CONDITIONS IMPACTING HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS EVOLVE CONSTANTLY FROM THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY TO NEW CMS POLICIES OR REGULATIONS

 
Conditions impacting health care organizations evolve constantly, from the state of the economy, to new CMS policies or regulations, to consumer demand for the latest technology. Operations managers must anticipate how potential developments might impact the facility’s operations.
For this Discussion you are asked to integrate concepts from throughout the course by considering how emergent trends are likely to impact areas within health care operations.
Review Table 1-2 on page 22 in the Langabeer text,Langabeer, J. R. (2008). Health care operations management. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett.,(google) which lists 12 evolving trends in health care operations management, as well as the trends listed later in Langabeer, on pages 362–368. Select one of these evolving trends, and if you wish, narrow your focus to a specific topic within this trend, such as a particular kind of software to improve productivity. Ideally, you should select a trend that will likely impact the area of health care in which you intend to work in the future.
Continue to prepare for this Discussion by reviewing your Learning Resources from this course related to your selected trend. In addition, locate and read at least two recent articles and one or more websites that discuss this trend. The resources you find must help you address the following:

  • Consider the operational issues related to this trend, including the challenges or opportunities that have led to it. What are the causes of this trend? What is the future likely to bring?
  • How are quantitative methods contributing to, or likely to impact, this trend?
  • Why and how should health care managers prepare for this uncertain, but potential development?

 
In your posting, support your assertions by drawing on your Learning Resources from throughout the course as well as on the articles and website(s) you located this week.
 
Post by Day 4 a response to the following:

  • Identify your selected trend in the first line of your posting.
  • Describe the background or causes of this trend, and assess its significancIe.  n what ways do you think this trend will transform health care operations?
  • What is the role that quantitative methods play, or might play, in this emergent trend?

THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT AND A CAPITALIST ECONOMY II

The Affordable Health Care Act and a Capitalist Economy II
  • Many would argue that in a capitalistic economy, the government cannot provide goods and services as efficiently as the private sector. For example, most arguments for and against the Affordable Health Care Act center on the efficiency of the government in managing and operating a health care system. Do you think the government can provide goods and services to the public as efficiently as or better than the private sector? Support your conclusions with examples and applications.
  • In a free-market economy, firms face some degree of uncertainty, or risk. Some of this risk is controllable, and some is not. Identify the different types of risk that a business might encounter in the marketplace and identify whether they are controllable or uncontrollable. How can a business incorporate risk into the decision-making process?

Justify your choices with valid assumptions and logically driven arguments. Cite any sources using APA format.
