...Health Care Museum Monica Joshua HCS/235 July 2,2014 Health Care Museum After reading this week chapters and having the knowledge of heath care field, I have came to understand that there are several aspects from vaccines to new disease. In this paper I will discuss five exhibits and how it has changed health care. Vaccine Vaccine has played a huge role in human history. Dr. Edward Jenner, introduced the first vaccination in 1796 for small pox. In 1809 there was only the state of Massachusetts that mandated vaccination for small pox and other states followed. In 1879, the Anti-Vaccination Society of America stated that no one should be mandated to be vaccinated due to the vaccine causing corruption in the blood and also cause the spread of disease instead of curing it. Penicillin Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. Before penicillin was introduced there was no cure for infections. He observed that Staphylococcus had been contaiminated by a blue-green mold but discovered that bacteria adjacent to the mold were being dissolved. Birth The delivery of babies has changed tremendously in health care. In early years women was forbidden to practice medicine. If they did they were considered being witches and were put to death. Barber-surgeon was most common medical practitioners that delivered babies. Health Insurance In the early 1900’s health insurance seemed to be inevitable. In 1912, President Roosevelt endorsed health insurance. The American Association...

...Health Care Museum Latesha Leftwich Health Care Delivery in the U.S. - HCS235 June 17, 2013 Elaina Mahlan, Facilitator Health Care Museum The United States health care system did not always exist and before 1920, most people did not have health care treatment. In order to understand our current healthcare system you need to know about the history of healthcare, how it started, and its evolution. In my research, you will learn about the history of and present usage of the American Medical Association, hospitals, nurses, Medicare/Medicaid, and the HMO Act of 1973. Exhibit A: The American Medical Association The American Medical Association (AMA) came about to make sure that traditional medicine and scientific concepts was used in colleges that deemed themselves as medical schools (Encyclopedia, 2001). A group of doctors who were a part of different local and state associations formed the AMA. They thought that medical education was not keeping up on a national level, that there were no consistent curriculums, and that medicine was not about healing arts associated with mystic beliefs (Encyclopedia, 2001). Since its start, the AMA has closed huge gaps in how medical students are taught and how healthcare is delivered (Lazarus, J. 2013). I believe that the AMA should be a part of my museum because without the AMA science would not have been applied to healthcare and without those sciences how would we have developed in the knowledge of healthcare today? The AMA is committed...

Exhibit A: Home Health Care Historic timeline of (VNA) Visiting nursing association, is not a replacement for all hospital care, but has become an important setting for delivering preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitation, and long term maintenance services, while proving care in the home since the 1800’s.Visiting nurse association is known by several names; VNA, or home health care agency/association. Dating back to 1896, with Anna Millard and Omaha Women’s club, organized the “VNA” to aide Miss Millard in her benevolent work (vnna,2013 ). With long history of providing care, VNA are recognized as an important community resource, as patients spend less time in the hospital and the American population continues to age.

Medicare Exhibit 1 As part of the Social Security Act the Medicare Program was signed into law on July 30, 1965 by President Johnson. This program came into place because Americans over 65 could not get insurance. Created in the 1960 it was based on the private insurance system that was in use at the time. Administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare is purely a government program Austin and Wetle (2012).

...Health Care Museum Tamecka Peterson HCS/235 May 17, 2014 Crystal Frankart Health Care Museum Since the early eighteen hundreds a lot has changed in health care. During this time and age women were the primary caregivers. Domestic medicine also so known as physicians treated the serious cases. As the Health Care Hall of Fame Museum curator I would integrate several exhibits that have changed health care. Midwives Midwifery has been a long standing practice for women as childbirth was something that normally took place at home. In the 15th and 16th century midwifes were thought of as “the early companions of the devil” (The Witchammer, 1487). These women had not been compliant with the Frankfurt Midwifery Code which had been established by the Catholic Church and had been in effect for over 130 years. As a consequence of this, these individuals were burned alive. Midwifery became established in the early 18th and 19th century in Europe. They were trained to be both nurses as well as midwifes. In the absence of a physician, during the first 250 years midwifes were at the front end of the birthing process. Immigrant women who had learned the trade in their country of origin had learned the trade and passed their learning’s and skills to midwife of a younger generation. Thus there were two types of midwifes that developed in the US. One was a Nurse-midwife which are trained in nursing and midwifery as well as Direct Entry Midwives which would not be nurses...

... 03/02/2015 Health Care Museum As we begin to open the 1st ever the University of Phoenix Museum of Health Care, I would like to propose some tributes that helped shape the health care industry. First, I would like to start with penicillin; on how it has changed the way we use and viewed medicine. Second, I would like to use military combat and its part into healthcare. Third, nurses; their work ethic alone has shaped the hospital environment. Fourth, medical imaging, that technology alone has moved health care to what is now modern day. Lastly, insurance and how it has changed over the past century. Penicillin, known to be founded by Alexander Fleming around 1929. His findings where that of a significant proportion. Penicillin became a firm foundation for medicine after WWI, being that it was able to heal just about every bacterial disease that we have encountered thus far. Not only has penicillin became the leading foundation for further antibiotics but it also led to more research into the world of medicine. Penicillin itself has saved roughly 200 million people in its course of finding. That my friends, you can say a reason it is a huge tribute to modern day health care. It also had an impact on the military portion of health care and how it helped shaped the way combat doctors and surgeons were able to perform the procedures necessary to save the lives of those who gave theirs. Now, probably thinking, "how did military combat change health care?" I would say this...

The fatality rate was 60% in adults, and 80-98% in infants. (Baylor University, 2005). Edward Jennings found a solution for a smallpox vaccination in 1796.

...Health care has always been a growing industry from discovering new illnesses and new vaccines. I will create a Health Care Hall of Fame Museum. In this museum I will have five exhibits that have changed health care, which include: the discovery of germs, vaccines, surgery, childbirth, and Medicare. I will give a brief description of each exhibit and their role in health care. Germs Louis Pasteur, born in Dole, a small town in eastern France had an interest in scientific subjects. In 1847, he received his doctoral degree. Pasteur believed that if germs were the cause of fermentation they could also be the cause of contagious diseases. He began to develop the Germ Theory of Disease, and eventually, developed vaccinations. In 1881, Pasteur successfully developed and introduced to the public his anthrax vaccine. In 1855, He launched one of his most famous developments – a vaccine against rabies. Soon after the vaccines were tested and were successful, the Pasteur Institute was built in Paris to treat victims with rabies and other diseases. Vaccines Vaccines in the United States, Edward Jenner created the world’s first vaccine for smallpox. Edward Jenner, worked in a rural society most of his patients were farmers or worked on farms. In 1796 he created the world’s first vaccine for smallpox. In the 18th century smallpox as one of the most deadliest and persistent human diseases. The main treatment developed by Jan Ingenhaus, involved scratching the vein of a healthy person...

Exhibit 1 – The Creation of the first Nation hospital was founded in 1751 located in Pennsylvania and it was created by Dr. Thomas Bond and Benjamin Franklin. Philadelphia was the fastest growing city in the states. This city’s population grew to 15,000 by 1750 making that an additional 3,500 more people added to the city. This city eventually grew to become the second largest English speaking city in the British Empire.

...Windshield Survey for Zip Code 77004 Eugene Harris NUR/405 Healthy Communities: Theory And Practice November 28th, 2011 Beth Meadows Community health nursing has become a focal point in healthcare since the 1960s-70s when the civil right movement shifted the goal from a charitable concept to a political commitment in order to rectify racial injustices of the past (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2008). Many programs came about with the goal of addressing inequalities in the delivery of healthcare based upon social-economical status. Nurse practitioners then became an important factor in the delivery of healthcare, thereby affecting services offered in community health clinics which improved local accessibility to healthcare. (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2008). Many dynamic changes occurred since then with nurses making important contributions in disease prevention and health promotion in the community which countered the escalating costs of acute hospital care. The definition of a community, in simplicity, is a group of people who live in the same area, or the area in which they live. Unfortunately, this definition does not completely explain what a community is. A community would be individuals who share the same space and interact with each other either directly or indirectly via mechanisms or environment. A community is more than a cluster of individuals, it also will be constructed of families and aggregates (persons with many commonalities) that are interdependent or whose...
