How is the Healthcare Resources being allocated to Patients?

What could I add on to help with this paper?

The topic I have chosen to research is how is the healthcare industry is using more resources that will help benefit patients. I had previously been working in the healthcare industry for several years and became fond of the healthcare industry at an early age. Many things began to happen, including the covid-19 pandemic over the last couple of years. With limited resources and demand overreaches supplies, medical supplies become a problem. 

According to the article Resource Allocation in Healthcare: Implications of Model of Medicine as a Profession "A major reason for this is that the discussion has focused exclusively on the nature and status of the material resources and that the nature and role of the medical profession have been entirely ignored. Because physicians are gatekeepers to healthcare resources, their role in allocation is central from a process perspective. This article identifies 3 distinct interpretations of the nature of medicine, shows how each mandates a different method of allocation and argues that unless an appropriate model of medicine is developed that acknowledges the valid points contained in each of the 3 approaches, the allocation problem will remain unsolvable.
