Public Health and Health Care
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of local health departments in providing public health services. It describes how the nearly 3,000 local health departments in the US vary in size and services depending on the community needs. The core services identified by the National Public Health Performance Standards Program include monitoring health status, diagnosing and investigating diseases, informing and educating the public, developing health policies and plans, and enforcing regulations. Employees of local health departments are responsible for assessing community health needs, investigating disease outbreaks, providing health education, and ensuring access to healthcare. The Washington County Health Department in Tennessee was used as an example, outlining its mission and services such as WIC, immunizations, and health promotion programs.
Healthcare budget paper
This paper will discuss the most effective and ineffective financial management practices in the healthcare setting. Healthcare is the most difficult industry to prepare financial operating budgets. There are many factors and variables that must be taken into consideration. These factors and variables can change yearly making the preparation of the budget even more difficult.
Public Health Survey for Tennessee
A team PPP for public health for the state of Tennessee. I was team leader on this responsible for assignments, proofing, submitting, feedback, etc.
Attorney Work Report - Relative verses A City's Transport System
This document summarizes a medical records review related to a lawsuit claiming injury to a patient's toe during transportation. The reviewer found no evidence across multiple providers' records of any toe injury prior to the patient's hospitalization and death from sepsis. The transport company is not found to be responsible for the alleged injury or demise based on the medical documentation.
Evolution of Health Care Information Systems
Health care information systems have evolved significantly over the past 20 years. In the past, medical documentation was entirely handwritten using different colored inks. Now, electronic health records allow for digital documentation and sharing of patient information across providers. This evolution has improved patient care through faster access to test results, coordinated care, and disease surveillance. Major technological advances like health information exchanges and widespread adoption of health IT have enabled the electronic sharing of health data, leading to more efficient care and better patient outcomes. As technology continues to advance, health care information systems will likewise continue to evolve to make better use of available data.
Comparing Cognitive Changes
This document compares the cognitive changes in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. MCI involves mild memory loss that does not interfere with daily life. Parkinson's disease causes tremors and movement difficulties due to dopamine loss. Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia in older adults and involves severe memory loss and cognitive decline. While there are no cures for these conditions, treatments can help manage symptoms for a time. All three diseases have significant effects on patients and their families.
Attorney Project Quadi Equina (names changed)
This document summarizes a medical malpractice case involving Henry Smith. Mr. Smith had back surgery and was later hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism. During his hospital stay, he began experiencing neurological issues but experienced delays in appropriate care. A stat MRI was ordered in the evening for decreased sensation and mobility in his legs but was not performed until nearly 8 hours later, revealing a hematoma. Surgery to evacuate the hematoma was then started, also nearly 8 hours after the MRI was ordered. The delays in care likely worsened Mr. Smith's prognosis, and the summarizing consultant asserts the standard of care was not followed in monitoring his neurological status and addressing the stat MRI order in a timely manner.
Attending an IME (names changes)
- Dr. Neurosurgeon performed a medical exam on Jane Smith that the nursing observer found concerning and unorthodox. The exam involved unnecessary disrobing, obstructed views that prevented objective observation, repeated questioning, and implications that seemed aimed at discrediting the patient.
- In his deposition, Dr. Neurosurgeon's behavior changed and he claimed to find nothing abnormal, which contradicted what the nurse observed during the actual exam. The nurse concluded the deposition answers did not match her observations of the exam.

The Nervous System - ALS
The document discusses Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It provides information on the nervous system, statistics on ALS, symptoms, progression of the disease, treatment options, and resources for patients and caregivers. ALS is a motor neuron disease that attacks and kills neurons in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. This leads to progressive muscle weakness, physical disability, speech and swallowing difficulties, and eventually death, usually within 3 to 5 years from diagnosis. There is currently no cure for ALS.
Health care business analysis
The document analyzes the operating budgets of Patton-Fuller Community Hospital for 2008-2009 and proposes a 2010 budget. It recommends giving nurses a $1/hour raise to retain staff. This will increase expenses but is less costly than replacing nurses. The budget projects a 238% rise in expenses due to the raise but a reduced operating loss, improving the hospital's financial situation. It differentiates between managerial accounting and financial management concepts and explains how cost measurement helps analyze variances for maintaining budgets.
Promoting communication to improve patient care
The document discusses poor communication within a healthcare organization and proposes solutions. It identifies that the director of nursing is primarily responsible for the lack of communication flowing both up and down the management chain. To address this, the director of nursing should develop a written communication plan, engage employees for input, and implement regular meetings to review progress. Proper communication is essential for patient care, employee satisfaction, and organizational success.
Sexual harrassment in the workplace
The document discusses a case of sexual harassment at a healthcare facility. A nurse aide filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the Chief Medical Officer for unwanted sexual advances. An investigation confirmed the allegations. In response, the nurse manager wrongfully terminated the employee filing the complaint as well as two others, violating their civil rights. The EEOC found the terminations to be unlawful retaliation. The document outlines steps the facility should take to remedy the situation, including reinstating employees, terminating those responsible, revising policies, and ensuring no future retaliation occurs.
Clinical orders presentation
This document discusses standard clinical orders for specific diagnoses and their benefits, such as saving time and money, decreasing medication errors, and simplifying the admission process. It outlines the impact of clinical orders on healthcare delivery by reducing time to place common orders, ensuring quality of care, reducing medical errors, and improving patient outcomes. The document also covers training for physicians, nurses and ancillary staff, as well as maintenance components, privacy and security management, and hardware considerations for implementing a clinical order system.

- 1. I use anatomical pictures for demonstrative evidence. For example, in this one, I could show the blood flow through the heart. I could add a clot and show how it damages a certain area of the cardiac muscle. Or, if there were trauma to the heart from a slip during surgery, etc. that could be demonstrated on this drawing.
