Question

n the article, “Options for Slowing the Growth of Health Care Costs,” the authors mentioned that health care costs may be concentrated in the period just before the patient’s death, thus suggesting that our health system uses excessive resources to extend the life of dying patients. In your response post, include the following: What are options for decreasing costs without compromising the care of dying patients and their families? What are some potential barriers to implementing these options?

Answer 1

The point is very clear that everybody needs health care as a necessity, but due to arise of New Chronic diseases and Pandemics even Health care cost is increasing day-by-day as there is a huge investment in equipment and staff and training costs also.

There are few options in my opinion to reduce the Health Care Costs without compromising the care of dying patients:

• As we are well aware of the current situation of the world whats going on around us, gone those days to spend time and money for treatment for small problems, lets make it simple instead of spending much time in administration it is more important to spend time with patient to give him strength.Showing love and care cost nothing.
• Most of the people die because of panic that they are going to die, so create an environment in the hospital that there are people who are there to take care and it reduces using costly equipment mostly.
• And yes ofcourse there are some situation where we will try to save patient without thinking about cost yes it is important.We cannot avoid this cost.
• But we can avoid some costs like trainingfor new people, like instead of recruiting more nurses provide good facilities to the nurses who is working already, let them work smart than hard.Iam sure if they are happy they can give blood and soul.
• Another better option is providing as much as care to the patients who are in serious conditions, train the staff to manage those situations.
