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.

Westview Health Center is a public health service connected to the rural and suburban Alberta Health Services sector. Currently the home care program coordinates their health care aides (HCA) under what has been deemed a “fragmented” approach. As of now, the managers seek to obtain more information about other models of supervision. Due to this request, a literature review of evidence-based articles and documents was conducted. This then resulted in the search for models that best adhered to the values of the home care program and Alberta Health Services. These values include a patient focused and quality system, compassion, accountability, respect, excellence and safety (Alberta Health Services, 2017). A report was created that summarized

Hip replacement surgery involves the replacement of damaged cartilage with a new joint material which may be of metal, plastic, etc. In the process of considering which hospital is better given that the same surgeon is on the staff for both these hospitals, it’s important to consider patient safety as the most important feature. I would recommend Aunt Mary to choose the Main Line Hospital Lankenau over the Mercy Fitzgerald hospital. In Survey of the patient experience which was conducted using the HCAHPS (Hospital consumer assessment of Healthcare providers and systems), Lankenau hospital had a better score nationally whereas Mercy Fitzgerald had a lower score. While considering timeliness and the effectiveness of surgical care,

St. Jude’s Research Hospital product is taking care of its patients by helping them to deal with cancer. The chief executive officer of the hospital should approve any program that gives the doctors, nurses, housekeepers, and any other position that aids a child to have a better life.

Administration and the finance department help due to the fact that they ensure that the patient’s parents do not pay a dime for the hospital stay.
