Nursing Assignment2Introduction:Healthcare is one of the basic necessities of any country, and also a major investment. While theState sponsored health care in the United States, such as Medicaid, caters to one third of thepopulation, a huge chunk goes to the private healthcare systems to cater to their requirements. Itis noted that a whooping 64% of the population prefers private Medicare systems, such asVanguard or United Health care, for their health insurance and well-being (Blumenthal, 2012).Let us look at one such example of private medical care, Vanguard, to understand their policies,and strategies to serve the patients better, and also what they can do further to ensureuninterrupted care in the coming decade.Vanguard Overview:With values of life, integrity, growth and excellence, Vanguard health care aims at providingexcellent healthcare and rehabilitation services to the patients with different needs (Vanguard-about). Headquartered in Brentwoon, Tenn, Vanguard has, thus, in place several facilities allaround the country, and is heading towards digitalizing operations to make it more effective. Oneof the advantages that Vanguard offers is a centralized booking facility that can help patientsidentify a nearest center (in proximity to their home and which caters to their needs and illness)and book themselves for a long-term or short-term care.The health care services and nursing care provided by Vanguard aims at giving patient careoutside hospital. Since long term hospitalization may prove to be strenuous, and also monetarilytaxing, Vanguard provides out of the hospital nursing facilities, where patients can relax andrejuvenate in a stress-free environment (Vanguard health care services). The health care provider
Nursing Assignment3also offer separate services, including pain management, speech therapy, wound care, among theother facilities.Vanguard has also invested heavily in the pharmaceutical sector, and in medical equipments,making it, thus a comprehensive package for their customers. With Vanguard mutual health carefunds doing well for the past 5 years, and patients happy with the facilities provided, thehealthcare organization is well prepared for the changes that might come in the next decades.Vision for the next decade:As of now, what Vanguard is doing (with its select centers in four states) is providing excellentnursing, physician and other medical services to those who want to recuperate in peace. The useof technology to enhance their performance has definitely been a plus point in their favor.Another major advantage is the glowing accolades that the patients and past customers seem toprovide (Vanguard healthcare Services) regarding their employees and facilities. With theavailability of all instruments, and medical supplies as well as experts on hand, and the freedomto pick a center nearer to home, it can still make quite a difference in the coming decade.With lesser time for the young generation, and no proper care at home for the elders, the servicesoffered by Vanguard facilities may prove to be highly useful.Also is the fact that today, health care is moving towards sustainable management practices toalter the habits and inculcate good nutrition among the masses. One of the examples is ofVanguard hosting farmers and engaging doctors to promote healthy food practices (Rich, 2017).With the sustainable food practices (by avoiding sugary and sweetened drinks, and serving goodfood in the cafeteria – after all, good practices begins at home), the Vanguard health care seemsto be heading towards a promising start for a healthy decade.
