I couldnt agree more that we need to make health care more accessible and affordable as well as the
quality of care. Healthcare is extremely expensive even just having a baby is expensive. Many people do
not want to receive healthcare based only on the price of how much it is. I think we need to come up
with a solution to bring healthcare costs down.
I think the health care reform that needs to be addressed is the Hospital readmission reduction
program. Upon discharge, patients should receive instructions on how they should proceed after they
return home. The medical staff should advise the patient when to follow up with their health care
provider. Patients should know how to take care of themselves when they leave the facility. If patients
return to the hospital within 30 days, the facility will not be paid for rendering care. In turn, this will
cause a decrease in payments over the years. In turn, this could put the facility under financial strain,
which could impact staffing and several other things. Hospital acquired admission and medical health
homes are part of the health care reform. The MCO role in future health care is to provide cost-
effective medical treatment. The goal is for all patients to have health insurance. According to the video,
those who do not have health insurance are hit with a penalty. In the first year, the penalty will not be
that much, but eventually individuals who continue without coverage will be taxed up to $600,
depending on the level of coverage selected.
I think you make a good point with having nurses who help discharge patients to tell them to follow up
with their primary physician. I know from personal experience I have had some tell me and other just
hand me the paperwork to sign and read by myself. I agree that just changing this one thing could help
the facility save money in the long run. Great post!
