High deductibles may create financial barriers to medical care.<sup style=\"font-size: 12px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">1<\/sup><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Patients in primary care facilities may encounter unexpectedly high costs, which reduces adherence to medical visits and delays interventions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">High deductibles are the fixed amount patients must pay from their pocket before their insurance program starts. Such deductibles in healthcare insurance increasingly burden patients with medical conditions. Patients visiting the primary care clinic sometimes need help understanding their insurance policies, which may lead to unexpected charges for diagnostic testing and treatment.<sup style=\"font-size: 12px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">2<\/sup><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Therefore, many patients, overwhelmed by high fees, stop following up, endangering their health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Cost transparency enables patients to make knowledgeable decisions regarding essential treatment. Healthcare use and cost awareness are directly linked because higher deductibles lower healthcare consumption, including tests.<sup style=\"font-size: 12px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">3<\/sup><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Due to financial concerns, patients with high deductibles are more likely to miss preventive care, diagnostic tests, and potentially lifesaving medications. Additionally, an insufficient understanding of expenses might result in medical failure to adhere to and hinder healthcare seeking, which may aggravate health conditions and pose significant threats to patient safety.<sup style=\"font-size: 12px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">4<\/sup><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Patients who do not know their deductible or meet unexpected hospital fees may delay or skip necessary treatments, resulting in poor health and higher healthcare costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Patient safety implies preventing harm and delivering timely, effective care. Without knowing the cost, individuals may forgo treatment, compromising their health.<sup style=\"font-size: 12px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">5<\/sup><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>High deductibles also delay or degrade healthcare treatments, impacting patient safety. Our primary care clinic verifies insurance and deductible information for each patient to address cost awareness and patient safety. This technique allows healthcare practitioners to have informed discussions with patients about the cost of their treatment and offer alternatives or help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of this final course assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to develop a patient safety program in order to prevent future adverse events like those that caused the issue high deductable in primary care.&nbsp; All assignments are expected to follow the Journal of the American Medical Association Manual of Style (JAMA).
