Increasing Quality Healthcare for Patients in a Healthcare Organization
Healthcare organizations are tasked with a variety of duties and responsibilities. It is
crucial for any given healthcare organization to provide the best medical services to the patients.
One of the major areas of concern in the modern day healthcare organizations is patient
satisfaction. (Aiken et al., 2012). Quality healthcare provision calls for better treatment service
which entails patient handling and satisfaction. A number of stakeholders, as well as the different
players in the healthcare sector, are expected to work together in order to provide quality health
services in an entire nation's healthcare systems. The different players tasked with
responsibilities towards better health services are the medical practitioners, the individual
patients, medical leadership, and management as well goodwill from the various governments

poor quality healthcare services in an organization and provides three key initiatives that are
geared towards the restoration of better health services. In doing so, the paper also explores a
number of key issues that are related to healthcare costs, hospital evolution and sources of law,
tort's laws as well as factors influencing healthcare quality in healthcare provision organizations.

delivery from the medical service providers to the patients (Mosadeghrad, 2014). Thus, there is a
need for better healthcare equipment as well as good plans and proper medical policies from the

government. As a quality officer in a selected nation, I would establish the following three
essential initiatives that are aimed at improving healthcare quality in any country.

Restructuring of the Healthcare Sector
It is crucial for the government to restore the entire healthcare system. The sole purpose
of this initiative would be to ensure that medical services are equally and properly distributed
throughout the country. For quality healthcare provision, it is essential for the government to
establish a very strong public health sector which is in turn supported by an equally strong
private sector (Ridic, Gleason & Ridic, 2012). Under this initiative, there would be a primary
healthcare provision at household or rural level. This would, in turn, be supported by regional or
district health centers which would mainly be responsible for planning, supervision as well as
offering support to the primary health care. A tertiary healthcare plan ...
