Introduction
Today nurses play a critical role in delivery of healthcare services. According to Zander (2014)) nurse contribute in planning, decision making and development of effective and appropriate nursing policy and public health care system in all levels. Therefore a graduate nurse help in cutting cost of healthcare delivery by ensuring that minimal expenses are utilized in delivery of services. It is also important for a graduate nurse to provide effective services to patients so that cost can be reduced. In the United States, health care cost are high and mostly privatized and therefore, through efficient service delivery the cost to patients and other stakeholders are likely to reduced CITATION Koh11 \l 1033 (Kohlbrenner, Whitelaw, & Cannaday, 2011). This role is therefore, played by the graduate nurse for effective delivery of services, through helping in budgeting which can cut down the cost of operations.
There are several payment systems applied in the health care system such as Medicare and Medicaid and cash payment. In the United States, most patients used Medicare payment system and therefore, it improves the delivery of health system to patients. Though studies have indicated that it improves the delivery of health services to patients, Medicare makes the delivery of health services to patients very centralized and it becomes more expensive CITATION May17 \l 1033 (Mays, Atherly, & Zaslavsky, 2017). Since h the healthcare system in the United States, is mostly privatized and the Medicare payment system make the health care to be purely dominated by the private sectors.
The documentation of medical records can impact the healthcare service delivery. First, it ensures that errors are removed and therefore, the provision of health care service delivery becomes more efficient. It enables providers to have all the details of patients and therefore, offer proper coordination of various stakeholders involve in the provision of health services.
