n February 2002, a cardiologist named Dr. Robert Emerick was hired by the Cardiac Study Center as an employee. Cardiac is a medical practice group of roughly 15 cardiologists. The center has provided care to patients in Pierce County who have heart disease since 1966. It has four offices, each one near a hospital that serves as a recommendation source for Cardiac. Dr. Robert Emerick trained in medicine in Memphis, Tennessee for around three years before getting employed at Cardiac. Two years after his employment, Emerick became a shareholder of Cardiac. When he became a shareholder, Emerick signed a shareholder employment agreement. The agreement included the covenant not to compete, which asserted a promise not to practice competitively in Pierce County or Federal Way for the duration of five years, if and when he leaves Cardiac. In August 2005, Cardiac began to get complaints about Emerick’s conduct. Several physicians actually stopped referring patients to Cardiac due to his conduct. When this became a problem, Cardiac’s Professional Conduct Committee met with Emerick to discuss the complaints. Not only did they meet once, but twice because there were more complaints after the first discussion. Even after addressing the complaints a second time, Emerick’s behavior did not change. In February 2009, the Conduct Committee suggested that the Board of Directors discipline Emerick because he did not make an effort to change. Thus, the Board fired Emerick on May 1, 2009. After
Dr. Finch should not have had his license because he broke so many rules. He had no regards for ethics and he may have been psychotic himself. He broke all five of the principles of ethics. He had no sense of care for his patients. He seemed to be working for the money not to actually help people. He never actually helped any of his patients in fact he made many situations worse. He condoned unhealthy relationships with his
Although originally written in 1983, The Managed Heart is still an up to date look at an interesting concept: combining emotional feelings with the work one does. At first glance, the notion that emotions may have an impact on one’s work environment seems almost a non-issue. However, Hochschild is not saying that; rather, Hochschild looks at the effect of emotions in the workplace, but also the interaction of those emotions with the work itself. The author’s interest in this topic began at an early age, 12, when she recounts an event in her life: her parents, part of the U.S. Foreign Service, entertained diplomats. Hochschild describes the question that came to her mind as she looked up into the smiling face of a
In mid-April 2000, Sherri Worth was faced with some very unsettling news about Pate Memorial Clinic’s future with a competitor potentially moving into the area. Worth was the assistant administrator at Pate Memorial Hospital (PMH) and was also responsible for the Pate Health Clinic (PHC). A study by the competitor was being done to see whether sufficient demand existed to establish a clinic 5 blocks north of PHC. The two biggest concerns in regards to the new competition were:
2) Uncertain organization structure: After Peterson joined Biometra, without any formal communication instead of reporting directly to Jenkins he was assigned to Jeff Hardy, vice president of planning and control for the peripheral vascular division. Hardy had no prior operating experience and was unable to offer Peterson any helpful advice or guidance. Due to lack of effective communication from the leadership, Peterson was not sure whom he would be reporting to which could mean further delays in getting approvals on his decisions.
Firstly, I would admit that Ventura is a great surgeon and his technically skills are highly recognized by all employees in cardiovascular center. Due to his hard and excellent work, the vascular department had been improved. He had contribution to the entire Mitchell Memorial Hospital. But I think his issues working with other coworkers become interference to the whole cardiovascular team. The renewal of the contract with him needs to re-considered. I would address the issues that the residents taught by him leave the program or is lack of operation experience. Some surgeons working with him could hardly con-duct operation under his control and couldn’t feel the value being in the team. There is some boundary issues with nursing staff. OR is not a place for himself to perform a surgery. If he doesn’t show respect and patient to coworkers,
In many ways, the hospital system in America is set up mirroring our government. They are similar in the way that checks and balances have been set in place to ensure the best possible care is delivered to patients. With these checks and balances there are three main bodies; the governing board, medical staff, and executive management (Showalter, 2017). The duties and responsibilities of each body many times is to oversee and continually check the others. A prime example of this system can be seen through the case of Moore v. The Board of Trustees of Carson-Tahoe Hospital, which took place in Nevada and was heard before the Supreme Court of the state in 1972 (Moore v. Board of Trustees of Carson-Tahoe Hospital, 1972). Specifically, in this case, the duty of the governing board to “exercise reasonable care in selecting and retaining medical staff” is questioned in contrast with the right of the physician to have “due process… when disciplinary action is taken” (Showalter, 2017). In hopes of changing a decision by the governing board, and attempting to reverse the decision of a lower court, the appellant, Dr. Moore, brought the case against Carson-Tahoe Hospital (Moore v. Board of Trustees of Carson-Tahoe Hospital, 1972).

The Elijah Heart Center (EHC) has started seeing and realizing that the financial burdens that are starting to increase cost of staffing, the decreasing amount of reimbursements, the gathering of loans for expansion, and the costs of continuation of upgrading equipment is starting to seriously show strains and obstacles. From my analyzations EHC has to start projecting developments of series of options to create reductions in costs and to improve a stable amount of income. These decisions can be highly influential and by addressing these problems can secure long term goals and short term goals that can be reached to make EHC a more profitable organization.

Second, he has the option of merging with a competing HMO. This option would have both a positive and negative impact. It would offer a little more flexibility for EMC to more effectively matchup to building competitive pressures in its external environment. But, it may also mean that the current organizational leadership might be forced to relinquish operational control.
The document severely lacks pertinent financial information for the three years of operation of the heart clinic. Besides some minimal information of mean revenue and expenses for 2011, the document neglects to offer any other valuable financial information for consideration. This section can be further expanded with details of an income statement, balance sheet and current statement of cash flows. Financial statements can be a healthy management tool to illustrate the success of operating performance to appropriate stakeholders and their constituents.
