Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non- ...

Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
For this assignment, you are given an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making
.
UMUC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMUC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly and honestly applied.
In addition, you will want to consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.
For this paper, the following elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:
Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.
Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use

TOPIC 2:
Anthony:
The movie that I watched for this week, Constantine, would almost certainly have been censored. This movie explores some of things in religion that most God fearing individuals would rather not. The idea that an evil would threaten the very existence of mankind. Not to mention the way some of the demons and victims were killed or eliminated. The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 or The Hays Code, established guidelines for movie producers. The following is a short explanation of his code:
The Code was based on three general principles: No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin. Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented. Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation. These were developed in a series of rules grouped under the self-explanatory headings Crimes Against The Law, Sex, Vulgarity, Obscenity, Profanity, Costume, Dances (i.e. suggestive movements), Religion, Locations (i.e. the bedroom), National Feelings, Titles and "Repellent Subjects" (extremely graphic violence) (BFI. n.d.)

Robert:
I'm pretty sure that "The Evil Dead" would have received an "X" rating upon release had it come out 50 years ago since "The Excorcist" had that rating upon its release. There is a parallel between the two since in both cases audiences became more likely to laugh at the scarier scenes than to be frightened by them. Both also had religious imagery that would be offensive to alot of people. Times have really changed since the late 1960s concerning the ratings system; films like "Midnight Cowboy" and "A Clockwork Orange" that had X ratings at one point would be very comfortably in the "R" category today.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
