Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 12, 2013

The economy appears to be in a calming trend. Some financial experts are giving the credit, at least in part, to the nation’s Health Care sector. According to the National Journal, new jobs have increasingly continued to pour out from the Health Care Industry since the recession began in 2007. The journal also mentioned of a recent study released by the American Hospital Association examining the contribution of the Nation’s hospitals in a 2011 report.

Even back in 2011, hospitals by themselves were supporting more than 10 million jobs as well as creating over 2 trillion dollars in economic activity annually. The number of jobs in hospitals as well as other areas of Health Care have and are only expected to continue to grow steadily as the number of people added to the Health Care system increases. (nationaljournal.com, 2/1/2013) While the integration of Healthcare Information Systems into the existing framework at present may seem like questionable timing, it is a vital imperative in order to incorporate as many patients.

The ageing population and the addition of the previously uninsured to the medical system is creating such a significant rise in demand for health care services that it is requiring a massive shift in the country’s resources to be allocated toward the medical field and its related industries. It is a much bigger issue that can no longer be put off as a single industry concern.

Del Johnston, Manager of Client Relations at MedZilla.com cautions, “It is important not to underestimate the impact Health Care IT can have on our Financial Sector. I think for many people this may come out of nowhere, and yet, it is really staring them in the face. It is almost as if people assume that the Health Care Industry integrated IT systems and Electronic Record Keeping back in the 90′s when many of the industries were going through their IT boom. That just wasn’t the case. The amount of redundancy and waste caused by paper systems is almost overwhelming to consider; the scheduling issues, the communication problems, the security and HIPAA problems. The good news is that we’re just seeing the beginning of the solutions that can be provided, also.”

The Affordable Care Act is only one stepping stone which addresses the continuity of care for providing a regulatory safety net across the country for an industry which has outgrown its financial roots. However, it also puts into place those technologies for information systems and electronic record keeping which would lower costs, reduce redundancies, and allow for greater oversight and access by the patients themselves, in order to reduce confusion over treatments and errors. For the physicians, the more involved a patient feels they are their treatment, the more likely they are to actually follow the prescribed treatment, which is an obvious benefit to both parties.

These technologies do take time to implement and are still coming in small steps before everyone will have complete access and feel the full benefit. However, the other side of the coin is that they require qualified personnel to implement them, as well as train the existing medical personnel in their use. The number of these HIT and new Health positions created may seem like a boon to the unemployment rate on the surface.

“Unfortunately, the wall that many employers as swelling as many job seekers are linear into is; here is this new field which has opened up and it requires two skillsets which previously did not necessarily need to go together. It’s difficult to go to an entire industry and tell them, this is not a drill; you need to know this in order to get a job now. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is that these changes, given the opportunity, will make your jobs easier, less stressful, more efficient and create more of them in the long run,” says John Burkhardt Managing Director of MedZilla.com.

Question by kat.thom90: How lengthy might it take a firm like Sprint to report to the credit Bureau?
I’m striving to build my credit, plus I got my telephone back inside June because I learn which they’ll report to the credit bureau eventually. I was only hoping it wouldn’t take forever. Does anybody learn how much longer it could take, despite the reality I’ve had a very clean payment record with them?

Answer by Fun N Sun
Cell telephone businesses never report to credit bureaus. Just except you may be delinquent usually they report.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

According to a recent survey by American Consumer Credit Counseling American consumers could use some support when it comes to sticking to a household budget. Conducted during Financial Literacy Month, the survey found 25 percent of respondents reported an increased need for further education in the areas of daily and monthly budgets, while 20 percent expressed a need for information on understanding credit and credit scores.

In a recent ACCC web poll at ConsumerCredit.com, just 8 percent reported an increased need for education on how to save for retirement or college, while only 14 percent were interested in learning more about saving in general.

These results follow a recent report by the credit bureau Equifax indicating an 11 percent decline in total consumer debt from a peak of $ 12.4 trillion in October 2008 to $ 10.9 trillion at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

What were seeing here is an increased interest and understanding of the importance of financial education, especially in the areas that consumers face the most challenges, credit and budgeting, said Steve Trumble, President and CEO of American Consumer Credit Counseling, which is based in Newton, Mass. Despite the recent numbers showing a decline in consumer debt, consumers need to continue to arm themselves with financial education and resources. As someone who has been in this industry for more than 20 years I can confirm that the single biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is education.

When it comes to actual big-ticket spending, the survey found, Americans feel they need little guidance. Only 3 percent of all those polled by ACCC said they need further education on how to make large purchases, while only 16 percent indicated an increased need for education on setting short and long term goals.

Budgeting and spending go hand in hand, Trumble said. So while consumers may feel comfortable in the decisions they make on large purchases, those decisions are certain to have an impact on their overall financial health.

The financial education poll was the latest in a series of ACCC web surveys for 2012 that focus on a variety of financial education, budgeting and planning topics. American Consumer Credit Counselings certified and experienced counselors offer a variety of financial education, counseling and debt management services to help consumers achieve long-term financial health and stability.

ACCC is a 501(c)3 organization, that provides free credit counseling, bankruptcy counseling, and housing counseling to consumers nationwide in need of financial literacy education and money management. For more information, contact ACCC:
