St. Jude Medical Case

Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products. Just like any ordinary business, these products would have cost objects and would require an accounting system. In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.

Middleboro Community Hospital is a non-profit hospital founded in 1890 with state licensure, The Joint Commission accreditation, and American College of Surgeons approval. Over 120+ year history, Middleboro has grown to be a respectable facility in the eyes of the medical community as well as its immediate population of patients in Middleboro. Still, Middleboro must continue to fight to remain relevant and up-to-date with the latest medical technology and changing patient demographics and needs. In order to this, Middleboro Community Hospital has set these three goals as part of their corporate strategy:

It is of my opinion that Sunnylake Hospital should have kept their old system of recording care relatively up to date in case of instances like the article described. If Sunnylake had taken such a precaution, I would suggest that the hospital resume its operation to how it was immediately after the hack took place. This would not be particularly difficult since the system had only been in operation for three years, and my assumption is that a majority of the staff has worked there long enough to recall the old system. My rationale for using paper charting is that it temporarily relieves the risk of immediate patient danger to those that are currently admitted and receiving care. Keeping paper copies of the most important patient information each time a patient is admitted can facilitate this. Essentially, the high-risk information such as allergies and medication prescriptions should be

Jan Schlichtmann is not good role model for personal injury attorneys. He chose to take the Woburn case because he believed it would positively impact his reputation in the legal community, and he did not consider the case’s requirements. The book implies that he had a certain commitment to his vision of himself as a savior and a maverick, using unorthodox techniques to reach a trial victory in favor of his clients, a self-concept that I believe involves more personal investment than is healthy or beneficial for a personal injury attorney. Ultimately, he lacked experience, which manifested in a variety of ways that damaged the plaintiffs’ case.

In many of St. Jude’s commercials, they feature doctors conducting researches and test to demonstrate towards the audience that they are doing all they can to help cure their patients. Everybody knows that it takes many years to become a doctor and obtain a degree thus making them credible characters in these commercials. When it comes to the “Thanks and Giving” advertisements, St. Jude's credibility comes in the form of celebrities. Celebrities, such as Sofia Vergara, Morgan Freeman, and Jennifer Aniston show their support and encourage others to donate to the cause. Having the man who founded this program, be a celebrity himself helped making it well known and bring publicity when it first came to be. The idea that well-known celebrities

A Serious Case Review (SCR) is held when an at risk adult dies and neglect or abuse is suspected to be a factor in their death. The aim of an SCR is for all agencies and people involved to learn lessons about how they safeguard adults at risk and prevent such tragedies occurring in the future.
