Care Plan

Introduction

This assignment will cover three forces that affect our healthcare system and the development. The three that I will cover are disease, availability, and social organizations. There are more but these three seems to stand out more because they are top of the list on talks when you mention healthcare reform. In this paper I will also address the popularity of information technology in the health care industry. Information is an important part of communication this is a big thing in any rim of business but when it come to healthcare information needs to be organized so that it can be accessible for any level of healthcare.

As the center focus of cardiology, the heart has numerous anatomical features (e.g., atria, ventricles, heart valves) and numerous physiological features (e.g., systole, heart sounds, afterload) that have been encyclopedically documented for many centuries.

Disorders of the heart lead to heart disease and cardiovascular disease and they lead to a significant number of deaths: cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and caused 29.34% of all deaths in 2002.

The market for cardiac medical devices in the US is one of the most prominent healthcare segments in the country as aging population and the demand for innovative treatment options are consistently boosting the market. We project that this lucrative market is likely to register a CAGR of around 9% during 2012-2015. In this context, the report effectively analyzes the current market size and key drivers. It also provides the forecast for the overall market and its key segments namely: cardiac rhythm management, interventional cardiology and cardiovascular surgery.

As a key clinical program, contributing significantly to patient volume, community health and the economic viability of the hospital, cardiovascular medicine is an important part of the future of healthcare. At the core of cardiovascular programs is innovative technology, evolving techniques and a rapid progression in scientific research for the prediction, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of coronary and vascular disease.

Trends

Evolving protocols for percutaneous coronary interventions, including: cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology

Potential introduction of advanced CT for cardiac diagnostics has the potential to replace portions of cardiac catheterization volume

Advancing technology and protocols, such as magnetic resonance-guided catheterization

Potential application of patient genotyping and phenotyping to expand awareness, risk evaluation and information on treatments

Outreach for risk evaluation, education and wellness programs

Desire to establish notable expertise in the marketplace

The necessity to create full-spectrum services for the cardiovascular patient

Healthcare Planning

The absence of national health care reform and the growing number of uninsured individuals in the United States have prompted states to develop plans to provide medical care for the low income and the indigent. Many local health departments are not only responsible for the core public health functions; but they are increasingly called upon to provide person health care services for those who cannot afford it. This article chronicles the development of the health care system in the United States and describes the contemporary role of the local public health department. (J Health Hum Serv ...
