Dr. Williams is the first African American to have services on this category of staff; Charlotte’s Memorial Hospital, which is undoubtedly the Charlotte’s largest hospital.

Triple Aim is an initiative created by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). The primary goals are to improve patient experience, improve overall population health of Americans, and decrease the per capita cost of health care. These goals are a part of the care reform integrated into the nationwide strategy that was established as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Zimmer, 2015) signed into law by President Obama in 2010. The ACA contains substantial modifications to how health care is compensated, funded, and provided within the timeframe of 2010 to 2018 to achieve all of the objectives. A few of the initiatives include the expansion of Medicaid, changes to private and small business health plans, participation conditions, federal subsidies, and limitations on cost sharing.

Although there are numerous reasons as to why I wish to attend this medical institution, its emphasis on serving underserved demographic groups such as African-Americans and addressing health disparities that continuously affect the state of health in our nation were primary motivations for applying to Meharry Medical College. Following residency, I hope to practice medicine in a disadvantaged urban community, where affordable, accessible, and available healthcare options are limited. In such a community, I hope to utilize my medical education gained from Meharry for the purpose of addressing the health concerns and disparities affecting those in society who are often ignored and suffer in all

The Affordable Care Act is composed of two pieces of legislation which are referred to as the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The Affordable Care act was passed by Congress and then signed into law by President Obama on March 23rd, 2010. As a whole the Affordable Care Act has specific goals to expand coverage, hold insurance companies accountable, lower health care costs, expand choices for health care and most importantly, improve the quality of health care for all Americans.

Health care today strives to delineate their core values in the public eye with clear integrity and with intent to provide health care as stated in their mission, vision, and value statements. These statements are the daily endeavor health care organizations labor over consistently. In Miami, FL there is a state of the arts health care organization know as Jackson Health System.

Our mission statement currently at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee is through better health peace of mind this was recently changed from a lengthy one so could remember it (CITE HERE). When I first heard about our new mission statement I thought it was too simple but it does make a good point. My department lives this mission everyday by contacting members to make sure they have their preventive care such as their annual Pap smear and prostate exams up to date. Our members have told me many times when I call to do a health screening with them that preventive screenings have saved their lives. If their doctor had not ordered these tests and diagnosed their illness earlier for example cancer they would not have had all the options for care.

Before I can discuss why I am choosing to work in the health care field, health care first needs to be defined. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary health care is simply stated as, “Efforts made to maintain or restore physical, mental, or emotional well-being especially by trained and licensed professionals” (“Definition of Health Care”, 2017). In other words, it is how you are helping someone’s wellbeing in one way or another. This is precisely why I have chosen to construct my career in health care, to help others in the best way I can.

I will not let things that are trivial disrupt my happiness. To accomplish this goal I will need to not focus or try to ignore things that could potentially aggravate me. Focus on the person and not the action and just calm down and think about whatever it is in the grand scheme of life. If I can go a week with minimal worrying or annoyance I will be rewarded with less stress and a more peaceful week. The target date for working on this is going to be a month.
