From the Paper:
"Healthcare costs and payment are increasingly problematic across the U.S. market because of increasing costs and increasing rates of uninsured patients. Within the healthcare apparatus there are some aspects which affect the cost of healthcare greatly such as staffing requirements, workload activities, as well as a host of variables, all of which affect affordability which have led to costs increasing as much as 12% by recent estimates (Medical, 2007). These variables consist of shift percentages, skill mix percentages, education and training costs, and a host of other miscellaneous expenses related to healthcare delivery (Geisler, Krabbendam & Schuring, 2003)."Sample of Sources Used:
