Assessing Employees’ Understanding of Liability Protections for Physicians and Facility A case of Three Mountains Regional Hospital Keri King Deliverable 2 Physician Liability Protection Question 1 In case no fee is charged, does the responsibility of the malpractice carrier change? In the event a fee is not charged, the responsibility of the malpractice carrier does not change. The reason is that the practitioner would be deemed to have executed the procedure in question. In the context, the expectation would be that the physician endeavors to meet the highest standards of care. If the responsibility was to change, however, the notion would be that the practitioner is motivated by pay to adhere to practice guidelines, which should not be the case. 2 Physician Liability Protection Question 2 Do Good Samaritan laws present an effect of a physician’s protection from legal action? Good Samaritan laws have an effect of protection of healthcare professionals from legal actions in certain specific circumstances. One such circumstance is during provision of care in emergency circumstances. In legal context, emergency situations may involve the element of confusion and the physician may, therefore, engage in a malpractice against their wish (Bertoli & Grembi, 2018). The laws mentioned previously, however, do not offer protection to physicians in all other circumstances of offering care and physicians should, therefore, exercise caution. 3 Physician Liability Protection Question 3 What is the nature of liability incurred by a physician as a result of diagnosing a patient and recommending treatment without usual diagnostic tests? Diagnosing a patient without a usual test amounts to neglect of the duty of care to decide the treatment to give to a sufferer. The reason is that a range of ailments can feature similar symptoms and would, therefore, be inappropriate for a medic to settle on treatment without confirmed laboratory results. In like manner, the physician in question would also be liable for breaching the duty of care in administration of treatment. The breach of duties would grant a patient the right of action for negligence. 4 Physician Liability Protection Question 4 In case treatment will be unavailable owing to the patient being uninsured, what would be the use of diagnostic testing? Usually, treatment is not available to patients that are not insured. In the context, however, diagnostic tests may still be available to the patients despite the absence of insurance, the rationale being that test results may be applied for treatment of the patient in the facility if payment is availed (Schneider, 2017). In a similar manner, the results may be used in another medical facility where a client could be having a cover. In both cases, prior testing saves a client from potential danger of escalation of their problem without knowledge of the disorder they are suffering from. 5 Physician Liability Pr ...

By accepting assignment for all covered services, a participating provider agrees that he or she will not collect from Medicare beneficiary more than applicable deductible and coinsurance for covered services.” “The OIG alleged that the physician created a program whereby the physician’s patients were asked to sign a yearly contract and pay a yearly fee for services that the physician characterized as ‘not covered’ by Medicare. The OIG further alleged that because at least some of the services described in the contract were actually covered and reimbursable by Medicare, each contract presented to the Medicare patients constituted a request for payment other than the coinsurance and applicable deductible for covered services. In violation of these terms of the physician’s assignment agreement. In addition to payment of the settlement amount, the physician agreed not to request similar payments from beneficiaries in the future.” (http://www.oig.hhs.gov) Essentials of Health Care Compliance Week Three Compliance: Patient Consent Learning Outcomes Identify the various situations in which consent is required Determine the components of each type of written consent form Explain the types of advance directives Establish internal policies for acquiring patient consent Design a process to handle release of information The single biggest probl.

Cardinality Proof Problems Cardinality Proof Problems (1) Suppose f: S right arrow T, and that f is one to one. Prove that S ~ f(S). (2) Show that R~(a,b) for every a Solution f is a function from S to T f is given to be one to one i.e. each element in f has a unique image in T and also if f(a) = f(b) then a = b Hence if n is the no of elements in S, f(S) will have image for each of the n element. Hence n[f(S)] = n(S) S~f(S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) b) Consider the function f(x) = sinx, where 0<=x<=pi/2 sin 0 =0 and sin pi/2 =1 Also sinx is one to one Hence (0,pi/2)~(0,1) c) Consider the interval (-pi/2, pi/2) as domain for the function f(x) = tan x As from -pi/2 to 0 tan is negative, we see that f is one to one. Hence f(x) = (-tan pi/2, tanpi/2) = (-infinity, infinity) Or (-pi/2, pi/2)~R.

Discuss the nine principles of medical ethics as designated by the American Medical Association (AMA). · 4. Summarize “A Patient’s Bill of Rights.” · 5. Understand standard of care and how it is applied to the practice of medicine. · 6. Discuss three patient self-determination acts. · 7. Describe the difference between implied consent and informed consent. Key Terms Abandonment Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) Advance directive Against medical advice (AMA) Agent Consent Do not resuscitate (DNR) Durable power of attorney Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Implied consent Informed (or expressed) consent Incompetent patient In loco parentis Living will Minor Noncompliant patient Parens patriae authority Privileged communication Prognosis Proxy Uniform Anatomical Gift Act THE CASE OF DAVID Z. AND AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS) David, who has suffered with ALS for 20 years, is now hospitalized in a private religious hospital on a respirator. He spoke with his physician before he became incapacitated and asked that he be allowed to die if the suffering became too much for him. The physician agreed that, while he would not give David any drugs to assist a suicide, he would discontinue David’s respirator if asked to do so. David has now indicated through a prearranged code of blinking eye movements that he wants the respirator discontinued. David had signed his living will before he became ill, indicating that he did not want extraordinary means keeping him alive. The nursing staff has alerted the hospital administrator about the impending discontinuation of the respirator. The administrator tells the physician that this is against the hospital’s policy. She states that once a patient is placed on a respirator, the family must seek a court order to have him or her removed from this type of life support. In addition, it is against hospital policy to have any staff members present during such a procedure. After consulting with the family, the physician orders an ambulance to transport the patient back to his home, where the physician discontinues the life support. · 1. What were the primary concerns of the hospital? · 2. What was the physician’s primary concern? · 3. When should the discussion about the patient’s future plans have taken place with the hospital administrator? Introduction Few topics are as important as the physician–patient relationship. This relationship impacts the entire healthcare team. All healthcare professionals who interact with the patient must understand their responsibilities to both the patient and the physician. The patient’s right to confidentiality must always be paramount. The first physicians were “medicine men,” witch doctors, or sorcerers. The physician–pa.

Current System Issues and Their ImpactsIntroductionBefore we .docx

Current System Issues and Their Impacts Introduction Before we can discuss change and innovation in our health care delivery system, a strong understanding of the current system is necessary, including how it functions, what types of incentives are at work, and how the different entities inside it work with and impact each other. What Elements Drive Our Current System? There are several key drivers of the existing system, and among these are the money, providers, payers, and consumers. When examining the behavior of any system, it is useful to look at the series of rewards and consequences that drive behavior. In health care, this means that much can be learned about the system's behavior by following the money trail. What things are reimbursed, under what circumstances, and with what outcomes? Under what circumstances are consequences, such as not getting paid, applied? In the current system, payments are highest for procedures, and proceduralists such as surgeons, gastroenterologists, and interventional cardiologists are all paid much higher fees than are family practice physicians, pediatricians, or hospitalists, all of whom manage medical care. Hospitals function under the same premise. Approximately 75% of the revenue for the average community hospital comes from surgeries, and another 12% comes from diagnostic imaging procedures. Additional amounts come from cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures. So, approximately 90% to 95% of revenue comes from performing procedures on patients rather than providing management of diseases through medications or other noninvasive treatments. Thus, the system is focused on rewarding procedures that lead to "curing" and focused away from medical management of chronic diseases or prevention of disease and illness. Financial Elements Without doubt, money is one of, if not the, most powerful drivers of system functioning. For a classic example, we can look at the old fee-for-service payment methodology prevalent in the 1960s and 1970s, and contrast it with Medicare's implementation of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) as a payment mechanism in 1983. Under fee-for-service health care, providers used whatever procedures, equipment, and supplies they felt were needed for care, and they submitted a bill that charged for each item. The payors received the bill, corrected any errors, and then issued a check for the corrected amount to the providers. If a provider wished to make a larger profit, they could provide more services or billable items to increase the payment. It comes as no great surprise to note that utilization of services and cost both rose rapidly under this methodology, since there was no incentive to be frugal. When Medicare changed its reimbursement to DRGs, the system began to experience the impact of being paid one flat fee, set by DRG, for the entire admission, regardless of how much care was rendered. For example, if a hospital provided care at a cost below the DRG payment, it was ab.

Disaster Contact a disaster preparedness person at either a local hospital, or local city or county emergency services agency. NORTHEAST OHIO 1. Blackout 2003 2. Chardon Highschool shooting 2012 3. Great blizzard 1978 Interview your contact, asking the following questions: 1) "What do you consider to be the top three disasters for which you prepare?" 2) "What would you say are your top three lessons learned about managing a disaster?" What Would the Best Future for Health Care Look Like? Introduction The one thing the debate over reforming health care taught us all is that there are as many opinions as there are interested groups, and all of them differ in meaningful ways. To look at the views on improving the systems of care delivery, it is important to note where they have points of agreement and where they differ. They are all driven by the values and principles of the constituencies and what they hope to achieve from changes in the delivery system. This module will explore points of agreement and differences between important groups that will influence the direction health care will go in the next decade. Patients It is an interesting point that all constituencies, in their public statements, emphasize that a strong health care system should focus on getting the best outcomes for patients. What would that be, from the perspective of patients? Typically, patients relate that they want top quality in their care and the latest technology, along with immediate and unrestricted access to care, at the lowest possible cost. This triad has become the stumbling block of change initiatives, since to date, no one has figured out how to deliver all three. However, when patients' views are explored and probed, some interesting facts emerge. When patients say they want top quality care, in general, they tend to define that as achieving a cure or return to health. They certainly do not want to leave the system feeling worse than when they came in. Patients have been heavily lobbied in the media by pharmaceutical and medical technology companies to convince them that the latest (and most expensive) technology will deliver the desired outcomes. However, very little real research on the true effectiveness of treatments and technology makes its way to most patients, and patients in general do not shop for their medical care as carefully as they would if they were purchasing new cars, for example. The language of research and medicine is difficult for patients to understand and is frequently not well-explained by providers. So, the nuances of top quality care in terms of being able to deliver a cure or return to health are not well understood by the constituency with the most at risk. What patients do understand is whether they feel better or see improvement in their health and whether care was rendered without errors and in a compassionate way. The best health care system, from a patient's point of view, is one that can consistently deliver the good.
