Speaking with a Quality Manager from a local health center, Clinica Sierra Vista, I was informed that Community Health Centers are controlled by a management team and a board of directors, there may be a few physicians such as the Chief Medical Officer on the team, but aside from that there is a lack of representation from the care providers which up until recently, never been addressed. It has always been the culture of this organization to allow the management team to control and implement and providers to serve. What providers are realizing is that management teams are out of touch with the day-to-day operations of the health centers.…

    Many of the children came from large families who were only able to give them limited attention, despite the fact that they desperately needed large amounts of individualized attention. The care that staff gave these children helped level the playing field for some of them. Despite their differences, all patients, first are foremost, are united by the fact that they are people who just want to improve their heath. As someone who is passionate about connecting with and helping others, I am interested in more than just the medical problems that people might have; I am interested in the patients as people. These experiences made me realize how important understanding the whole patient is.…

    Author of nonfiction book “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall”, Anne Fadiman relays the questions to her readers in her preface: “What makes a good parent?” and “What makes a good doctor?” As far as anyone is concerned for the latter question, specifically what makes outstanding health care, Carolyn M.

    Coastal Medical Center was founded after World War II using the Hill-Burton Act and by raising funds locally. From a modest beginning with 100 beds and a limited number of services offered, the medical center has grown significantly with 450 beds and now offers a full range of services. Much of CMC’s success can be given to former CEO Don Wilson. Serving from 1990 to 2008, Wilson was seen as visionary and was very helpful in transforming the medical center to its present status as a tertiary care facility offering high-intensity care services. The medical center raised $15.4 million during Wilson’s final year as CEO.…

    As a child, I was very attached to my grandmother. One night, she complained of chest pain and shortness of breath. Although my grandmother was rushed to a nearly hospital, the facility was poorly equipped to provide her with appropriate medical care, and she immediately passed away. Like her, there are many others living in medically underserved communities who do not have access to a state-of-the-art medical facility. To the best of my ability, I want to prevent such tragic losses from happening, and I have become passionate about promoting healthcare equity for underserved populations.…

    After acquiring the medical knowledge I hope to transform this organization into one that operates medical facilities within highly underserved communities starting in the U.S and branched out abroad. The most recent medical brigade trip sponsored by the organization was a scheduled three weeks in Haiti, helped provide basic medical care and education to the underserved communities of “Cotes-de-Fer” and “Petit Goave.” The experience was eye opening in the sense that it helps me understand some of the logistics that are required to render a minimal level of care. That experience is unique from the position of working as a medic because we have not just provided care, but were deeply involved with the local population daily routine. That level of involvement helps us to properly educate the locals on the importance of hygiene and disease prevention.…

    There are several business principles related to patient and system costs in health care that are needed to maintain safe, quality, patient-centered care that is fiscally sound. For this discussion, I will put myself in the shoes of a nurse manager, director of nursing, Chief Nursing Officer, or business owner and consider three of the principles from the Greg Fisher Power Point (2008). The principles I will examine are: 1) decide what makes you different; 2) manage employees; and 3) set goals. The reason why I selected these three business principles is that they appear to me to be a good place to start the groundwork for any business model, including the field of health care.…
