...Considering that the Mayo Clinic says the health of your teeth and gums can affect your overall health, comparing dental plans and choosing the one that is right for you is essential. You will be more likely to get preventative care and seek the emergency attention you might need if you have a dental plan in place.

Being debt free and dependent on inner city residents, the board of trustees authorized PMH to expand operations by adding an ambulatory facility in the downtown area ten blocks north of the hospital. Being open for 11 months now, Puce Health Clinic (PHC) has seen success by becoming self sufficient, increasing cliental, reducing bad debts by 2 % and minimizing the increase in their expenses. Sherri Worth, Assistant Administrator of PMH, has recognized a potential threat that could hurt their facility. Medcenter, a possible competitor, has been proposing to develop their own facility overlapping in service areas with PHC. This threat has the potential to take a third of PHC’s northern portion of personal illness patients and also 40% of potential personal illness patients in this area will go to the new location.

... A new medical clinic is opening up in your hometown and a mutual friend has recommended your services to the administrator of the clinic. You have received a letter asking you to provide information that would support their retaining your services rather than hiring employees for the same purposes. Assume that this letter may have gone out to other local firms as well. Working as a team, you will do the following two things: (a) After discussing and choosing a small business with your team, you will prepare a letter (in effect, an informal proposal) in response, offering your services to the clinic. (b) Follow up with an oral presentation before the administration of the clinic to discuss and further sell your services to them. On the date scheduled for the final presentation, each student will be responsible for evaluating one team, as assigned by the instructor, on their written and oral presentation. To help you prepare, a copy of the student team evaluation form has been provided. Additionally, students will evaluate the contribution of their fellow team members and themselves in developing the presentation. Evaluations will be taken into consideration in determining grades for the project.

I am one of the front desk receptionists, which is where the communication between patient and doctor begins. Sometimes this can be tough due to the diversity there are many language barriers, but things have started to get better with time. The clinic has become very successful with different means of advertising and communicating what the clinic has to offer for medical services. The cliental is usually low income, in which the state picks up the bill, so they have used every available source such as bill boards, radio ads, and commercials to promote people to use the clinics to help keep health cost down. There is also a web page that allows the client to a view the main website that contains many different types of information such as locations, specialties, job opportunities. The clinic is mainly run through phone calls, pages or messages being sent through I Pads. The clinic does not use traditionally health charts, this is...

To restructure our organization, executives have come together in hopes that they can construct a strategy that can reposition PMH. The first group of executives brainstormed solid recommendations for PMH. Their recommendations included (1) Increase price by 8 percent with a 2% decrease in bad debt. This option would be considered their do nothing option, but could still in fact positively alter company financials. (2) Extend clinic hours which would include hiring a new physician for coverage. (3) Offering gynecology services in the clinic. Their final recommendation included pursuing the third option. The executives supported their choice with company statistics that confirmed that about 35 percent of all patients were women under 35.

The clinician can volunteer to tell the client personal information if they choose. How a clinician handles is personal life is very important because a client could have seen the clinician outside of the office and want to ask questions about strike up a conversation about seeing the clinician. The client could also seek information about the clinician from outside sources. Disclosure of any person information should always be supervised so that the conversation stays on a professional level. As a provider the information that is being obtain from the client needs to be held in the strictest of confidence and careful to whom information can be legally and ethically shared.
