Read the following scenario and outline the steps that you take
to address the concerns of the hospital in your initial post?
Then, respond to at least three (3) of your fellow classmates.
You are the newly hired Director of Risk Management for
Westview Clinical Center, New York City’s largest clinical
research medical center (“Westview”); a medical facility that is
in crisis. Westview’s 3,000-bed main hospital facility is located
in central Manhattan. The remainder of the clinical center,
consisting of an Oncology Center, Radiology Center, medical
school, pediatrician center, psychiatric facility, and research
facilities are also located in central Manhattan (within a few
blocks of the main facility), New Jersey and Connecticut. On
average, Westview sees over 3,500 patients each week, mainly
through its emergency room department. Patients who are seen
through the ER typically spend1.5 hours on average from
presentation to discharge. If patients are admitted, they
typically spend 2 days in the hospital. Westview takes pride in
its prompt, safe, and efficient delivery of medical services.
Recently, the State of New York conducted a random audit of
the facility, including reviewing its readmission rates and
incidents of nosocomial infections (i.e., secondary infections,

2. hospital-acquired infection). Secondary infections are infections
that happen as a result of receiving treatment in a hospital or
medical center but are secondary from the patient’s original
admitting diagnosis. The State audit revealed that, of all the
readmissions to the hospital, a staggering 85% are the result of
secondary admissions. What’s worst, many of the secondary
infections are for acute or communicable infections (e.g.,
tuberculosis, bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, strep throat,
etc…). In fact, 78% of the cases are bacterial in nature, with the
remainder, viral in nature. As a result of its review, the State
has determined that the ER is the main entry point for these
infections and that Westview must close its ER. If the ER
closes, Westview will immediately go bankrupt.
After much discussion between Westview’s legal department
and the State regulators, the State has agreed to allow Westview
to remain open if it:
1. Determines the main cause of the spread of infections from
one location to the next
2. Resolve any additional training needed to prevent (mainly,
reduce) future incidents of infection
3. Draft an acceptable Risk Management Plan to minimize
and/or prevent incidents of secondary infections.
Westview has agreed to the State’s terms. The Chief Medical
Officer’s first act was to terminate the former Director of Risk
Management and hire you. The CMO gives you the task.
After reading the scenario in its entirety, and using what you
have read so far in the Unit, how would you begin to address
the hospital’s noted deficiencies? Note: You are not being asked
to create a detailed risk management plan. Rather, describe how
you would go about creating one while addressing the needs of
the hospital in light of the state’s requirements.
*Unit 1 DB: What is Quality? (BUS211 Baldrige Principles &

What is quality? How do you define quality at University? At
work? What is an organization you belong to/know of that does
a great job with quality? Why do you believe this to be true?

3. How does your definition of quality fit with what Malcolm
Baldrige believed?
In response to what your peers have posted, build upon the
similarities in your answers and question the differences. What
other points can you bring up and explore together?

This discussion board is intended to introduce you to the
economics terms we will cover in the class. You are to explain
the term that you have been assigned as a presentation to the
class. Please refer to the sample file attached to the welcome
announcement.
Open the discussion with a brief introduction to the topic. For
example, you might use something like the following. "Like
many disciplines, economics uses specific terminology to ensure
complete understanding of the concepts employed. In this
presentation, I would like to introduce you to the concepts of
(the term the student is provided with).”
· Define the assigned term in your own words. (Term: Circular-
flow diagram)
· Provide an original, economics-based explanation of the term.
· Provide a real/hypothetical contextual example (different from
that provided in the text) of the term as it is applied to
economics.
· Do not just list the above in bullet-point style.

1.) The cost principle requires that plant assets to be recorded at
cost. Consists of all expenditures necessary to acquire an asset
and make it ready for its intended use.

and divide it by the estimated life of the item.
3.) Revenue expenditures are for cost that are related to specific
