Non-ethical considerations related to the problem include future decisions that affect all stakeholders like national or state law mandating insurance or public budgets, and macroeconomic conditions underlying individuals' ability to pay. These policy decisions have yet to make it through court and even were such law passed today, the effects in the field would take until 2014 (Cogan, 2011, p
D.s mentioned a recent study she had read claiming this was growing more prevalent across the industry for several years now (Cunningham and May, 2006) and others mentioned more recent corroborating evidence (e
Medicare should not limit anyone on their hospital stay. This is what needs done in order for individuals to receive the highest quality of care needed (Daley, Jencks, Draper, Lenhart, Thomas, & Walker, 1988)
Much time and patience is needed for this to happen. Furthermore, nursing staff can discuss what is taking place with the hospital beds and why they are constantly running short, so the problem is solved without having to come up with creative ways in which to make this happen (Joskow, 1980)
Several rabbis and even scholars are noted to have been physicians. This included Maimonides, a once renowned rabbi, physician and even a philosopher (Illievitz,1935; Gesundheit & Hadad,2005)
The researchers thereupon recommended modifying diagnostic criteria as well urging researchers to review the models used to explain DBD. (Burke, Loeber, & Birmaher, 2002)
What is spirituality and why is it important in healthcare settings? According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, spirituality is a belief in a power far greater than humans can imagine; spirituality is a sense and an awareness that humans are connected to the world and all its creatures. "It's the way you find meaning, hope, comfort, and inner peace in your life" (Ehrlich, 2011, p
TWO -- Different Traditions. An article in the Journal of Clinical Nursing (Pesut, et al
There are definite advantages to becoming familiar with patients' spirituality, and those include two insights: a) Studies show that religious convictions affect the decisions of healthcare professionals. While a Jehovah's Witness family may not want the doctor to withdraw the support of a ventilator from their dying grandfather, given that a "miracle" still could happen, a chaplain well-versed in spirituality could convince them that allowing grandfather to have "a peaceful death" and "union with God" was in itself a miracle (Puchalski, 2001, p
TWO (c). Spiritual competence cannot be achieved when a "…shallow hit-and-run approach" is employed; while it's basic to teach a nurse how to use email, that nurse may need "mentoring" in order to achieve a "holistic spiritual" competency (Raffay, 2010, p
S. continues to experience higher rates of teenage pregnancies than these, or any other industrialized nation in the world (Barnes, 2002)
While the principle of accessibility promotes universal health care coverage, equitable access to health services is not always the case in practice (Morton & Loos, 1995). In the second-largest country in the world, geographic proximity to tertiary healthcare facilities is one of the most important factors in the provision of quality of healthcare services (Benoit, Carroll & Millar, 2002)
18). The question of efficient provision of care to low-income pregnant women is further complicated by the fact that there may be gross inefficiencies in the quality of medical care that is provided to the affluent who do enjoy robust insurance plans such as overtesting, inappropriate surgeries, and so forth (Collins & Williams, 1995)
S., Switzerland and Canada A Comparison of Healthcare Options Pregnant Women in United States, Canada and Switzerland The healthcare systems in Western societies do not assume that a woman requires health information; however, collectively, it has become well recognized that good information is necessary to a pregnant woman, and that understanding the stages of pregnancy, labor, and delivery is important to good perinatal care (Crook, 1995)
Conclusion and Critique. The health of the mother during pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period has been directly linked with the health of her newborn, reinforcing the need to integrate maternal and neonatal health care strategies (Darmstadt, Lawn, & Costello, 2003)
There were some problems noted, though, in the provision of neonatal services to the large migrant population (McDowell, 1996). Health insurance in Switzerland is compulsory and regulated by federal law; the healthcare system is financed in each canton by varying individual contributions, and is supplemented by federal and cantonal subsidies for the indigent (Diem, 2004)
, prenatal) to the most sophisticated (e.g., neonatal intensive) (Ginzberg & Rogers, 1993)
The citizens of Switzerland enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world as well as a sophisticated and high-quality healthcare system that, like its counterpart in Canada, provides universal healthcare services. There were some problems noted, though, in the provision of neonatal services to the large migrant population (McDowell, 1996)
Yet, quality healthcare remains out of reach for many pregnant U.S. women (McGarry, 2002)
645). While the principle of accessibility promotes universal health care coverage, equitable access to health services is not always the case in practice (Morton & Loos, 1995)
