...Medical Tourism Medical Tourism Introduction Medical tourism is the act of traveling to other countries to obtain medical, dental or cosmetic care. Medical tourism is a new term but thousands of years old act. People have been traveling across the continents in search of cures for any imaginable illnesses and making therapeutic trips for health wellness. In ancient Greece, pilgrims and patients came from all over the Mediterranean to the sanctuary of the healing god, Asklepios at Epidaurus, and from the 18th century wealthy Europeans have been traveling to spas from Germany to the Nile. In recent years, medical tourism is becoming more popular with patients seeking treatment for health and well-being purposes abroad. Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Surgical Tourism, Health Travel, Treatment Abroad, Surgeries Abroad, and Medical Outsourcing. Medical Tourism Concerns Though many are eager to be the right pieces in the puzzle, many are still struggling to get the right fit. There are a number of concerns and risk factors for patients getting treatment much less seeking them abroad. Some concerns for patients include a consistent quality of care, lack of extensive dialog between the patient and the doctor, lack of post-op follow up, cultural differences and difficulty in obtaining sufficient insurance coverage. In order to mitigate the risk, it’s essential that the patient works with well reputed facilitators. Medical Tourism Accreditation ...

...Heritage Assessment: Applying The Heritage Assessment Jake Freeman GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY: NRS - 429V 10/31/2011 Applying the heritage assessment can be useful with integration into the health care system. First impressions go along with the proper approach. If you look at it this way first impressions are important in every culture. With the plethora of cultures out there and each family shaped by these values and beliefs a good approach is always an informed one. With a little common courtesy, topped off with some minimal knowledge of ones heritage you can get started on a good foot with your patient. So many cultures are part of the United States culture that being informed is our responsibility as nurses. Incorporating a cultural competent nurse into the work force makes for an appropriate health care experience. This paper will discuss the heritage of 3 different families. Families A,B, and C and how these families practice health traditions. How their parents where brought up and how they’ve been influenced through old ways. This assessment is to create an understanding of how useful the heritage assessment is. It puts patient and practitioner on a level where both participants can feel comfortable with communication, and interaction in order to provide quality care. Family A is from Gilbert, AZ. The wife is from India. Her spouse is from Boston, MA. This family is very matriarchal and the wife’s ways of culture are strong standing...

...“The Nursing Shortage” Final Report Abstract While the nurses are disappearing from developing nations to help the shortage in the United States, it is putting a strain on health systems in the developing world. American found a simple solution to the problem of our nursing shortage and how we have turned to the global market where nurses have become a hot commodity. Even though it seems to be a natural thing to import nurses, since we import everything else. By importing nurses it saves time and money but it will cause more problems in the end. The Nursing Shortage In the United States is a situation where the demand for nurses is greater than the supply, as is currently the case in several developed nations. According to a U.S. government study, by the year 2020, there could be a nationwide shortage up to one million nurses, which could result in substandard treatment for hundreds of thousands of patients. Just as alarming, fewer nurses are choosing to teach the next generation of professionals, resulting in tens of thousand of applicants being turned away from the nation’s nursing schools. (1) Reason for Shortage The responsibilities of nurses have increased and the patients are more ill as a result. In addition the average age of nurse’s increases while the number of applications to baccalaureate programs has decreased.(2) New opportunities became available for the nursing practice, which further drains the number of nurses available for acute...

This way the two health care designs would be in similar; which makes it easier to compare the two. The other country that I decided to do was the Philippines. They have a democratic government like the U.S. In the Philippines the health care system consists of Medical Center in Alabang, the Asian Hospital, the Makati Medical Center, the Medical City in Ortigas, and St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City. Additionally, there are also doctors that have practiced medicine in the US before sharing their knowledge in the Philippines. If you are in the Philippines and you are trying to find a hospital then, that wouldn’t be very hard for you to do. They have many hospitals; whether that they be private and/ or public. This means it will be very easy for a person to get help no matter where they live and/ or what type of how much insurance they have. This can be one of the most helpful things that they have in their health care, well at least one of the best things for the people that actually have insurance.

...having potential for certain illnesses based on genetic predisposition (Scanlon & Lee, 2007)(Chesnay 2012). A vulnerable population that I would like to focus on is the island of the Philippines and its people. There are many factors that make this country and its people vulnerable. Being a third world country, the Philippines have many people that live at or below the poverty level. Many Filipino’s live in areas that are susceptible to disease, flooding, and other factors that endanger their life style. In some of these areas, or provinces, a lot of the houses are made of sheet metal, dirt, and even trash. These living conditions leave Filipino’s vulnerable to disease from the trash, water and the many animals and insects that roam around their living spaces. Demographics As of the 2012, the demographics of the Philippines contained the following statistics. The population of the Philippines is estimated to be around 103,775,002 people. The birth rate is 24.98 births per 1000 people. The infant mortality rate is 18.75 deaths per 1000 infants, with 21.21 being male and 16,18 female. Life expectancy of the people is about 72 years old. Females average a longer life expectancy at 75 years old while the males are a few years younger at approximately 69 years old. Although the Philippines is a high risk country when it comes to major infectious disease, the total population having AIDS or HIV is less...
