Twenty Five Years of Healthcare

Paper Summary:

There have been numerous changes in the field of healthcare over the past twenty-five years. Many of these have occurred behind the scenes in areas such as regulation and documentation requirements. Others are obvious, such as advancement in medicines and technology. All have some degree of impact on the delivery of healthcare to the patient. Most have an impact on the cost of healthcare delivery. By interviewing a healthcare provider who has been in the industry for the past 25 years, this paper examines what area of change has made the greatest difference and what the future has in store.

From the Paper:

"Finally, the health care industry is changing extremely fast. New technology requires ongoing training for healthcare providers. With change being a constant, healthcare workers find themselves under more and more pressure just to "get it right," said the D.O.N. The downside of new technology is the risk to which it exposes the patient. While ongoing training is essential, time and labor is inconsistent. Constant relearning poses a degree of threat to patients. Ongoing training is destabilizing. When a new nurse finds that his or her nursing supervisor knows less than they in terms of procedural change it is difficult to give the best care."
