However, in 2008 under Ron Henderson, the medical center expenses began to skyrocket and revenues failed to keep up. Also, a hospital census indicated that, on average, Medicare patients consisted of 58% and Medicaid patients consisted of 18% which caused the medical center to suffer from reductions in reimbursements. Although noted by solid evidence that utilization was experiencing a steep decline, Mr. Henderson added 127 new positions to the medical center. In 2009, Mr. Henderson was fired after the board of trustees realized that this financial bind of an $8.6 million deficit was caused by Mr. Henderson. In order for the new CEO, Richard Reynolds, to succeed at his new job title, he must create a benchmarking process adopting certain goals to remain a worthy competitor.

Camden is an example of this type of place-based approach. Camden is among the poorest city in the United States. It population face high rate of poverty and often lack access to care, with high utilizers of ER and hospital visits for preventable conditions that are treatable by a primary provider. As a result, individuals have difficulty accessing primary care along with a number of “behavioral, social, and medical issues” (Heiman & Artiga, 2015). The Camden Coalition used data to identify a small group of patients who had consumed a large quantity of medical resources and limited assets. Using these finding, the coalition designed and implemented a citywide health-information exchange, to coordinate care and locate patients in needs of intervention.

In 2006, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre designed a web site for patients enrolled in a clinical research trial (Curtis, Cheng, Rose, & Tsai, 2011). MyChart’s success has resulted from healthcare providers engaging patients in their own healthcare and utilizing electronic access to personal health information (Curtis et al., 2011). The biggest challenges stem from institutional and end-user adoption, usability, and trust in acute healthcare settings (Curtis et al., 2011). MyChart continues to respond to developmental challenges of adoption, feature designs and usability improvements, multi-site integration and service enabling, and the development of research areas (Curtis et al., 2011). Sunnybrook has experienced a positive change in

Since the primary goal of public health nursing is promoting health and preventing disease within the community, it’s essential that nurses be able to gather and assess demographic information to diagnose the local needs of the population and consider that information when developing a health improvement plan (Nies & McEwan, 2015). The assignment this week is to gather statistics from county, state and national databases and analyze the findings to identify actual or potential areas of concern.
