Assignment Details
The current organization of the health care system in the United States has been frequently criticized because of the lack of cohesiveness within the system. Other structural organizations within the health care system reflect the short comings of the U.S. health care system as a whole, which is why the structural organization of health care institutions will be examined here. The structure of health care organizations is meant to be a systematic method of organizing health care specialties within an institution; ideally, these specialties overlap and cross-talk, maintaining a strong cohesiveness within the entire institution.
Discuss the following questions:
- What drawbacks exist within the structure of health care institutions (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.)?
- Do all health care institutions have the same structure? If so, what factors contribute to the lack of consistency within health care institutions?
- How does this reflect on the structure of the U.S. health care system as a whole?
