Administering health care with all the new rules and regulations in place it may be difficult overcome all the obstacles. They have expanded these barriers so that patients are treated cost efficiently and correctly.
The four barriers that are involved in healthcare are Financial Technical Organizational/Behavioral and Privacy and Security.
One of the most challenging barriers is the technical aspect. With the now use of EHR systems administrators are having to adapt to using these software’s. There are a few available but each one has its pro’s and con’s. Some may have a higher expense and some may be more difficult to implement and use. You also have to train the staff to use it correctly.
The next area of concern would be privacy and security. As much as software developers can encrypt and have firewalls other programs can decipher and overcome firewalls just as easily. The hacking industry has definitely gotten much worse over the years. Hackers have learned and taught others this deceitful practice. I have seen many news stories of hackers gaining access to some of the largest companies.
Organizational and Behavioral would entail how the physician interacts with the patient with the use of a HER system. It has become more impersonal and difficult to decipher whether the physician is listening to the patient’s concerns. To overcome this difficulty they should outfit rooms where the physicians is interacting with the patient and can document on the chart at a later time. They need to ensure they are obtaining the information that is needed.
The financial stability of a practice can start with its challenges. To overcome this impediment they should make sure they have the financial resources they need to keep the business running. From obtaining a loan from a bank investors or their own monetary stake they should have that in place prior to making any financial decisions to start continue or expand a business. With the use of EHR they should have a budget in place to allow for this.
Staffing would be a barrier that every health care facility would encounter. From hospitals to smaller healthcare facilities. The management would decide what type of skills and knowledge that staff needs to have prior to hiring. Away to surmount this challenge is to ask for references and contact other well known medical practices in the area. (Wager Lee & Glaser (2013) Pages 164-167)
