Assignment Details
It has been reported that most healthcare facilities and plans em
ploy quality improvement and risk managers to oversee risk and
quality issues relating to physicians and support
staff (Judson & Harrison, 2021). Quality improvement and risk
managers may also assume responsibility for compliance with fe
deral, state, and other healthcare regulations. A
compliance plan is developed to help ensure that all government
regulations are followed.
Considering the following section from the course scenario, you
may agree with this perspective.
Seeking
Solution
s
All of these ethical violations resulted in St. Michael's Medical
Center facing a massive lawsuit amounting to millions of dollar
s. The hospital has violated most of the regulatory
2. compliance standards set by agencies such as the following:
National Association of Healthcare Quality (NAHQ)
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
The Joint Commission (TJC)
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Despite these agencies' fines, the hospital continues to endanger
patients with poor quality healthcare outcomes.
St. Michael's Medical Center is now seeking a risk mitigation co
nsultant to head the hospital as the new chief executive officer (
CEO). You have been selected because of your
risk management background. You realize that the hospital coul
d have avoided all of these problems if it had complied with reg
ulations, trained its staff, and enforced internal
organizational policies. You are hired to put things in order and
prevent future problems.
For this assignment, you will prepare a final presentation for th
e Board of Governors of St. Michael's Medical Center. For this
presentation, you will prepare an 8-slide PowerPoint
addressing the following:
What are some current risk areas in healthcare?
3. How do these risk areas affect the quality of care in patients?
How do patient safety issues influence organizational performan
ce?
How are ethical and legal issues related to patient safety and or
ganizational outcomes?
What are the organizational obligations for reporting risk?
How do patient outcomes relate to risk management?
What are the roles of external regulatory bodies—
such as the OSHA, the NAHQ, TJC, and the CMS—
and why are they significant to patient care and organizational
performance?
What quality management initiatives would you put in place to e
nhance St. Michael's Medical Center's image?
