The major issues when devising health care costs is the quality of health care, make health care accessible to more people, and ensure that the health providers receive benefits from their professional commitment. The logistics, in this case, is how to coordinate the different players in the health care system. These players include health care providers, insurance, and the government. Thus, health care providers have to develop mechanisms that ensure that they provide an affordable health care program that is cost-effective. The main approach that health care providers should ensure that they develop internal control systems that minimize costs (Hussey & Kennedy, 2016). For instance, they can hire young nurses who require lower wage rates in order to reduce the overall labor costs that are inadvertently passed over to the patients (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). In addition, to ensure that they minimize costs for the citizens they can minimize repetitive procedures that end up incurring unnecessary costs on the patients. Further, the adaption of technology can help in the data management of the population to provide health-related services and to provide preventive mechanisms to ailments. The health insurance providers, on the other hand, have to be involved in the development of healthcare policies such as Medicaid and other policies that have been developed in the past. The development of these policies should be geared to improve the medical welfare of the citizens rather than the capitalistic approach of profit maximization. This concept should accommodate as many as all to ensure that every working-class individual has access to the health care covers (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). The significance of health care covers is to ensure that health care programs are affordable to a large population. In additi.

Affordable Health Care Costs

2. One of the most pressing issues in health care is how to develop
policies that make the cost of health care affordable to the
citizens. The major issues when devising health care costs is the
quality of health care, make health care accessible to more
people, and ensure that the health providers receive benefits
from their professional commitment. The logistics, in this case,
is how to coordinate the different players in the health care
system. These players include health care providers, insurance,
and the government. Thus, health care providers have to
develop mechanisms that ensure that they provide an affordable
health care program that is cost-effective. The main approach
that health care providers should ensure that they develop
internal control systems that minimize costs (Hussey &
Kennedy, 2016). For instance, they can hire young nurses who
require lower wage rates in order to reduce the overall labor
costs that are inadvertently passed over to the patients (Cherry
& Jacob, 2016). In addition, to ensure that they minimize costs
for the citizens they can minimize repetitive procedures that end
up incurring unnecessary costs on the patients. Further, the
adaption of technology can help in the data management of the
population to provide health-related services and to provide
preventive mechanisms to ailments.
The health insurance providers, on the other hand, have to be
involved in the development of healthcare policies such as
Medicaid and other policies that have been developed in the
past. The development of these policies should be geared to
improve the medical welfare of the citizens rather than the
capitalistic approach of profit maximization. This concept
should accommodate as many as all to ensure that every
working-class individual has access to the health care covers
(Cherry & Jacob, 2016). The significance of health care covers
is to ensure that health care programs are affordable to a large
population. In addition, it is aimed to minimize the immediate
cost burden that the patients may find too huge to settle within a
given time period.

3. The government acting as the health care regulator should
ensure that health care products are available, as well as a
sufficient health care workforce. To facilitate this, the
government has to increase its health care spending and
financing. To help the nursing informatics to develop new
solutions and to be effective in health care delivery, the
government can train the different health workers in nursing and
health care fields at subsidized costs (Berg & Dickow, 2014).
Further, it can subsidize the costs of health care products such
as medicine to ensure that they are available.
In conclusion, the health care system can achieve affordable
health care to all citizens by using a multi-faceted approach that
includes all partners. Also, the issue of cost minimization while
optimizing on results is key to achieving the desired ends of
economics and strategy in health care. The significance of
dealing with affordable health care in nursing informatics is to
ensure that citizens have access to quality health care.
