Arbitrator Case Summary

This paper will attempt to prove Mr. Ard did NOT have the chance to survive due to the lack of supervision from his nursing staff. As well as attempt to prove that the employer is in fact responsible for the actions or non-actions of its medical staff. The medical staff during that time did not make the necessary and they did not provide the proper care that one is required in a medical setting. There was a lack of communication between the staff and patient till it was too late. For two hours the bell was being rung and no one of assistance came by. Where were the nurses? Were they off the clock, on lunch, asleep, or were they just simply not doing their duty?

The ethical committee should intervene to determine the ethical responsibilities of the medical and administrative staff. The people involved should be held accountable and give them the opportunity to communicate the patients about the medical

University Hospital is a well known hospital with a level 1 trauma treatment center for the tri-county area of a northwestern state, the hospital enjoys the fact they are known for their promising reputation among healthcare professionals and the public they serve. Jan Adams is an OR supervisor that has been working there for ten years, as a professional she makes surgeons follow protocol as required and enjoys working with trauma patients. One Friday night, which is the busiest day of the week for the trauma department; the unit was notified that a helicopter was on its way with a 42 year old man who had been in a car accident. Shortly after the patient arrived to the trauma center, the resident and other medical staff noted that he was in very bad physical conditions, needed immediate surgery or otherwise he was going to die. The issue was that the on call surgeon had to be present during the surgery and had not yet arrived, but regardless of the matter and protocol they proceeded with medically treating the patient immediately. The concern is that in doing so they violated medical procedures and put the patients safety at risk, this lead to a long list of ethical issues for example, patient well-being, impaired healthcare professional, adherence to professional codes of ethical conduct, adherence to the organization’s mission statement, ethical standards, and values statements, management’s role and responsibility, failure

In March 2015, RP overheard one of the caregivers state that one of the residents had scabies but facility never notified the families. RP stated that an order for Benadryl was made for the resident on 7/12/16 but the resident never received the medication because it was reported that the order was not signed. Staff never contact the physician to request a signed order so the resident was without the medication for 16 days. Resident's husband contacted RP on 9/9/16 and said that he had a confirmed case of scabies. On 9/10/16, RP spoke with administrator who disclosed that there has been confirmed cases of scabies. Administrator stated that due to the resident and resident's family members contracting scabies, Terminex was at the facility on 9/12/16 to treat residents room. RP also mentioned that on one occassion she visited the resident and the room "reeked" of urine and the resident's Depends was on the floor. RP stated that there is not enough staff to handle the amount of residents in the facility. RP stated that on one of her visitis, there were residents sitting in the living room for over 2 hours before anyone was able to check on

The case arises from the alleged negligence of Dr. George Paltrow the Chief of Surgery of Bright Road Health System. On November 28, 2012, Mrs. Smith, after undergoing surgery was placed in the post-surgery care unit along with four other patients. The plaintiff claims Dr. Paltrow and numerous hospital residents came in and performed routine examinations on all four of patients inside the care unit without changing gloves or washing their hands. This statement is corroborated by the account of Jennifer Brainard one of the nurses on duty during the incident. Ms. Brainard further cites that Dr. Paltrow and other residents performed a dressing change and examination on the patient that was diagnosed with staph infection first before moving on

To begin, the union displayed several arguments to persuade the arbitrator that there was no “just cause” for the suspension of Nurse Kevin. The prime issues presented by the union were as follows; grievant suffers from back pain that can often cause him difficulty lifting a patient; the suspension given to the grievant was primarily due to the hatred Supervisor Olivia Guevara Quijano had towards Union’s; the progressive disciplinary action that was provided in the collective bargaining agreement was not correctly followed; hospital did not follow contract (“an employee will not be placed in a harmful work environment”); and the grievant did not want to put his health at risk along with the patients.

On November 18, 2015 and December 2, 2015, an arbitration took place between Pennbanana Health System (PHS) – the Defendant – and three nurses who were employed there – the Plaintiff, but lost their jobs on account of insubordination. There was an outbreak of Ebola in this hospital, resulting in one of these nurses getting the disease. All three nurses refused working with another Ebola patient after the first patient had died approximately a month prior. Soon after the firing, the Board of Trustees for PHS released a statement to the press that pertained to the reasoning of the nurses’ firing. Personally, if I were an arbitrator, I would not find the Board of Trustees for Pennbanana Health System or the hospital itself liable for any

The second questionable act was that of the nurse reviewing the patients’ medication administration record. Why didn’t the nurse reviewing the medication order verify that the Lasix medication was a duplicate? Most nursing home patients have some kind of heart condition. The medication Lasix is a brand name for Furosemide which is taken to prevent fluid buildup from congestive heart failure. In this situation the duplication of the medication in the MAR is a red flag indicator for critical thinking in probing for answers. The nurse should have taken the time to stop everything including taking any incoming calls, so that she can get clarification. According to the American Nurses Association,“ A nurse’s ability to be a critical thinker and to use

The behavioral and chemical dependency hospital I worked for was 70-bed hospital employed mental health technicians, nurses, social workers and doctors. One day I received a call from one of our mental health technicians who informed me that her colleague is “having an affair” with one of our patients. According to the claim, the night shift mental health technician witnessed what seemed to be a shadow of the technician performing inappropriate sexual acts with the patient. Two of our technicians supposedly witnessed the incident during their night shift. One witness stated that our technician made a comment about being in love with the teenager. After learning of the incident, I tried to reach out to the accused to understand her side; however, I was unable to reach her because she has been calling in sick. I later learned that the patient involved was only 16 years old and our mental health technician was in her early thirties. The sixteen year old patient was released from out hospital shortly after I learned about the incident and some claimed that our mental health technician picked her up and took her in. I reached out to the technician once again to start my investigation and I was successful in setting up a meeting with her. She arrived thirty minutes before and seemed very upset when she came into the office and said “I quit” slamming her hand on my desk and

Mrs. B was a patient I treated on my last day of placement. She has a long gamma nail inserted to her femur after diagnosed with left neck of femur fracture. We had an extremely busy start in the morning. My supervisor and I both had a look on her folder and admission information before going in. We understood she is NESB. Luckily, we found a nursing student could be an interpreter. My supervisor asked her to stay because we were about to sit the patient in the chair. We went up to the patient, explained what and why we were going to do. My supervisor left the ward while I was handling the cords, leaving me with the nursing student and the patient. He did not return after 2 minutes of waiting. I attempted to ask the patient to move her legs across the bed. She moved her unoperant leg and I moved her operant leg, I paused when I noticed she started grimacing. She slide forward and her body was in a half-leaning back position.

The case that has been presented in this unit is who is responsible for the injury that the post surgical patient has suffered. In order to justify who is the party at fault, one must look at all aspect as to what lead up to the permanent damage to the patient 's left leg. “Malpractice is negligence by a professional” (Singh, 2006, pp 19). In this case, there has been proven to be negligence, but how many parties should be held responsible is the question. The standard of care can be different in each facility and it is up to the nurses to know what the quality of care should be when dealing with patients (Singh, 2006). In this case, I believe that both the night shift nurse and the day shift nurse should be held accountable for the damage done to this patient.

The Hollywood Production Studios has no duty to "begin filming a sequel in 2017" with Jamie Jumer. It is because their partnership is unsuccessful even though the film achieved critical acclaim and commercial benefit. A success of their film does not mean a success of the partnership. The production company had difficulties with working with Jumer in the 1st movie as the comedian took attitudes of uncooperativeness to the company.

the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 would apply only from the stage after reference and not before the stage of reference when options under section 89 CPC are given by the court and chosen by the parties.38 Even though section 89 CPC mandates courts to refer pending suits to any of the several ADR processes mentioned therein, there cannot be a reference to arbitration even under section 89 CPC, unless there is a mutual consent of all parties, for such reference. 39 Section 89 CPC also provides for reference of a dispute in a sub judice matter to conciliation. The statute However once the matter is referred to arbitration the matter permanently moves out of the realm of court proceedings and the suit stands disposed of at that very stage
