I choose the Custer Hospital scenario. After careful consideration of all the facts and possible issues that maybe encountered, my overall recommendation was for the board and Ms. Wilson was to go ahead with the planning of the three recommendations. Before I went any further with my recommendation I had to be sure that the community was in actual need for the new outpatient center. This was a huge step to take because not only did the hospital have any data on the outpatient canters already, it did not have data not the surrounding community as well. To get over this hurdle the very first thing that needed to be done was to do a theory based community assessment. This would not only figure out the surrounding populations that use the clinics but it would also help figure out what health behaviors were most relevant to the outpatient centers. Plus with the money coming …show more content…
For example, our next bullet point to address would be the establishment of the EMR. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act says that all providers either being public or private that accept Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement are to switch over to the use of EMR or face up to 1%-5% reimbursement losses (United States of America Congress, 2009). As for the last bullet I used the 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) to express that the patients that come into the ER have a right to be treated fairly and accordingly (American College of Emergency Physicians, 2016) Meaning that if the hospitals do not have physicians that are "on -call" show up in a timely matter and the patient either gets worse or dies because the on call physician was not close by, the hospital can be in fault and be in violation of the EMTALA, which has penalties up to 50,000 per incident (American College of Emergency Physicians,

The TechMed system has been accessible since 1998; Jones is beginning to plan a replacement of this systems because of the fragility of the software (Wager, 2013).
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:

Petitioner Nancy Cruzan is incompetent, having sustained severe injuries in an automobile accident, and now lies in a Missouri state hospital in what is referred to as a persistent vegetative state: generally, a condition in which a person exhibits motor reflexes but evinces no indications of significant cognitive function. The State is bearing the cost of her care. Hospital employees refused, without court approval, to honor the request of Cruzan's parents, co-petitioners here, to terminate her artificial nutrition and hydration, since that would result in death. A state trial court authorized the termination, finding that a person in Cruzan's condition has a fundamental right under

1. Using the historical data as a guide (Exhibit 6.1), construct a pro forma (forecasted) profit and loss statement for the clinic's average month for all of 2010 assuming the status quo. With no change in volume (utilization), is the clinic projected to make a profit?
The case study revolves around the issue of Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA] compliance at Graceland Memorial Hospital [GMH], a non-profit community hospital located in the midwest. Under current OSHA regulations, the hospital was required to enforce correct usage of respiratory mask and conduct respiratory fir-testing. This new update was to protect employees who had frequent contact with patients that suffered from airborne communicable diseases and to prevent its further spread. Failure to comply with OSHA regulations would result in the hospital incurring large fines. Senior hospital staff at GMH was facing hurdles implementing the law due to refusal
To verbalize the true benefit that this investment will have on our society, one must take into consideration the current state of our local hospital, Perry County Memorial. Our county has consistently struggled with the aspect of covering the entire county with a limited amount of ambulance crews. This problem arises due to financial shortages that directly inhibits our hospital and county from supporting more ambulance crews and improving our quality of care. Your generous investment will allow me to better focus on my undergraduate academic career spent at IU, which, in turn, will allot me a higher probability of moving on to medical school where I can then become a physician of cardiology. I will return to Perry County where I will consolidate
No matterwhat make sure you get to every patient each time they need you more than you think.The last key point is the risk adjustments/control variables, these are things and way you cantake to make sure everyone is safe and that no one will suffer in the long run of things. Some of thesethings would be like use a gait belt when needed, make sure signs are up if need, make sure the patienthas call light in reach, etc. With this you need to take every step possible to make sure not only theresident is safe but you are also safe.For Further StudySomethings I would like to know more about is how exactly do they determine which residentand healthcare provider are best fight with the number of hours and the number of healthcareproviders. Another thing I would like to know is if the resident is unsatisfied with their healthcareprovider how would that be handled. Some positive things about this would be if you get to know andcreate a bond with your patient then you would get more trust and more understanding from them.They want to do more for themselves but also you. Also if you have a nice well taken care of facilityword will get out and then multiple people would come and want to be taken care of you and in thefacility.ConclusionMy personal reflections on my article would be that if you have a better healthcare facility withbetter positive attitude workers you
