OVERVIEW:
“Demands for patient safety, reimbursement changes with healthcare reform, technological advances, and the changing roles of healthcare providers require that budgets be constructed as accurately as possible and for nurse managers to understand financial applications,” (Dunham-Taylor & Pinczuk, 2015).
Directions:
Research one factor contributing to rising health care costs.
1. Why is this particular factor driving up the cost of health care?
2. How will you, as a nursing leader, have the ability to impact the cost of health care delivery?
