As a
medical and health information manager
, you will use online databases to compare physicians, long-term care providers, and insurance companies. Using these databases gives you insight into health care data and analytics, health insurance companies, private and government payers, providers, and patients to make choices about which providers are selected and paid based on quality, satisfaction, and cost data. Watch “
Forecasting in Healthcare
” to gain real-
world insight about communicating in the health care field.
After you watch the video, follow these steps:
1.
Access the
Care Compare
tool on the Medicare.gov website.
2.
Select the hospital provider feature and choose 3 hospitals you are interested in comparing. For example, you might choose to compare your local hospitals or an academic medical center, a rural hospital, and sole community provider to see how they compare. Or you could choose hospitals in different parts of the country for a regional comparison.
3.
Follow the website’s instructions to compare your 3 chosen hospitals and review the results.
4.
Expand the results categories, such as patient survey rating, timely and effective care, and
complications and deaths, and to review the data for each hospital.
Use your takeaways to answer the following questions:
What are the names and locations of the 3 hospitals you selected and why did you choose
them?
What observations do you have about the patient experience survey data and patient ratings for the hospitals you selected?
Would you decide to use a hospital based on this data? Why or why not? What other information might you want to know? What difficulty would the average patient have in using this data?
.
my top three hospitals I will choose University Medical Center, Summerlin Hospital and sunrise Hospital.
University medical center here in Nevada is very no for a trauma center and they have so much different experience when it comes to dealing with that I had a twin sister who went there who went septic and end up Losing her limbs due to the fact that they save her life. But when I say they took good care of her they really did she got a mechanical hand they pay for her to go to Ohio State University to help her learn how to use her hand. their score is only 4 1/2‘s stars but I wouldn’t say they were bad I think it all depends on what you go in there for it’s a lot of trauma and a lot of homeless people that go there so I can see why people will rank it the way it does.
Summerlin hospital is in a better area they have good care when it comes to the gynecology area they are known for their NICU. My granddaughter was born at 30 weeks and was in the hospital for a month and two weeks but they kept so much comfortable in us as well that she strive she is four months now and she’s doing amazing the care that they took of her was phenomenal around the clock here the nurses knew every single thing about Dakota. They are ranked 3 1/2 out of five but again Vegas is really not known for their care or people always compare them to other places.
sunrise hospital it’s known for their pediatric area they are rank low also but again, We have so many people who come out here from different states even different countries that there are not used to the care that they are giving there but the pediatric unit is the best here in Las Vegas.
where I live in the state of Nevada we are really not known for a medical we are ranked really low in the nation, maybe because I’ve been here all my life and I have traveled other places I
have seen better hospitals and better care I just feel like a lot of people don’t want to work here we don’t have a lot of doctors just because this is a gambling city and all people think we do here
is just party and that’s not true. Hopefully one day they be I’ll be rank a little bit higher than what they are.
