In Poland, a nurse has more duties and responsibilities than a nurse in NYC, yet is paid considerably less, even taking into account the currency conversion and the value of the z_oty and dollar in their respective countries. This Open World program will provide Polish hospital administrators and nursing staff the opportunity to meet with their American counterparts and see how the United States medical system works, both federally and locally. They will visit healthcare facilities to see how they work day-to-day. For example, what kind of operations certain hospitals perform in-house and what do they need or choose to outsource. They will learn how and from where hospitals receive funding, and what they do if there is a lack of funds. Along with how hospitals work with insurance companies, and how to ensure a patient is insured and can pay; what kind of government programs exist to support patients on the federal, state, and local levels. They will discuss how payment to hospital staff is determined and what kind of qualifications are required to fulfill certain roles and positions.
