HB1 Health Care, Trauma Centers - BZepernick H.O.P.E. - __H__elping __O__ur __P__eople in __E__mergencies!

** Purpose ** : to establish a convenient, safe, and beneficial alternative to get local injured citizens to the emergency rooms faster and in time. By doing so it will create quality permanent jobs for local cities in each district. To substantially increase their overall economy by providing the citizens with required, quality, caring, modern healthcare services and life saving services.

** Eligibility ** : this bill applies to every legal citizen in the United States and each Individual district of Georgia. As long as you are a citizen you will not be denied healthcare or required treatment.

** Terms and Benefits ** : In 2009, 50% of all deaths in the trauma center or emergency room in Georgia resulted from patients not getting there in time. Also, percentages of deaths, though smaller, resulted from not enough faculties or updated equipment. In order to realize how many lives this is, know that 9,685,744 Americans reside in Georgia. Georgia is a rural state composed of small communities based on farming and suburbs. If they were to have an emergency or accident and require life saving or important treatment, they would have to drive hours to the nearest hospital. And Georgia’s number of emergency visits is 33% higher than the nation average! So not only do they have more people going to the emergency rooms but they have few and poor hospitals. If we could build one hospital in each of the 13 districts, complete to offer all emergency services form fractured appendages to heart attacks, we could prevent thousands of emergency room deaths every year. And if we employ experienced, educated doctors, nurses, and specialists’, as well as more quantities and quality equipment we could give Georgia a second chance.

· We will need to find an ideal and accessible location for the hospital in each district. It would be preferable to build the hospital in the center of the district so the distances will be more equal and for it to be in the more populated areas of the district. Then the hospital will be constructed. We are estimating the conclusion of the project to be completed in 1 to 2 years, depending on the weather conditions. There will be 4 floors, a floor for a waiting room and a lab, a floor for surgery and testing, a maternity floor, and an in-patient floor. The hospital will be 20,000sq.ft.

· Then the doctors will first be hired from willing participants in the district before we select employees originating from outside the district. This will ensure the revival and substantial increase in the local economies. So the citizens get quality emergency healthcare and the community still gets jobs and business. Also, by hiring more specialists’, I hope to decrease the number of mis diagnoses and increase the different types of treatment. And with more doctors and nurses hopefully we won’t leave people wait ting, disposing of the crowded waiting rooms. There will be 70 ER doctors hired, which means they’ll work in shifts of 12-24hrs and treat all injuries. There will be75 nurses to help the doctors, serve the patients, and run the secretary and lab. There will also be 5 specialists, an anesthesiologist, a cardiologist, a neurologist, an epidemiologist, and an otolaryngology. All doctors and employees will have to have completed all of medical school and have proof of completion.

· Then, when the hospital is finished and the employees are hired, we will purchase new, updated equipment. Many hospitals don’t have enough equipment or certain tools to treat patients. If we purchase necessitates like x-rays, MRI machines, lights, stretchers, beds and sanitary equipment, we can offer more care to our patients. If we can have more advanced equipment we could pin point the problem and fix it faster. And with a lab in the building, we can test things faster in the building instead of having to ship it to a lab and wait for days. Also, the hospital will have solar panels on the roof that will store energy so if the power goes out they can still function and keep the life support machines working or heart monitors. Thousands if not millions of people die each year in Georgia because of the 3 flaws in its system, Few hospitals, Few doctors and medical faculty, and little equipment. If we can fix these flaws, we could save lives. It could be your mom’s life, your friend’s, your neighbor’s, or yours. With this bill, the statistics will be cut in half, we have to do is pass this bill.

** Fiscal impact ** : The overall fiscal impact is difficult to add up because the costs of these services vary. So there is a wide range of costs, and each district will pay slightly different amounts. The amounts such as hiring and number of doctors may fluctuate due to the size and population of each district. But the total cost of the bill before it is divided by population of each district is $31million. · 70 Doctors-$7.5million- based on $90,000 salary yearly · 75 Nurses-$3 million- based on $40,000 salary yearly · 5 specialists-$ 1million- based on $200,000 salary yearly · medical equipment- $5 million · Construction-$14 million- based on $1.4 million per 6,700sq.ft. Each hospital will be 20,000sq.ft. · 3 Ambulances-$500,000 · Solar panel back-up system- $100,000 for 15 solar panels 1. none, none.
