They discuss the negative effects of the current healthcare system, including fragmentation and inequity, and propose solutions such as moving healthcare to outpatient sites and using technology such as large language models and wearables to improve patient care. They also discuss the importance of addressing social determinants of health and reducing healthcare inequalities. Klasko and Terry offer a novel proposal for reforming healthcare financing and delivery without adopting Medicare for all, and they emphasize the importance of doctors having a stake in the healthcare system and address the mistrust that currently exists.","PeriodicalId":397377,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Administration Leadership & Management Journal","volume":"18 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141709543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies indicate minimal differences in patient outcomes between the use of normal saline and tap water in wound care and surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential cost implications for hospitals when shifting from sterile water and saline to in-house distilled water for wound care and surgical procedures. We analyzed a two-facility hospital network, assessing current sterile water and saline solution usage and expenses and compared it with the cost of implementing an in-house water distillation system. In 2022, the hospital network spent $305,180.78 on sterile water and saline solution bottles. By replacing the current expenditure on sterile water and saline solution bottles for irrigation with a water distillation plant at the hospital network, the estimated annual cost of the new system is projected to be significantly lower, at $83,298.87. This results in substantial total savings of $221,881.91 annually, amounting to $361.37 per bed per year, while also considering the additional benefit of reducing plastic disposal costs. Extrapolating the in-house distillery cost savings to all 919,649 staffed hospital beds in the United States could potentially save approximately $565 million annually. Over a decade, this could reach up to $5.65 billion, if all hospitals adopt similar self-hosted water distillation systems.","PeriodicalId":397377,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Administration Leadership & Management Journal","volume":"2016 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141707148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It describes what a succession plan is, why it matters, and why it is a challenging task. It also offers healthcare leaders, administrators, and managers 25 practical and effective succession planning strategies and explores the top reasons that succession plans fail.
