Question

Healthcare systems are huge, complex, and constantly changing as they respond to economic, technological, social, and historical factors. The availability of technology has a profound effect on the health care costs and the availability of medical care. Local, state and national policy makers have an impact on these systems.

Explain what you would do to encourage and increase technological advances and availability and try to decrease costs for all the stakeholders involved.

Answer 1

In current scenario, the application of technology plays a huge role in patient care. Various medical health care instruments have made it easier for the people to survive. Thus, it is necessary to increase the technological advancements in this sector. It would be easy for financially sound nations to implement these facilities in their medical sector, but the third world countries find it harder.

The developing countries should bring better health care policies in their system and import various medical technologies from developed countries. Also, the third world countries should appoint better technicians to operate these instruments.

The policy structure of implementing better drugs to these patients should be adopted by the government, otherwise it will be harder to get along with the latest medial technology. Also, effort should be taken to encourage and invest on domestic drug manufacturers and medical technicians, so that they need not depend on external manufacturers.
