Organizations which were to manage health care plans felt that they were not protected because their customers had started to sue them and it had been noted in the market hence the ability to invest was limited. Customers of health care plans had trusted so much on the physicians who rejected the management plans and the amount of money to be paid. Those earlier providers were influencing their customers in joining more manageable plans because they were seeing that they will loose customers and profits accrued.
Monopoly funding to healthy care providers had been withdrawn so the development of well managed health care was difficult because many of the hospitals wanted a wider network of service providers. Some of the health care givers like medics were still associated with early service providers and this was a great obstacle in starting management of health care service providers (Keigher, 1994).
The goal of giving primary health care to all communities was also a hindering factor as clients wanted to get better services from their payment to these HMO’S and clearly framework on how their money was being used. Media was also a hindering factor because they had highlighted many of the cases of abandoned clients who wanted services by their providers but was not given. This made many of health care management plans to fear that they will be known and therefore incur losses or loose customers because the public will not have trust in them.
How it influenced current system Information concerning health care system is made available to the consumers through internet, journals, and mobile phones therefore they have wider information concerning the system . This increases their need to be attended by highly qualified physicians in matters regarding the health. This has let to training of specialized physicians. Changing healthy care system is due to the funding by the government which gives huge amounts of money which encourages inventions and innovations.
High costs and shortages of hospital staffs is the driving force behind the health care system evolution as there is need to offer sharing of cost health care system (Havighurst, 2002). Evolution of the healthy care system has provided space for competition through managed healthy care plans provided to those employed and this greatly affected the current healthy care system where many healthy care consumers are now getting better healthy care and this is provided by the medical insurance which gives incentives to those in the managed healthy care system.
Re-organization of health has occurred because of the feeling by health care consumers that they are given poor quality health care services has led to the advancement of the health care system in perceptions of giving better services to consumers (Keigher, 1994). In a few decades ago, health care facilities was only found in urban centers and health care evolution let to decentralization of these facilities to small cities and rural areas and this has led to best healthy care to a larger population currently living in rural areas.
Many of the hospital facilities were teaching centers and this provided more attention to the students than the patients. This has made these facilities to be changed to give medics more time to be with the patients by creating more of out patients’ services and increasing residents’ time in wards and rotations. The training of medical practitioners was limited, hence led to the increase in training of personnel which has currently reduced staff shortages and therefore better healthy care.
Regarding changing trends in technology through the past few years, this has lead to inventions of machines which can handle complicated diseases like hypertension, cancer, diabetics, most of heart and lung disease and therefore provides better health care services with increasing specialization and knowledge in medical subjects. Patients’ safety has increased greatly due to training of hospitalists instead of relying on physicians who were opposing inpatient and other units in hospitals like emergency units.
Today patients have access to many departments in the hospitals where they can be attended to hence their needs are met.
