Police subpoenaed the records of Planned Parenthood to obtain the names of women who had received positive results on pregnancy tests in the previous nine months. Planned Parenthood refused to comply with the subpoena, arguing that a woman’s decision about her pregnancy is among the most private of matters. Those who came to Planned Parenthood to determine whether they were pregnant ought to not be subjected, nine months later, to police officers knocking on their doors and asking details about the outcome of their pregnancy. They also point out that there is no guarantee that the woman even got a pregnancy test or that she was a local resident, so the search of the records could turn out to be
I just hope things improve.” The family of resident Olive Bewick decided to move her to a different care home after she was found with bruising on her shins. Mrs Bewick had lived at Honeymead for five years until, over the last four months, her family became so concerned about her care that they complained to management. Her granddaughter Julie Ryall, 38, said: ‘We noticed things with her personal hygiene. Her nails were absolutely filthy, but she is either in bed or a wheelchair, so it’s not like she was doing gardening. “We also noticed dried food on her face where they had not washed it after meals.
Organizational barriers that affect change can include technological issues, such as computer servers and interfaces. For example, registration enters a patient into the system but because of interface issues it does not carry over to the CPRS. To overcome this organizational barrier it is necessary for a downtime plan to be put into place and for the staff to know how to execute this downtime plan (Borkowski, 2005).. Individual barriers are put up by the staffs’ reluctance to adapt to change (Borkowski, 2005). Many of the staff working at CHOMP in the emergency department have been there for almost 15 years.
A1. Sentinel Event A minor female patient, Tina, accompanied by her mother was registered for surgery on Thursday morning, September 12th, by hospital registrar Katie Jessup at Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH). Ms. Jessup entered the patient demographic and insurance information into the hospital’s EMR, asked about and collected insurance documentation, secured condition of admission and treatment form, authorized payment and treatment forms signed and filed per departmental procedural guidelines. Ms. Jessup did not request further identification nor did she request/inquire about potential custody information as it was not part of the process she had been trained to follow. In the incident interview Ms. Jessup commented that she felt
Case study 1 CQC inspectors visited a care home in Merseyside to follow up on concerns raised about standards of care. Upon inspection CQC found that the care being provided was falling short of the standards people should be able to expect and improvements were needed. People were not protected against the risk of receiving unsafe and inappropriate care because their care and support needs were not being properly assessed. Care plans viewed by inspectors provided only general information and did not reflect individual needs and lifestyle choices. At the time of the inspection visit, the manager and deputy manager had both resigned and there was no one person to oversee the service on a day to day basis.
Maria Worrall aged 78years had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and had suffered several falls; she had ended up bed bound and admitted to hospital. Whilst at hospital it was agreed that Maria would need to go into a nursing home as she was no longer able to do anything for herself and needed to be cared for. Jane Worrall cared for her mother for a little while she would do all the dressing, bathing and cooking. Jane fell pregnant and wasn’t able to manage the care her mother needed anymore so she had looked at several homes and liked the look of ash court and from the ratings on the internet from the CQC were giving an excellent
When Allie left that summer, in the book it said how Noah wrote her letters for two years. In the movie Noah wrote Allie for exactly 365 days. Allie never got any of them because her mom hid them. Allies parents did not approve of Noah, he was poor and underclass, or as Allies mom called him trash. There were a couple of scenes in the movie that were not mentioned in the book.
After different nurses had went in and tried working with this patient I went in. After entering the room I introduced myself to the patient and got straight to the point. I informed the patient that medicine could not be left at bedside it was against the hospital policy. Also I explained that the only medicines administered to him were the ones ordered by his doctor; and some medications that the doctor ordered was multiple dose. I discussed with the patient also that some medicine is not as effective when not taken all at the same time.
They cannot read the waivers that they sign preceding surgical procedures. Several women I known in Boston have entered a slum hospital with the intention of obtaining a tubal ligation and have emerged a few days later after having been subjected to a hysterectomy.” 5. What IS the “human cost” of a society in which so many people cannot operate at the level of functional literacy? The cost is not being able to enjoy the most simplest of things and risking important things. For example, the luxury of reading captions on a television show or reading the newspaper to consuming something bad that maybe bad for your health or losing a job because you weren’t able to understand what exactly you needed to do; and everything else in between.
Poor nutrition has been shown to contribute to poor wound healing (Timmons, 2003) and is therefore, an aspect of patient care that needs to be addressed. It was prominent that the ward did not have any information leaflets for patients and their family to support the verbal information/health promotion given from staff. Taking into account that Kemp (2001) estimated that 2/3 of patients admitted to hospital are at nutrition compromise and that the NHS spends up to £2 billion a year on wound management (WHRU, 2007), this seemed to be a justifiable area in need of further research.
