: : : O.K. It is time to move on to the next question. The model of practice was part of our assignment today. I had a chance to read your areas. My question is this. Do you see one model of practice becoming common place in our health care and another losing prominence? If so, what are your reasons for this happening.
: : I've seen and heard a lot about the differences in in-patient stays for procedures and surgeries vs. same day surgery procedures. I think this had made a lot of difference in $, but I'm not so sure I'd like to bring a family member home and be responsible for them the 1st night of their recuperation period.
: Marilyn, do you believe that Hospital Practice Model is on the decrease or changing to a more critical patient load.
Not quite sure if I understand you question accurately but I think the hospital practice is on the decline, but the patients in are much more critical in nature requiring more extensive, sensitive care due to quickly changing conditions.
