This week in class we talked about how to go about doing research for our papers and presentations. One thing that I found very useful for researching is taking my topic and breaking it up and using similars words that mean the same thing. It came up with more options for me to use and also it cut down on the unnecessary website that I don't need or don't have anything to do with what I'm trying to find. I also learned that by searching an authors name could also help me find more useful information as well. Taking what I learned this week will definitely help me with getting everything I need to be resourceful. Just search is not always helpful because you get so many results and then half of them are not credible. I also learned that using academic databases also helps.Additionally, I found it helpful to confirm that writers are subject-matter experts by looking up their credentials and affiliations, to make sure the study is published in respectable, peer-reviewed publications or by respected organizations, Examining important articles' reference lists to locate more sources and follow the development of the field's knowledge.

Final Summary

Some key takeaways from class discussions and research on healthcare administration subjects are highlighted in my summaries. These realizations have greatly influenced how I navigate a career in healthcare administration, especially when it comes to research methods, comprehending how healthcare systems have changed over time, and dealing with ethical dilemmas and disparities in the field. The importance of improving research techniques is among the most practical lessons I have learned from our class discussion. In addition to increasing the amount of information available, breaking down issues into smaller portions and employing synonyms also helps to cut down on irrelevant results. Healthcare administrators can use this technique to locate relevant and reliable information for policymaking and decision-making. Other tactics that can improve the caliber of my study include using academic databases, looking up author credentials, and analyzing references to monitor the advancement of...

Important lessons about healthcare administration can be learned from the 1918 influenza pandemic, especially in the areas of public relations, resource allocation, and crisis management. During a period of restricted medical developments, such as the dearth of vaccines, antibiotics, and efficient therapies, healthcare managers faced enormous problems. This is what stood out most. The foundation for contemporary healthcare systems was laid by their capacity for adaptation, resource management, and public health initiatives. The way the epidemic highlighted the need for public health infrastructure is one particularly intriguing feature. The situation was made worse by the absence of uniformity, particularly in rural areas. This reflects the difficulties encountered during contemporary pandemics, like COVID-19, where inequalities in access to healthcare continue to be a major problem. Healthcare systems advanced as a result of the 1918 epidemic, including investments in hospitals, immun...

Some things that I found interesting this week the historical development of health insurance in the United States, particularly its shift from a mechanism for replacing wages to one for paying for medical expenses, caught my attention in particular. Rather than directly paying for medical expenses, early "sickness insurance" programs were mainly concerned with compensating employees who missed work due to illness or accident. The groundwork for contemporary health insurance was established during this transition, which was characterized by the development of the first health insurance programs, such as the partnership between Baylor University Hospital and Dallas educators. Learning how these programs developed into Blue Cross and Blue Shield and how they became well-known, particularly during the Great Depression when many Americans found it difficult to pay for healthcare out of pocket, was intriguing. This information would be extremely helpful to me as a healthcare admin...
