Hampton Va Medical Center Case Study

FAMILY – A Family is my learning center for life and our shelter in times of storms and problems.

Thursday morning was one more day that I experienced nursing in a different setting as a LPN. I was extremely excited to get to the VA with everything in place this time. I knew I would get to do something new! I was picked to go work with DR. Frank Gyimesi and his nurse, Helen, who is a LPN. It has been 4 years since I have worked in women’s health. After going under Helen’s wing and getting educated on the VA, who is eligible, and getting an education on the use of their eligibility, is unbelievable. Women veterans health care is a growing program for today’s health care system due to the number of women that enter the military compared to many years ago. Military sexual trauma is something that

Thank you for your response regards to "Rolling Meadows Community Hospital". John did not act in a fairly manner by not giving the intern the position. Even though John did confess his truly feelings it still ended up being an altercation not only for him but the hospital as well. I agree where you stated "This provide an understanding that just because one doesn’t physically touch or ask for physical contact doesn’t mean you can’t get in trouble for comment." I believe John felt like he could get away with this case just because he was the CEO of the hospital but it obviously does not matter what type of position you hold in a work environment; this should not be tolerated at any work environment.

The VA is the primary hope for veterans and where there help comes when they need it. Linda Schwartz, the head of Connecticut’s VA says the problem is probably a lot bigger than what the numbers say. “A veteran’s death often does not get reported as a suicide” (Radelat) The problem is huge and daunting to the VA. Schwartz’s VA is proud that her facilities seem to have largely missed the scandal of the VA, and the VA is offering different therapies to widen out the options for the veterans when they go to the VA.

The Orlando VA Medical Center, established in October 2006 serves over 105,000 veterans around Central Florida, including a Community Living Center, two Mental Health Rehabilitation Treatment Programs/Domiciliary in two different locations, along with three large multi-specialty Satellite Outpatient Clinics and four Community-Based Outpatient Clinics.

In the case of Shahine vs. Louisiana State University Medical Center, the plaintiff Ms. Shahine experienced right ulnar nerve damage following a right total hip arthroplasty. She filed suit against the University Medical Center and her anesthesiologist, Dr. W for medical malpractice and requested the court to infer negligence under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Dr. W was fully responsible for Ms. Shahine’s care while she was under anesthesia and Ms. Shahine obviously could not assess the true cause of injury while she was anesthetized. However, Dr. W provided evidence of non-negligence by thoroughly charting in Ms. Shahine’s medical record proper positioning and padding. Another anesthesiologist provided the court with uncontroverted

There are no other regulatory organizations above the federal government. Since Bruce Carter Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VA) is part of a federal organization, they have taken it upon themselves to adhere to the highest standards of patient care by using the resources available to them. (M. De La Cera, personal communication, January 13, 2017) The VA uses The Joint Commission which is an independent, not-for-profit organization, that accredits and certifies nearly 21,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards

The Miami VA Healthcare System serves Veterans in Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties and operates a total of 372 hospital beds (US Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, n.d.). Since the VA system is owned and run by the federal government, audit requirements in order to provide dietary and nutrition care services in the inpatient, outpatient or long term care setting are different compared to private sector hospitals. Hospitals and health care organizations get accreditation from the Joint Commission in order to meet federal requirements and get payment from Medicare and Medicaid programs (The Joint Commission, n.d.). However, since the Miami VA Healthcare System is a government organization and at a higher level is not required to do so (M. De La Cera, personal communication, January 12, 2017). Nevertheless, the Miami VA requests unannounced visits from The Joint Commission every three years to monitor and strengthen their performance excellence as well as keep their ongoing commitment to the safety and quality care of their patients (Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, 2016). Furthermore, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) conducts unannounced onsite reviews of the Community Living Center (CLC) to review processes and procedures. Inspectors from AHCA seek
