Introduction Ideal healthcare system will be the one that works for all the individuals in the community without disparity or confusion. With an ideal healthcare system, members in a community will get adequate access to care, basic information, better research and information for the patients (Yvonne, 2009).In this paper; I will discuss the various key factors to be addressed in the development of an ideal model of care.
Access to health care Access to healthcare is a factor of great importance that needs to be addressed by any healthcare system. Issues such as the number of nursing centers and the total number of beds in hospitals will have to be evaluated for easy accessibility and management. Healthcare professionals, through the Affordable care Act; have been given more control over their healthcare than ever before (Interact Healthcare Consortium, 1992). With an ideal healthcare system, the relationships between the professionals and the patients will be far much ahead of paperwork and insurance company profits and this will give the professionals consistent incentives to effectively coordinate care. The healthcare system will be designed to lower cost-sharing to empower healthcare professionals as they will need not to worry about patients being unable to afford the required treatments. Under infrastructure, an ideal healthcare system will provide sufficient funding through debt services for direct construction and or innovation of public facilities. The mainly targeted facilities are those that provide inpatient tertiary care, research and outpatient clinical services. The proposed facilities must however certify that the new health center is crucially important for the greatest access to care in the community and must also certify that it is crucially

    Cost, Quality, and Access .

    Hospitals are very large and complex systems requiring a wide range of skill and knowledge; when a new hospital is planned, there are certain phases of construction that must take place. The first priority when building any new structure is cost and location, and a hospital is no exception. For a hospital another very important priority is services; hospitals consist of various specialties, several departments and multiple levels of services. Identifying and deciding on which services is important in the design phase; focusing on how many bed each department will house, where each department will be located, and how many employees will be needed to operate the hospital safely (Eberst, 2008). While all these things are very important, none address the true purpose of a Hospital. A Hospital is a…

Even though most Americans may agree that our health care system is in turmoil and needs to be reformed, not everyone agrees that a national health care tax is the solution.…
