Icd-10 costs: Are they overblown?
A new analysis suggests the costs of the transition are not as high as previously thought [49]

Is tort reform capable of achieving gains for physicians
when it comes to medical liability? The jury is out
The future of malpractice reform
Beyond specifc recommendations, proposals
and legislation for fxing the nation’s medical
liability issues, there seems to be a growing
sense—and mounting evidence— that “tort
reform,” broadly construed, may not be
efective at accomplishing what it’s supposed
to. So where does that leave reformers and
physicians?
MAlprActIce reforMers have pur-
sued many strategies in an attempt to rein
in the nation’s malpractice costs and craft
a system that benefts physicians, patients
and the healthcare system as a whole. A
growing body of evidence suggests that
many “tort reform” eforts simply don’t ac-
complish what they’re intended to.
In fact, earlier this year the American
College of Physicians (ACP) released a de-
tailed position paper on malpractice reform
that revisits many old ideas, according to
some experts who follow reform eforts. “It’s
a pretty standard list of tort reform propos-
als,” says David Orentlicher, J.D., codirector
of the Hall Center for Law and Health at the
Indiana University McKinney School of Law.
Another malpractice expert goes further.
“Tere’s nothing new here. Some of this stuf
is literally decades old,” says Keith Hebeisen,
J.D., former chairman of the American Bar
Association’s Standing Committee on Medi-
cal Professional Liability.
Even the “newer” reforms on the ACP’s
list typically are at least 10 years old, though

1.Katrina- In my opinion the court decision is warranted because, doctors are not obligated to disclose to patients “miracle treatments” or any drug or treatment not yet approved by the FDA. Now there are cases where FDA approved drugs have been used in specific treatments that isn’t approved for that particular drug this is called “off label drugs”. The use of non-FDA approve medicines increases the physician chance of medical malpractice liability. These particular drugs and/or treatment were illegal and not approved by the FDA in the patient state of resident for a reason. Non-FDA approved prescription drugs may present a significant threat to individuals seeking care since these drugs most certainly has not endured evaluation by the FDA for “safety, effectiveness or quality” (FDA.gov). If the FDA did not evaluate drugs, there wouldn’t be any means to determine if these medicines are harmless and beneficial for use. The FDA also evaluates to make certain that prescription drugs are formulated in a way that the drug quality is consistent and if the drugs label is absolute and accurate. FDA unapproved drugs have ensued in injury to the patient. The FDA focus on protecting patients from the injuries associated with non-approved drugs. These standards are put in place to protect both the patient and the physician.
The treating physician need not to be held accountable for not advising patients of treatment options that are illegal or not successfully proven because, technically these treatment options are not available to the patient. The informed consent doctrine requires the physician to inform the patient of the benefits, inherent, material risks, and alternatives of a medical intervention. “The doctrine of informed consent is the legal basis for informed consent and is usually outlined in a state’s medical practice acts” (Judson, K 2020). Informed consent entails the patient’s right to receive all pertinent information in relation to the condition and then to make a decision regarding treatment based on that knowledge. (Judson, K 2020). The informed consent doctrine does not include disclosure for illegal treatments or illegal prescription drugs. “The physician's obligation is to give medical facts accurately to the patient and to make recommendations for management in accordance with good medical practice” (AMA 2010). Disclosing illegal treatment options or even illegal prescription drugs do not fall under good medical practices and the physician should not be held responsible for not disclosing this information.

Veteran courts are courts designed to improve their experiences and give a second chance to people who have initially committed a crime. Instead of spending their lives in prison, veteran courts allow them to establish themselves, undergo a rehabilitation program and come out clean (Rodgers, 2018). Once one is assured of their changed behavior they are graduated and allowed to begin their lives on a new page. On the other hand, traditional court, had offenders punished for the mistakes they committed, jailed and serve in prison. Comparing the two types of courts, we appreciate the fact that the veteran court, allows those who have committed crimes to have a second chance in their lives (Ruff, 2018). Even though the traditional court is important in ensuring that there is more discipline and justice offered to the victim, by having the perpetrator, serve his sentence in prison.
Considering the offender, the veteran court system presents a better standpoint for them to ensure that they have a chance to recollect themselves, understand their source of problems and help in improving the behaviors that led them to commit a criminal act. The courts are advantageous to the criminals since they have a specialist who helps in assessing and treating mental health, drug abuse, and psychological issues (Rodgers, 2018). This specialist help in improving the conditions of their patients, by monitoring their behavior change and administering drugs to treat identified conditions. One could ask himself the following questions, why are you treating a villain, instead of imprisoning them?. The answer is simple. We are created to show love to other people, but not to extort the love they have outside them. This is unacceptable, veteran courts treat their patients with love and appreciation and upon completion of the stay, they are applauded and graduated, this allows them to come to the world and begin afresh.
The traditional court system could be unfair in disseminating their verdicts based on the offender. There have been cases where offenders are superimposed on an act that they did not commit. People have been arrested by the traditional system for being alleged of doing an offense, that in actual sense they did not commit (Ruff, 2018). In this case, there have been people who have been mistaken and jailed to serve a sentence they did not commit. This system is believed to be harsh on the offender, having the kind of treatment they receive while in prison. People who have gone through the traditional system, are likely to suffer from the post-trauma stress disorder. This disorder affects the psychology of the offender. There have been cases of inmates killing themselves due to depression. This happens because an individual is subjected to the harshest conditions.
In conclusion, comparing the two courts, the vet ...

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.

July 17th, 2019
Abstract
This paper explores “Medical Malpractice” in the field of law in detailed explanation. The paper begins with an introduction to medical malpractice giving statistics and data. Data from the European Union is used to give a detailed illustration. The introduction is followed by elements of medical malpractice lawsuit, defenses to a medical malpractice lawsuit, ways of avoiding a medical malpractice lawsuit and the policy of medical insurance. The method used to gather information was reading of various articles on the subject. The results of the study revealed an increase in the number of medical malpractice cases. Results also revealed that some medical practitioners are using the defenses available in medical malpractice lawsuit to evade penalties. The study emphasizes on ways in which physicians can avoid malpractice by way of precautionary measures.
The Lawsuit of Medical Malpractice
Introduction
Medical malpractice is a precise kind of negligence defined as an act of omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that departs from accepted standards of practice in the health sector and causes an injury to the patient (Bal, 2009). In the last decade, medical malpractice has increased in Europe to double-digit percentage i.e. >50% in Eastern States, Great Britain and the Baltic, a maximum three-digit percentage i.e. 200-500% in Mediterranean area, Germany, the Iberian countries and Italy. France and Scandinavian counties have seen reduction in malpractice because of simplification of procedures and exemplary innovations.
The Special Eurobarometer on Medical Error in 2006 revealed that 80% of EU citizens view medical error as a key issue and close to 50% believed they would be tangled in a case of medical malpractice. This revealed that the public has become aware that claims of medical malpractice against health practitioners can be successful. In Sweden and Denmark between 2005-2010, the ratio of approval for compensatory claims rose to 40%, the average settlement of around €30,000 per case in EU countries. The European Hospital and Healthcare Federation Standing Committee estimates cost of coverage to be in excess of 200%. Costs fluctuated between 9 and 15 euros per capita with Britain exhibiting the highest figures (Ferrara, 2013).

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.

CHAPTER 9 CONSENTConsent is an ethical imperative of great impo.docxchristinemaritza
CHAPTER 9 CONSENT
Consent is an ethical imperative of great importance to managers and clinicians. It is clear that patients want to be more involved in medical decision making. The issues that consent raises suggest both a problem and a goal for health services providers.
The concept of consent in medical care evolved to protect patients from nonconsensual touching. Although the ethical and legal dimensions overlap, the legal requirements of consent are the minimum expected. The ethics of consent are grounded in the principle of respect for persons, specifically the element of autonomy, which reflects a view of the equality and dignity of human beings. In addition, the ethics of consent reflect the special relationship of trust and confidence between physician and patient and between organization and patient. This fiduciary relationship is supported by the principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence. The manager's virtues of trustworthiness, honesty, integrity, and candor also support the ethics of consent.
According to the law, failure to obtain consent can support a legal action for battery, an intentional tort. Beyond this, an action for negligence can be brought if the physician breaches the duty to communicate information necessary for the patient to give informed consent.
Paternalism stems from beneficence and is the ethical value that competes with patient autonomy in implementing consent. Paternalism arises naturally from the relationship between physician and patient because psychologically, technically, and emotionally, the physician is in a position of superior knowledge and is expected to help choose the best course of action for the patient. This reflects the ethics of care discussed in Chapter 1. The paternalism inherent in the physician–patient relationship was first described in the Hippocratic oath. Beneficence, nonmaleficence, and paternalism continue to be important and are implicit elements of the practice of medicine. The revisions of the Principles of Medical Ethics adopted by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1980 moved organized medicine from paternalism toward autonomy and patient rights, themes that continued in the 2001 revision. The AMA's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs amplified these themes in its Fundamental Elements of the Patient–Physician Relationship statement. This document and the 2001 Principles of Medical Ethics are reproduced in Appendix B.
Specialized codes that guide biomedical research (e.g., the Declaration of Helsinki) also recognize the importance of consent. The emphasis on patients' rights or sovereignty in documents such as these are ideals toward which managers and organizations should strive.
LEGAL ASPECTS
Legally, consent must be voluntary, competent, and informed. The law presumes that persons unable to give consent in an emergency want to receive treatment. The presumption of wanting treatment can be rebutted if a competent patient declines it or if the person requiring ...
Should Nurses Blow the Whistle or Just Keep QuietCarolyn Bupper.docxedgar6wallace88877
Should Nurses Blow the Whistle or Just Keep Quiet?
Carolyn Buppert, MSN, JD
June 24, 2014
Confused? I'm Not Surprised
Apparently, a lot goes on in healthcare that makes nurses uncomfortable, because I am asked this question, in some form, frequently. The answer is complicated. People may differ in their opinions of what falls into the realm of incompetent, unethical, or unsafe practice, and the laws of every state are different. And even though I read law every day, I had trouble figuring out what to advise, given the current law governing nurses. No wonder nurses aren't sure what to do.
Nurses are told that they have a duty to protect patient safety. They learn this from language such as this, in one state's (Maryland) nursing regulations. Under "Ethical Responsibilities," it says: "A nurse shall...Act to safeguard a client and the public if health care and safety are affected by the incompetent, unethical, or illegal practice of any person."[1]
The implication is that when a nurse becomes aware of a patient safety threat, the nurse is supposed to do something.
Maryland is not alone in making such pronouncements. Here is language from the Texas Board of Nursing Website:
Situations involving potential risk of harm to patients or the public are referred to as "violating the nurse's duty to the patient" because all nurses have a duty under Rule 217.11(1)B to maintain a safe environment for patients/clients and others for whom the nurse is responsible.[2]
It makes sense to tell nurses that they are expected to safeguard patient safety. It would be even better if nurses who try to do something were better rewarded for their efforts. However, according to nurses I hear from, when a nurse reports a patient safety problem, the nurse often is surprised to find that he or she is considered the "bad guy." A nurse who raises quality issues that require a change of policy, practice, or staffing can be seen as a disruptor rather than someone who is making constructive criticism. Some nurses who have identified problems have found themselves out of a job.
This is bothersome. It's perfectly legal for a hospital to terminate a nurse, for any reason or for no reason. The only job protections are those granted by contract between the nurse and the hospital (whether it is an individual contract or a contract offered through a labor union) and those granted by the US Constitution and civil rights laws. The latter include the right to be free of discrimination on the basis of age, sex, national origin, race, sexual orientation, and religious preference. If the hospital isn't firing the nurse because of age, sex, national origin, race, sexual orientation, or religious preference, in general the firing is legal. A possible exception is a whistleblower law, which may, in some situations, provide protection for nurses who report patient safety problems. We will get to that shortly.
Although it is legal to fire a nurse for raising a patient safety issue (with a poss.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
