Medteech Case Study

The “Cold Feet” dilemma had seven people that would be affected by my decision: The shareholders, the Chief Legal Officer, the Marketing Director, the Division Medical Director, the National Institute of Health, the future purchasers of the drug, and the Journal. The reputation lens and the relationship lens were used to help me make a decision. The relationship lens helped me identify that people involved are entitled to a number of limited rights, people without power must be protected, and the right to a fair process. This led me to choose to have a committee with the appropriate authority and representation

as one of the ten most outstanding engineering achievements in the world over the past 50 years,

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:

The major issue that is concerning Monarch Supply Company is that seems to be a rather large disconnect between the employees working in the field sales department and the inside sales department which is causing a number of problems for the company, and jeopardizing their sustainable competitive advantage of other firms. The field sales department is regarded by most as being the backbone of the company due to the vast engineering background all employees are required to have and the extensive interactions they have with the customers. The field sales department are all paid strictly on a commission basis with the salary ranging anywhere from

Jones Regional Medical Center is a huge academic health center with 900 beds and are known for its research and teaching hospitals. Additionally, the IT staff at Jones supports 300 applications and 12,000 workstations. The center uses Technology Med (TechMed) for their admitting system. The system includes registration, inpatient charge, payment entry, master patient index, admission, hospital billing, and more. 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 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

I read a news article on Medscape which talks about increasing access to mental health care. The rule require provisions of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 to apply to the majority of Medicaid plans and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (Brooks, 2015). The act ensures that mental health and substance use disorder benefits are no more restrictive than medical and surgical services (Brooks, 2015). I strongly believe that individuals deserve access to quality mental health services and substance use disorder services. In addition, improving quality and access to care will impacts the health of our nation. The proposed rule ensures that all beneficiaries who receive services through a managed care plan or

Hi Kimberly, I agree with you. In the past, physicians may choose a drug or device product based on the potential profit. The federal government designed the Anti-Kickback law to fight against fraud and abuse. In addition, it helps identify a valid reason for the payment exchange between the pharmaceutical company and the physician.

I compared Medstar Good Samarian Hospital, GBMC and Medstar Franklin Square Hospitals (FSH) for my comparison. I chose these three because they are near my home and I would likely be taken to one of them in an emergency. I was most surprised by the percentages under the readmission and death rates tab. This category included patients who were previously admitted to the hospital for treatment of medical problems and later experienced an issue that caused them to be readmitted. For COPD, heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and hip/knee surgery, all three of the hospitals met the national average. Under the stroke category, FSH was worse than the national average in the number of deaths that resulted from this complication.

Medtrak is a fully intergraded EMR and medical software services system. This system makes it easier to choose with committing by being on an operating expense instead of an investment. The process of patient’s visits in real time was started in 1993 by eventually evolving to have an ambulatory setting that was once only to run the emergency room. Medtrak has changed the way a physician and staff provides their great service for their patients.
