    South Carolina is a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact (National Council of State Board of Nursing, 2017). Being a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, will allow the nurse more flexibility to practice in the different states within the compact state. The nurse can respond to a state of emergency located in the compact state. For example, with the most recent catastrophic event that occurred in Texas with the hurricane Harvey. The local nurses were over worked and desperately needed relief from the long hours in response to hurricane Harvey. Since Texas is a member of the interstate nurse license compact, this allowed a quicker response to the catastrophic event and the nurses where able to find relief from their duties quickly. If Texas was not a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, with the entire state of Texas being considered a state of emergency, and there would have been a delay with the nurses in the state of Texas with relief from their duties.…

    Managed care contributes a vast amount to the healthcare system. Without managed care systems I don’t think health facility, insurances agencies and companies would manage. Agree, professionals are to adapt and accommodate changes based on contracts between managed care systems and other agencies. In my opinion, the technology advancement within the health care system has improved tremendously in a positive way. For example; when I switched my daughter primary doctor around shot time, me being old fashion handed her the paper shot record. She replied “ma’am it already imported into the system; we don’t use the paper anymore.” This is totally a successful and less stressful outcome on a person if it was to get lost or misplaced. These…

    From these chapter I have gain the knowledge of know, the delivery of health traditionally evolved around the individual relationship between the provider and patient/consumer. The payment was either provided by a health insurance company or paid out of pocket by the consumer. This fee-for-service system or indemnity plan increased the cost of healthcare because there were no controls on how much to charge for the providers service. As healthcare costs continued to spiral out of control throughout the decades, more experiments with contract practice and prepaid service occurred randomly across the U.S. healthcare system (Shi & Singh, 2008)…
