...What would make Mayo Clinic one of the most recognized hospitals in the nation? We will discuss the many reasons and what it takes to be so well recognized and the many benefits that Mayo Clinic has to offer. “The Mayo Clinic has not only been recognized by numerous agencies for its quality in health care, but it has been recognized more so than any other academic medical center in the nation.” (Kroker, 2013) In 2012, Mayo earned the No. 3 overall spot on the “best hospitals” list and ranked No. 1 in the nation in five areas- gynecology, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, and pulmonology. History of Mayo Clinic William Worrall Mayo, who settled in Rochester, Minn. in 1863, is the founding father of what is now called the Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic was developed gradually from Dr. Mayo’s medical practice. His dedication became a family tradition and his two sons, Will and Charles joined his practice in 1883 and 1888. Later as they succeeded with their “pooled” knowledge and skills, patients discovered this advantage. They had developed a reputation for excellence in patient care. Doctors and students came from around the world to learn new techniques from the Mayo’s. Patients also came from around the world for treatment. Since 1919, the Mayo Clinic has spread largely to two additional cities including Jacksonville Fl., and Phoenix Arizona. The main campus in Rochester employs over 32,000 people. In addition, the Mayo Clinic operates multiple...

..... Mayo clinic MAYO CLINIC The Mayo Clinic was founded over 150 years ago. It has been a pioneer for group practice creation, community service, quality improvement initiatives, health informatics, and health care technology. Group Practice Creation Impacts Mayo Clinic's Growth Dr. William J. Mayo justified the concept of a group practice in a speech he delivered in 1910. He took the view that it would be foolish for a single practitioner to assume he or she had sufficient knowledge of medicine. He maintained that it is in the best interest of the patient to have practitioners join forces and coordinate care (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research [MFMER], n.d.-a.) Patients realized the benefits of a team of medical experts, so patients travelled long distances for diagnosis and treatment. The Mayo Clinic website states that the "group practice concept that the Mayo family originated has influenced the structure and function of medical practice throughout the world" (MFMER, n.d.-b). According to the website, the Mayo Clinic has grown from three physicians (father and two sons) to over 55,000 staff at locations in the Midwest, Arizona, and Florida. The Mayo Clinic is most famous for its implementation of an "integrated, multi-specialty, group practice" (MFMER, n.d.-c). Mayo Clinic Community Service Reflects Mission and Values According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (n.d.), Mayo Clinic's mission is to "provide the best care...

... What Makes The Mayo Clinic a Top 100 Hospital? To become one of the best hospitals in the United States the facility needs to be more than just an Emergency Department. Yet, to be claimed as the number one hospital in the whole US is astounding (Leonard 2014). These great hospital facilities also offer more than just a delivery and nursery ward. The great hospitals, such as the Mayo Clinic, offer a full array of medical services and medical specialists and they do all of this while giving exceptional customer service that move them from the ordinary category, to the extraordinary category. The Mayo Clinic’s History The Mayo Clinic is a non-profit hospital and medical group that was started by just one medical doctor back in 1864, Dr. William Mayo (Lanier 2014). In the 1880’s his two sons William Jr. and Charles joined their fathers Minnesota practice. Now, it has three major working campuses, among many smaller healthcare facilities that they have, and that employ more than 4000 full-time medical providers, along with more than 50,000 support staff (Colón-Otero 583). They also do global support groups, scientific, clinical, and educational outreach. The Mayo Clinic’s Mission and Values The Mayo Clinic’s mission is to, “To inspire hope and contribute to health...

...Mayo Clinic Addie Long Columbia Southern University Mayo Clinic The magical Mayo Clinic has what every hospital is looking for; exceptional patient care, top of the industry research, and an impeccable budget. Mayo Clinic is considered a leader in cancer, heart disease, respiratory disorders, and urology in research as well as patient care. It is a rarity that a hospital is ranked at the top of the U.S. ratings in so many specialties. According to Kotler and Keller, “The clinic’s two interrelated core values trace back to its founders and are at the heart of the all the organization does: placing the patient’s interests above all others and practicing teamwork” (2012). Mayo Clinic is so good at customer service because the doctors and staff are all working towards a common goal, the ultimate best care for the patients, instead of worrying about their counter parts making more money and gaining more fame. One of the biggest differences between Mayo Clinic and other hospitals, private and not-for-profit, is that the patients state the “feeling” of accommodation and caring is felt the minute the patient begins speaking with anyone that is employed by the Clinic from volunteers, housekeeping, to the highest ranked physicians. The Mayo Clinic concentrates on teamwork between their doctors. All the doctors at the Mayo Clinic are salaried employees instead of getting paid for how many patients they treat, or how many exam referrals they create. This concept makes patient...

...Sharlene Wilder Get more familiar with your opposition I’ve grown up in the Bronx where there’s multiple personalities and certain cultures that I've gotten use to. The way a person dresses or just by the way he or she looks are so typical in my community because kids take trends to the next level and use the trends to define them as a person; so in my community I do not see unfamiliar too often. When I do I get overjoyed and want to learn a lot more about them and how he or she is, just because It excites me that they are different people out in the world and they have different unique styles of living. Where I come from, there is a lot of Hispanic faces, or African American faces. The group that I found interest in is the African culture. This group I found was so different and yet unique. As I was walking in the hallway on my way to grab a bite to eat, I saw a group of females. Two females were dressed in a colorful fabric down to their ankles, one with a scarf over her head, and another with a hat to match her silk beige dress. Another female with puffy hair, with a accent with high platform shoes. They were talking with a accent I didn't know nor could speak. Rare but yet very interesting. I had a talk with one of them and she’s such a sweetheart. I thought she was just a Hispanic young lady; little did I know she was African also. Sarah came from a small town in Ethiopia. It’s the same but has its differences. Back at home for Sarah she has to come...

...The capital investment plan for the Mayo Clinic is an ongoing process to improve the health care and offer new equipment to help patients. The Mayo Clinic has been in business for several years and continues to not only help its patients but also the community in which is resides. Because of the revenue the hospital has brought to the area, it feels it is time to give back to the community in which is resides, which is a great investment plan for the residents. The Mayo Clinic, which is a hospital that focuses on the needs of very rare diseases and other ailments, recently spent $3.5 billion on capital projects in 2012 in hopes of increasing the number of jobs within the community in the years ahead (Newmarker, 2012, N.P.). “Jeff Bolton, the Mayo Clinic’s chief financial officer, said 60 percent of the capital spending will go toward replacing and renewing facilities, equipment and information technology” (Newmarker, 2012, N.P.). With this in mind it is also time to update some equipment within the facility as well. The new MRI screening center will open opportunities for employment as well as new and up to date treatment for patients. The objectives for the first year of operation upon completion will be: Increase the number of patients by providing services that Mayo has not been able to before Hire twenty new employees that specialize in MRI technology as well as billing and collection specialists Collections of at least 90% Average of 1200 to 1500 patients...

...on Group Culture at the Mayo Clinic (Author’s name) (Class) (Date) (Course and Section number) (Instructor's Name) Introduction A company’s group culture can be one of its greatest assets or liability. A company’s group culture can be defined as its system of shared values, assumptions and beliefs that detail to its people the desired or least desired behavior. These values strongly influence both the employees’ behavior and overall organizational performance. Barney (2001) argued that firms with a rare (hard-to-imitate) group culture possess a competitive edge over their competitors. Bain & Company (2007) conducted a worldwide business leaders’ survey where they established that corporate culture was equally important alongside corporate strategy for business success. It is thus least surprising that most leaders of successful business enterprises quickly attribute their firm’s success to a sound group culture. Conventionally, a group’s culture is usually modeled by four elements: the intellectual reason (purpose) for togetherness; the emotional attraction which connects people’s hearts to a common task; the artifacts created, common knowledge acquired and practices developed together by members; and, the deeply rooted spiritual intention/ connection unifying the group. A perfect example of one such enterprise with an exemplary group culture is the globally renowned Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic’s Enduring Corporate Culture The Mayo Clinic’s culture is deeply...

...article, drugs were clearly involved in Chris Benoit's double-murder suicide. (Sutton, 2007) What Benoit did was a little bit too graphic for me to explain here and I would rather not go too far into detail. I would personally say that I had seen many physical reactions to drugs. I can only recall as a young boy, aged 6/7, where a boy went out of control and had to get 5 adults to drag him into a time-out room. I asked my teacher at the time if he might have had one pill too many, jokingly, but it seemed confidential. I believe that any psychological reaction to these drugs would have the consumer become left with limited thinking. An article explained that most performance-enhancing drugs can lead to depression and agressiveness. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2012) Most legal consequences can result from use of these performance-enhancing drugs if people find out. Lance Armstrong was stripped out of seven Tour de France titles he once held. He also had to give back a bronze medal he won in...

...“Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. When you think it fled, it may have but transfigured into some still subtler form” (Melville 160). Herman Melville speaks on psychiatric madness. Madness, as a mental state, he says, at times is thought to cease, but when analyzed, has only altered into an indirect complexity. The same is true for various psychiatric disorders. Disorders, include, but are not limited to, Bipolar (Manic Depression), Attention-Deficit (ADHD), Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive, and Major Depression. Each condition varies in definition; however, all mental disorders are loosely described as a behavioral or mental pattern which suppresses an individual's everyday quality of life.
