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 Miami VA hospital has been troubled after the scandal that involved thousands of patients being exposed to the risks of HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The major issue arose on the fact the management in place was not making any progress to deal with the problem. After going through the case study, the hearing on the situation and further research on the internet regarding the Miami VA Hospital, I made several findings that enabled me to come up with the following recommendation to help rejuvenate the hospital.

I chose to review the University of Kansas Hospital (TUKH). I currently attend clinical at this facility and have had clinical time there in first semester as well. TUKH is an acute care hospital that treats a vast array of patients. The hospital has an overall ranking of 3/5 stars.

In such a busy hospital it is hard for patients to receive care at the exact moment they want it because staff are extremely busy. Also, hospitals are loud
