelsea marketplace who already had relationships with other healthcare providers to make Boardwalk their first choice. There are a couple steps Boardwalk Clinic could take to ensure an increased rate of patient retention.
These issues are longstanding and were detailed in another report in 2001 by the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Mental Health. Furthermore, the problems of the mental health and substance use delivery system that existed in 2000 are identical to those facing us today(OHA, 2013). Problems like gridlock in state hospitals and in the emergency rooms and inpatient units of our general hospitals and the need for more community options in order that children and adults may receive appropriate services in the least restrictive environment, needs immediate
To ensure that the illness of an individual does not worsen they are provided for without any charge which then stops them from being readmitted in to hospital. Individuals who do not have any money to pay for after treatment when they leave the hospital will not be able to fully recover if there was a fee for the aftercare and this would discriminate against those with a low income or very little money at all. Having these services enables all sufferers of mental disorder the chance to heal fully, without any cost burdens. An advantage of this Legislation is that it protects the service user 's right to be protected from harm and danger. Some, patients suffering from mental health issues result to self-harm or may harm others.

and routine of things can be disrupted by the change and need of adjustment to the care and environment. Along with the change and loss of control there can also be a loss in the recognition by staff for the need of mental health interventions. Untreated mental health needs can expand into; medical, functional, and social issues. There is even in a possible increase in mortality if untreated (Reiflen & Bruce, 2014).
As I progress in my career, I feel that it is important to develop a personal style and technique that clients can relate to. I am also interested in learning more about assessments and evaluations as they drive the rehabilitation plan. While I have assessed hundreds of clients, I realize that there is more to learn. For instance, the trend over the next five years will be an increase in applicants who receive state-plan home and community based services. The Final Rule issued by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid will require that individuals receive services in the most integrated settings.
