The notion of the BayCare Medical Group proposing to acqiure new nad modern surgical equipment concept offering a unique service to a specific community in need. The complimentary surgical operation will be of great importance to the community as it has been suffering for long without achiveable services from the available health facilities in the region. According to the last census data, the incidence rate for newly diagnosed patients who neeed surgical operation in the Tampa area and the central Florida has been increasing in the recent yaers. These statistics was collected from all the health facilities which are in the region and areas around it(“National Cancer Institute,” 2017). Many of these newly diagnosed patients will need to undergo specialized surgical operation which cannot be carryied out with the equipments which we have at our facility.
Treatment schedules can be rigorous, time consuming and unsettling resulting in the reliance on outside resources. Central Florida and Tampa area is home to a large population of families struggling to make ends meet. Families generally face greater challenges in everyday life with less income and support. Demanding surgical operation schedules can further complicate the family structure resulting in an even greater need for outside assistance. In addition, the poor condition of the community in the area does not allow them to put bills for surgical operation from private hospitals. The following information was given by one of the staff member of the BayCare Medical Group. Speaching with A. Harvey who is the communication (director in August 10, 2017)
“I am the only working member in my family and I provide for all aspects of live which might need financial assistance in the family. I was not able to pay for the surgical operation for my parent who has been suffering for the last two years. Since my parent was diagnosed with a decease which needed surgical operations, I reached out to my friends but I could not make it to raise the espected amount. This was the most dificult moment in my life, and I was desperate. I had moved to different hospitals seeking help and could not get since I could not meet the cost of the operation. Today, I am happy to say that my parent is well recovering after she was operated by the BayCare Medical Group were I only paid small portion of the total of the bill and the rest was covered by the hospital through its new program which is aimed at helping the needy in the area. Am happy to be part of BayCare Medical Group as we change lives of the local community for better.”
Recently, the BayCare Medical Group staff became increasingly aware of the needs of the surgical operation patients and the community at large. We conducted a simple impromptu survey with the patients and their relatives and found that theyare not able to meet the hospital bills from other health facilities which offer the same surgical operation as they are very expensive and the relatives are poor.
Relatives who have patients who need surgical operation in the central Florida and the Tampa area in general will havethis unique opportunity of being treated with paying just small percentage of the total amount of the bill since the hospital will cater for the other part. Expanding the operation unity in the facility will help many patients who need the service and they cannot afford is due to their poor condition. This will relieve the community and relatives the burden of putting the bills fro their loved one once they need surgical operation
The patients can be in the hospital from the time they are admitted to the time when the operation will be carried out and then be released to go home with their relatives and loved ones. This will be a big help to the relatives since they may not be able to meet special meals which the patients may require during and after operation. The medical group feels that the new and modern surgical equipment will increase the number of patients who are treated by the facility and hence fill the void which has been there for a long time.
Private hospitals which offer surgical operation are very expensive and the community may not be in a position to put the bill and thus many patients will die of a medical complication which could be solved by simple operation. With the program, many patients will be able to achieve and attain medical services since the facility will only be putting the bigger percentage of the bill. The BayCare Medical Group will be the first health facility to offer such services in the region and thus it will be a great importance to the community.
The fact that the Medical group will be offering special meals for the patients who are under their care will be a good achievement in the process of healing the sick since in most cases the family may not be in aposition to facilitate the same. The program will promote whole health in the community and thus help in improving the economy of the region.
