Ungasikhetha kanjani isibhedlela esihle kakhulu sokuhlinzwa

Ikhwalithi yokunakekelwa kwezempilo oyitholayo incike ezintweni eziningi ngaphandle kwekhono likadokotela wakho ohlinzayo. Abahlinzeki abaningi bezokunakekelwa kwempilo esibhedlela bazobandakanyeka ngqo ekunakekelweni kwakho ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa, phakathi nangemva kokuhlinzwa.

Umsebenzi wabo bonke abasebenzi basesibhedlela uthinta ukusebenza kahle kwesibhedlela. Lokhu kuthinta ukuphepha kwakho kanye nekhwalithi yokunakekelwa ozokuthola lapho.

UKUKHETHA ISIBHEDLELA ESINGCONO KAKHULU SOKUHLOLA

Isibhedlela singanikela ngezinto eziningi ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yokunakekelwa okutholayo. Isibonelo, thola ukuthi isibhedlela sakho sine:

• Iphansi noma iyunithi eyenza kuphela uhlobo lokuhlinzwa onalo. (Isibonelo, ngokuhlinzwa okufakwa esikhundleni se-hip, ingabe banephansi noma iyunithi esetshenziselwa kuphela ukuhlinza okuhlanganisa ngokuhlanganyela?)
• Amakamelo okuhlinza asetshenziselwa kuphela uhlobo lwakho lokuhlinzwa.
• Imihlahlandlela ethile ukuze wonke umuntu onohlobo lwakho lokuhlinzwa athole uhlobo lokunakekelwa aludingayo.
• Banele abahlengikazi.

Kungasiza futhi ukwazi ukuthi mingaki imijovo efana neyakho eye yenziwa esibhedlela osikhethile noma ocabanga ngokuhlinzwa kwakho. Abantu abahlinzwa ezibhedlela ezenza uhlobo olufanayo lwenqubo bavame ukwenza kangcono.

Uma uhlinzwa okubandakanya amasu amasha, thola ukuthi zingaki zalezi zinqubo isibhedlela sakho esesivele sizenzile.

IZILINGANISO ZEKHwalithi EPHAKEME

Izibhedlela ziyacelwa ukuba zibike imicimbi ebizwa "ngezinyathelo zekhwalithi." Lezi zinyathelo yimibiko yezinto ezahlukahlukene ezithinta ukunakekelwa kweziguli. Ezinye izinyathelo zekhwalithi ezijwayelekile zifaka:

• Ukulimala kweziguli, njengokuwa
• Iziguli ezithola umuthi ongafanele noma isilinganiso esingalungile somuthi
• Izinkinga, njengokutheleleka, amahlule egazi, nezilonda zengcindezi (izilonda zombhede)
• Amanani okufundwa nokufa (okufa)

Izibhedlela zithola izikolo ngekhwalithi yazo. Lezi zilinganiso zingakunika umbono wokuthi isibhedlela sakho siqhathaniswa kanjani nezinye izibhedlela.

Thola ukuthi ngabe isibhedlela sakho sigunyazwe yini yi-The Joint Commission (inhlangano engenzi nzuzo efuna ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi nokuphepha kokunakekelwa kwezempilo).

Futhi bona ukuthi isibhedlela sakho silinganiswe kakhulu yini yizikhungo zombuso noma umthengi noma amanye amaqembu. Ezinye izindawo zokubheka izilinganiso zesibhedlela yilezi:

• Imibiko yoMbuso - ezinye izifunda zidinga ukuthi izibhedlela zibike imininingwane ethile kuzo, kanti ezinye zishicilela imibiko eqhathanisa izibhedlela kuhulumeni.
• Amaqembu angenzi nzuzo kwezinye izindawo noma ezifundazweni asebenza namabhizinisi, odokotela nezibhedlela ukuqoqa imininingwane mayelana nekhwalithi. Ungabheka lolu lwazi online.
• Uhulumeni uqoqa futhi abike imininingwane ngezibhedlela. Lolu lwazi ungaluthola ku-inthanethi ku www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html. Ungathola futhi imininingwane mayelana nokukhetha udokotela ohamba phambili online.
• Inkampani yakho yomshuwalense wezempilo ingalinganisa futhi iqhathanise ukuthi izibhedlela ezahlukahlukene zisebenza kanjani ngokuhlinzwa okwenzayo. Buza inkampani yakho yomshuwalense ukuthi iyakwenza yini lokhu kukalwa.
