The Methodist hospital of Indiana was undergoing organizational and leadership change in 1988. Their longtime head had retired and William J. Loveday became their new CEO. He brought in a whole new management team to help him implement new ideas and create a new culture there. His new CFO was in charge of the IS department and after discovering that the department was in shambles with no real direction, he hired Walter C. Zerrener to become the Chief Information Officer. Zerrener found that the Methodist Hospital had spent about $20 million to install a state-of-the-art proprietary patient management system called TDS in 1970s but had done no upgradation after that . The IS department was solely focused on keeping the TDS

In the next stanza, the poet describes “A figure walking towards cloaked in blue/ Beeping/ Tubes/ Needles.” The poem addresses the routinely and monotonous aspect of being in the hospital for long periods of time. It is a critique of the biomedical model and how the hospital system is created where patients are tended to by multiple doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. The patients and healthcare professionals are unable to form a relationship that consists of what Kleinman describes as “empathetic witnessing” (Kleinman). Therefore, detachment between patient and health workers is developed and established, to which the patient cannot recognize or know the people assisting them. In addition, Grealy discusses this in her earliest accounts and appointments with doctors. She states that there is a layer of “condescension” and is an “endemic in the medical

After a week working in the hospital, I went on home visits with nurses, doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and a monk. The first patient lives in a shabby wooden house. A great contrast could be seen between the room that the patient lives in and the rest of the house. “The patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer with bone metastasis. The room is specially built for him by the hospital and his family. He won’t live long.” A nurse told me. On another visit, I met a man with esophagus cancer.

This paper strives to answer questions based on the case study “Emanuel Medical Center: Crisis in the Health Care Industry”. As excerpted directly from the case study, Mr. Robert Moen, Emanuel Medical Center (EMC) president and CEO, was experiencing a number of challenges in 2002. The medical center faced numerous challenges in its external and internal environment. First, EMC garnered an onslaught of negative attention for the “Haley Eckman incident” in which a young man, who happened to be a gang member, died within view of EMC’s Emergency Department (ED) medical personnel rendered no care and watched.

Barclay Memorial Hospital (BMH) has served its community since 1947 offering the best in health care and gaining the trust of the citizens in the community. A district board was set up to govern the hospital and direct it in a way that would allow the hospital to achieve their goals by bringing quality health care to the neighborhood. The district board was made up of five members who were elected by residents in the district to serve 3-year terms. Around 10 years ago, the board and the CEO decided that the best course of action for the hospital in order to remain competitive was to join a medical group, Valley Physician Group. This made BMH a private, not-for-profit hospital. However, the physician-hospital organization eventually

Sirens are heard though the city, people line up and start looking around to find out what’s going on and see where these sounds are coming from, after just a bit people see the ambulance flying around the corner headed to the brick building in the middle of the town. Hospitals are one of the safest places in the world besides churches. Hospitals provide the important care that our bodies need in order to stay in full function.

My supervisor, one of the head nurses, hurriedly pulled me to the corner of the bleach white hospital room and directed me to put on gloves, an eye mask, and a face mask. I felt as if I was preparing for war as I put on all of the required gear. The sound of expensive shoes click-clacked down the hallway indicating the arrival of two doctors who rushed into the room and shouted out orders to the staff while pulling the doors to the room shut along with the curtains. Two doctors, eight nurses, an intern, and a dying patient squeezed into the already claustrophobic ten by fifteen-foot room. The machine monitoring the patient’s vital signs continued to beep incessantly as my heart rate accelerated.

I remembered my teacher’s advice if we were ever in a situation such as this: take a few deep breaths and sit down if you feel like you’re going to pass out. In that
