Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) Vs. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) profile

/in /by

Student Sumetria

The differences and similarities between Managed Care Organizations (MCO) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) will be explained below.

The MCO is a group of medical providers and facilities that provide care to its members at a reduced cost. Many MCO’s require the patient to have a primary care provider. The ACO is a group of medical providers and medical facilities that work together to provider collaborative care to its members. The ACO doesn’t require the member to have a primary care provider.    The providers work together voluntarily to provider care as a medical team for the patient. The different specialties work with each other to treat the patient with continuity of care. The information is shared so that all the providers that are treating the patient are aware of the medications, tests, hospital visits. And treatment the patient has currently and the past treatments. The providers that are part of the MCO’s don’t work as a team to provider collaborative care to the patients.

collaborative care to the patients.

They don’t strive to work together to treat the patient with the team approach like providers in the ACO’s strive for. The MCO groups can share information if it is requested. The focus is not continuity of care.  Some providers send their notes to the referring provider as a courtesy.  The ACO’s are still changing to become better.  The MCO’s and ACO’s may transform and merge into one entity to meet the needs of consumers.

They both are similar enough to the point where I think they can be combined with the best interest of the consumer in mind. I believe that we can take the best features from both of them. Considering the current health care environment , continuity of care is important. This is the best way to treat the patient with the best possible outcome. Having the providers work together as a team avoids having the patient take medications that interact, repeating the same tests. And other wasteful or harmful medical practice. This approach can also reduce the cost of medical care. The cost of medical care is constantly increasing and I think this is a way to reduce the cost of medical care. This will help control wasteful spending.

Health care spending is the biggest drive for formulating the different kinds of payment systems in healthcare. Health care insurance enrollees may obtain care from various Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) or Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).

Managed Care Organizations (MCOs): is a group of people working together to manage the cost of health care.  MCOs work along with medical facilities and health care providers to render support to MCO patients, only pays for the care provided and its plan is not as flexible as ACOs and MCOs give incentives to physicians like the ACOs. There are four types of MCOs: Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO), and Point-of-Service Plan (POS).

According to (Andrews, 2014), HMOs only pay within network health care and insurers need a referral to seek care from a specialist or else the services provider will not be covered. For PPOs, care is covered both in and out of the network, however. The patient pays a higher premium for out of network care.  In EPO, care is not covered outside of the network, nevertheless; patients do not require referral to get seen by a specialist.  In POS, plan varies between HMOs and PPOs, and insurers may seek out of network care but with a higher cost-sharing rate. PPO and HMO both have Medicare options.

The Ethical Principle of Providing Healthcare for Deaf Patients

The Ethical Principle of Providing Healthcare for Deaf Patients

NUR 4242: Ethics in Nursing

The Ethical Principle of Providing Healthcare for Deaf Patients

The deaf community is a vulnerable population with a language barrier when accessing healthcare (Laur, 2017). Due to their condition, deaf patients cannot hear, preventing them from effectively communicating with providers and nurses about their health. According to the American with Disabilities Act, hospitals and clinics must have communication methods for patients and family members who are deaf or hard of hearing (United States Department of Justice, 2005). A sign-language interpreter is trained to effectively communicate with the patient using American Sign Language (ASL). The interpreter is an advocate for the patient and helps communicate with healthcare professionals throughout their hospital stay.

The Ethical Principle of Providing Healthcare for Deaf Patients

This communication includes the patient’s chief complaints, signs/symptoms, tests, medications, procedures, and treatment. When a health care professional overlooks the patient’s condition and does not address the patient’s communication needs, miscommunication occurs, leading to misdiagnosis from the physician or delayed medical treatment. This is a significant issue to investigate because they do not provide a level of standard of care for the patient. There is a breach of ethical and professional duty leading to negligence and lawsuit against the hospital. This paper investigates the principle of treating deaf patients, the impact of a language barrier when accessing healthcare and the moral responsibility in providing care to the deaf community.

Ethical Dimensions of Limited Access to Healthcare

Limited access to health care for the deaf community is an ethical problem. There are 6 million deaf patients in the United States of America and 38 million people with hearing problems (Laur, 2017). They are not receiving equal access to health care and services as abled individuals. According to the ADA, all locations must have accessibility and proper communication for an individual with a disability (U.S. Department of Justice, 2005).

This lack of accessibility leads to health disparities for individuals in the vulnerable population, such as the deaf community for resources, transportation, nutrition, education, advocacy, and health promotion. Furthermore, deaf patients are at a disadvantage because they need additional help and undergo ethnocentrism due their disability. Deaf community has negative connotations and has experienced victimization and discrimination with terms such as, “deaf-dumb”, “deaf-mute” or hearing impaired meaning they do not have a voice and nor have to ability to learn or have reasonable thinking (National Association of Deaf, 2020).

Leading Innovation In Nursing

/in /by

Characteristics of Adaptive Leaders

 

Know your Environment: Adaptive DNP leaders should embrace the uncertainty of the changing healthcare environment and look for new approaches to achieve the health outcomes of their patients. This may not be the time to be sticking to the rules of the previous volume-based model of care. Those leaders who develop different perspectives. That go beyond the tradition way of thinking, and encourage their team members to do the same, can adapt to. And thrive, in the new value-based model of healthcare.

Lead with Empathy: Adaptive DNP leaders should embody an interprofessional, collaborative, attitude. Through this type of attitude, they will understand alternative perspectives and be able to respond with empathy. Adaptive DNP leaders should reward their employees with autonomy to work independently. And manage their own activities. It is through this type of intrinsic motivation that employees are allowed to grow and contribute to the organization.

Learn from Self-Assessment and Reflection: During this time of organizational change. Adaptive DNP leaders should encourage experimentation to improve processes that lead to positive patient experiences and outcomes. Some experiments may fail, but failures can serve as lessons for the future. Adaptive DNP leaders should encourage their teams to reflect on both their successes and failures. It is important that employees are able to trust the team to identify mistakes and problems in order to respond quickly to them.

Find the Win-Win Solution: Adaptive DNP leaders value platforms for cooperation and build on them. Healthcare depends on multiple layers of stakeholders including providers, suppliers, insurers. And teams of support personnel. Adaptive DNP leaders need to include these stakeholders in the new value-based model in order to sustain a changing economical business model. Value-based care cannot be provided without having a win-win solution for the transition from volume-based care.

Adaptive DNP leaders

Description

To be innovative, you have to be willing to act like a scientist and challenge assumptions.

Lesson Summary

Innovative leaders are willing to think and act like a rogue—they willingly challenge assumptions.

Individuals can become more innovative by acting like a scientist. To start, keep a record of hypotheses for new ways of getting things done.

Treat these hypotheses as experiments and come up with options for things you might do differently.
