Running head: CONSUMER HEATH AND PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS
Health care system is one of the most complex systems. The health care system of US as
well as the world health is developed with different stakeholders. The most prominent
stakeholders are the patients, employers, pharmaceutical firms, doctors, nurses, physicians,
insurance companies and the government of the country (Hamilton & Yano, 2017). In the
following section the relationship of these stakeholders and the most prominent organizations in
the country and their role will be discussed.
It has been seen that these stakeholders are closely related or dependent on each other.
For example, government is responsible for developing policies and the doctors, pharmaceutical
firms, nurse and employers are needed to follow the policies for the patient improvement. On the
other hand, the patients would be provided support by the policies of the government and the
care provided by other stakeholders. Hence, it can be found that the nurses and other care
professionals are delivering the care to the patients and the patients would be dependent for the
getting the care from these stakeholders. Moreover, it can be found that the financial support is
provided by the government and the employers for the care delivery process. Thus, it can be
found that the process of the health care system development is dependent on the relationship of
these stakeholders. The above mentioned relationship among the stakeholders is natural in the
health care setting. However, there is a possibility of the development of the relationship of the
government and other stakeholders so that the health care system would be free for the patients
that are subsidized care delivery to the patients (Mass, Wooll & Carey, 2018).
There are different government organizations are present who are actively related to the
health care system of United States. Among all the organizations most effective five
organizations are National Institutes of Health (NIH), CDC, Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (Niles, 2019). These
health care organizations of USA focused on planning, policy development and the quality
management of the health care procedures of the country. Moreover, the policy development,
educating people about health, effective financial support development for the health care, health
care reformation, insurance program for the health care and other aspects are controlled and
advocated by these organizations. The quality of care is one of the most important aspects for
these organizations as well. Hence, it can be stated that these five organizations is focused on the
development and improvement of the health care facility of the United States. On the other hand,
international health care is also one of the factors for these organizations and they focus on the
effective quality management of the health care processes (Blackstone & Fuhr Jr, 2016).
It can be concluded that the health care facility of United States is controlled by these
organizations. The financial and the management factors are the primary focus of these
organizations for the improvement of the health outcome of the country population. Moreover,
all the stakeholders of the health care system identified earlier would be a factor that should be
evaluated and maintained for improvement.
