Could administrator’s change financial and data entry to look successful or to receive more funding? These are just a few reasons to look into administrators of each hospital. The third and final source is the supervisors and finance department that is under each administrator. The problem could be starting from the bottom and making its way up. Administrators depend on the information they receive from the employees under them.
Root Cause Analysis of a Case Study Alice Holliday Western Governors University Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership RTT1 Root Cause Analysis of a Case Study Healthcare presents numerous opportunities for patients to be helped by healthcare personnel. Unfortunately, there are also numerous opportunities for patients to be failed by healthcare personnel. When patients are failed by healthcare personnel, it is required by the Joint Commission for hospitals to carry out a Root Cause Analysis in order to understand the systems within the organization that failed so that improvements can be made and the failures can be prevented from happening in the future. (Cherry & Jacob, 2011) This paper will describe how a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be used following the death of a patient, and how Change Theory and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) can be utilized to come up with ways to prevent the failure from being repeated. A. Root Cause Analysis A Root Cause Analysis is an organized process used to determine the processes that lead to sentinel events.
Some staff were too ready to use methods of restraint without considering alternatives. Managers did not ensure that major incidents were reported. Planning and delivery of care did not meet individual needs. They did not have robust systems to assess the quality of service. They did not identify and manage risks relating to health and safety of the patient.
Supposedly, the switch was to create operational diagnostic criteria’s, which is seen as more consistent than ones based on clinicians descriptions. The shift in the DSM paradigm was not based on scientific information or the recognition of disorders by their biological causes. It was due in part to politics and discord in the psychiatric field the government’s involvement with research and policy making in mental health. Insurance companies demanding proof of diagnosis and that treatment are necessary and pharmaceutical companies needing an avenue to push their products. The DSM has been unreliable in helping clinicians consistently diagnose patients, 2e children remain victims of the diagnostic system which can lead to misdiagnosis thereby children are prescribed dangerous
Argument for Change Stacy Powell Kaplan University College Composition II Argument for Change "Rules in the healthcare setting are very important to ensure proper care of the people being treated there by the healthcare staff responsible for their well being while they are being treated. " Some people would argue that some of the rules set in a healthcare facility are ridiculous and refuse to follow them. Such as cell phone use or taking excessive smoking breaks or longer breaks than assigned. These rules are set to ensure the safety of the patients that live there. If someone is on their phone they tend to ignore call lights or other duties they are supposed to attend to.
The aforementioned advantages cannot be realized if the business operates as nonprofit entity since it will rely on the community for its operations and hence lack the ability and capacity to offer quality medical services. Nonprofit health care organizations depend on volunteers who in most cases do not have enough experience in the health sector. Nonprofit organizations also suffer from poor management and leadership styles which subsequently lead to their failure (Cutler, McClellan & Newhouse, 2000). Create a contract structure, including four (4) necessary clauses, for inclusion for medical staff for this facility. 1.
The program would use case managers and a database tracking system to enhance patient access to regular healthcare services, connect patients to regular healthcare services and help combat logistical interference in getting the right care. Solution: Identification of potential clients: If the patient indicates a basic need (for food, shelter, etc.) during a visit to the emergency department the attending nurse or physician can initiate a referral to the case management program by giving the patient information about the program and placing an order in the chart. The case managers and program director receive weekly reports of these
Based on the multitude of systems available, it is important to ensure that an effective system is acquired and that the proper post-purchase training occurs. Further it also points out that many clinicians do not understand that these systems are not created by IT companies, and they believe they are too expensive to begin to discuss. TEN: How to Tell if EMR Will Hinder or Hurt Your Practice:
Unfortunately, Jean did not properly research her client’s needs or adequately project what the outcome might be. Because of this, Pacific Oil Company was not prepared to address the concerns and requests that Reliant brought up during the negotiation. Though both parties wanted to move quickly toward signing a contract, Pacific Oil Company elongated this process because it did not have a thorough negotiation strategy that included a contingency plan or best alternatives. Pacific oil also neglected to draw out its best alternatives or bottom line in advance. Staying on the Same Page in Business Negotiations Pacific believed that other elements of the contract might be discussed, but that no dramatic changes would be expected.
Next will be the discussion regarding the responsibilities of administrators and how to address employee problems. Finally, the essay will end on possible resolutions to confidentiality problems to limit future issues. Affected Population While exploring the concept of patient confidentiality, there are many individuals who are affected all across the country, particularly anyone in the health care field. The most notable are patients but physicians and health care employees run a close second mainly because they are handling patient files. Patient confidentiality includes any information such as test results, treatments, diagnoses, and personal information like name, age, and SS#s.
