Introduction;
Health is an important and crucial factor for the citizens of Waldorf, Maryland about its safety and security. Maryland underlies the 18th population within the nation when it comes to the overall population of health, and it is also considered to do more than good. The population on the health improvement plan, which is presented here, gives out the concept of making improvements for the health population at Maryland. The plan will describe the first phase in the extensive or collaborative process that will be needed to be taken at Maryland to develop a multi-sectoral approach in improving the outcomes of health with the health equity of Marylanders. The foundation design of Maryland’s work towards improving the processes or the framework gives out the initial roadmap into various partners within Maryland in identifying and guiding the plans in the population of the health improvement priorities and improvements (Adam Rubenfire, 2015).
Maryland’s Transformation in the Health System;
There is more commitment than it was in the state of Maryland towards their better achievement in health, better care, and the cost that is moderate. In the agreement of Centre for Medicare or Medicaid Service with Maryland, there was the launch of the All-Payer Model towards making changes on the way there was the provision of care which was making the shift of the financial system which was based on the volume in the services towards the value-based and hospital-specific system. While Waldorf is still in the early stages of the transformation, it has been able to achieve the success towards improving their care and making the limiting of the cost for their citizens (Golshan, 2020).
The Maryland All-Player Model;
The State of Maryland signed up the agreement with the Chief Medical Service in the year 2014 in implementing the Maryland All-payer model towards limiting the total hospital care on the cost growth for each capita while making improvements for the care or the health outcomes. When Maryland implemented the hospitals budget, there was the change of the financial incentives whereby the business model showed up on the shift in the volume generation at the hospital settings towards making the encouragements on the health of the populations at the management strategies which could reduce the avoidable utilization thus improving the quality of care at the MedStar Health Centers. The MedStar Health Centers has been showing the high performance towards their population (Maryland systems, 2015).
Proposal of The Maryland Centers in Waldorf, Maryland.
Maryland hospital has shown its preparedness and working hard with their team members to be sure that everything is running well as planned. They have a plan whereby they make sure that their patients are taken care of, giving the patients good treatments in making their treatments a success. Maryland hospitals have also cared for their population. They have started new technological ways towards helping their patients get better and further enjoy or ease their services whenever they are in the health system. These are evident when there is the availability of machines from new technologies to improve their health services (Adam Rubenfire, 2015).
The health center has the introductions of the telemedicine where they can get their medicines just directly and efficiently without the help of the health officers but the machine and the patients. The health service has also engaged in serving their patients by giving them cards through the sessions that they need to meet up with their doctors to get their consultations. With this factor, it is very evident that the Maryland health center will be having a good time on how they get to serve their patients in the way that they will all be able to make the treatments, saving time and also avoiding the collusion between the patients and their doctors thus taking good care of the population (Golshan, 2020).
Maryland’s Working Design;
Maryland has put in place a unique type of working design that they have been able to enforce to make their services so much reliable and efficient for their population. For instance, they have large rooms which are spacious that help in the creation of the room. When there is the creation of rooms, it will be of advantage for both the patient and the health officers to get privacy so that they can discuss their hep since they might be having a private conversation about the patient’s health improvements. A large amount of the treatment rooms in Maryland health care are also important since it highly reduces any mode of the contagious diseases spread through the air, for example, the COVID-19 (Maryland systems, 2015).
Having enough treatment rooms is of benefits since healthcare can do the separation model, such as putting aside the people going through different types of diseases. For instance, one floor of the room will be having the people suffering from Malaria and other rooms being categorized subsequently. Through this, it will enable the health officers in having easy times whereby they will be able to access or give their medical medication to their patients easily and also know what topic they can be talking about at any particular rooms for instance, when the health officers talk to their patients about their well-being through counseling and motivating them. The health officers need to make sure that they have their workstations which they will be using and making teamwork so that they can help each other’s fix up the challenges that they are facing so that they will have the ways that they will acquire nice and effective approaches towards their patients (Adam Rubenfire, 2015). To accommodate the extra treatments rooms and everything the main building which will be newly constructed at least 55,000 square foot, three-story facility.
Conclusion.
In conclusion, when the stated approaches are kept in use with the city Waldorf, Maryland MedStar health care for their small populations, they will be able to achieve their goals of giving out the best cares for their patients or population and making them both have a good time through the maintenance of their health, just like it is said that ‘Health Comes First’ (Golshan, 2020).
