Introduction

The purpose of this study is to expand the boundaries of our knowledge by exploring some relevant material relating to the Organization of a Health Care Facility. The health system in the United States is characterized by contradictions and complexity. On one hand, United States possesses a great amount of latest technology, including many of the top business medicine schools, clinics, hospitals and research centers worldwide. But many American health resources are not provided to much of the population. The great contradiction is that, although, American has one of the largest, expensive and complicated health systems in the world, still over 42 million Americans have minimal access to health resources. The debate on the health system is increasing every year, while system problems affect more and more citizens. The three problems of the large health systems are: System Administration, social security, political influence on the reform proposals and contradiction between the cost of the health system and services it offers. The U.S. the health system is seen as a business subject to free market forces and political manipulation (Aaron, 2008).

In this paper, the author will act as an administrator to create and open a new specialty health care business. This is a clinic with physicians who specialize in the following areas: dermatology, gynecology, heart disease, respiratory disease, surgery, and gastroenterology. It is located in an exclusive neighborhood.
