The rationale reason of why I chose this city is because this is where I lived for 5 years and I

don’t really have any prior experience about the existing healthcare system in Waldorf, MD but I

do know that the healthcare personnel are excellent and extradorinary. However, I do know that

they building new facilities out here to accommodate the population that’s growing.

In conclusion, to enhance competition in the health care system and improve the health care system's affordability, the organizations should leverage much on the patient outcome since patients are the key elements in the health sector. The health institutions should revolutionize the breakthrough medicine where health care is made more affordable by people from different backgrounds. Rewarding the best results for patients can be used as one of the elements to improve patients' affordability (Engel et al., 2020). The strong relationship across the organizations will enhance the aspect of innovation and creativity. The second way the system can be restructured to meet the health care goals is by utilizing management. Ensuring the patients in the community obtain a better deal on medicine can help improve the people's health care and maintain their wellbeing.
