Institutional affiliationDate

IntroductionHistory of PPACA 2010 There are many discussions about Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) whether it is

constitutional or unconstitutional or a complicated issues.

History of PPACA 2010

Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act (PPACA) was signed into law by president

Barrack Obama in March 2010.

It brought a change in health systems.

How bundle payments are processed

Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiative links

payments for a number of services beneficiaries receive during

an episode of care.

The initiative controls organization as it enters into the payment.

The model leads to higher quality and coordinated health care at

a low cost.

How do health care facilities price their services

Medical providers are required to provide quality healthy care for any patient who

has a life threatening condition without considering the patients financial resources.

Patients are treated in Medicare without considering their ability to pay for services.

Medical providers compensate this cost by increasing prices for other patients

through collection of government subsidies.

How this service was established

This service was established as a form of medical

provision and insurance for patients who do not have

enough money for their treatment.

What benefits this has for the health care facility

Health care facility will benefit because providers will

organize around the buddle payment when they have more

cases of been rewarded.

Encourage consumers to use providers in bundled payment

arrangements.

How physicians and hospitals determine better patient services, lower costs, and increase quality of patient encounters Improving the quality of the doctor patient relationship and at the same time

decreasing the utilization of diagnostic testing, hospitalizations, prescriptions, and

referrals.

Improving healthcare provision through employing measurable skills and

behaviors.

Halo effect

Halo effect is a benefit effect of a physician or

other healthcare provider on patient during a

medical encounter without consideration of

the therapy or procedure been provided.

Spillover effect

Spillover Effect is generally a propensity of one

person's emotion to affect how other people

around them feel.

Enhances an understanding of consequences of

interventions for the purpose of improving an

access to health care.

conclusionUpon my conclusion, it is important to note that the health care provisions

has dramatically improved since 2010 after the resignation of Patient

Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) by President Barrack

Obama. This has basically promoted better patient services, lower costs,

and increase quality of patient in health care facilities. It is very crucial for

other countries to take a step like Obama in order to improve health care

provisions in each country.
