Nursing Documentation and Malpractice Law HCS/545 Health Law and Ethics May 31, 2010 Mary Nell Cummings Nursing Documentation and Malpractice Lawsuits Proper medical documentation can prevent liability issues and malpractice lawsuits.

The entire staff throughout the company was recently informed of increased Medicare denials and possible lawsuits as results of inadequate documentations. A series of education training of documentation was implemented to help reduce episodes of Medicare payment denials and self-protection through adequate documentation.
The first step would be to employ provider relations representatives. In most plans, there are people who are fully responsible for maintaining communications with the physicians and their office staff. Their job includes obtaining feedback from the physicians and office staff, updating them on changes, troubleshooting, maintaining and managing the contracts and other required documents, and to keep things running properly. This function is extremely important and the provider relations staff must be experienced. It is important for them to represent the physician’s point of view to plan management, but they should not side against the health plan unless they are truly at fault.

HCA 250 | Change and Innovation | By: Roger Hart | Instructor: Carolyn Hart | University of Phoenix | 10/30/2011 | At times change can be a scary thing, special when you have an office filled with employees who have been used to doing things one way for so long that the thought of having to learn something new is more of a frustration more than anything else. I have planned an office meeting with my employees to explain the (EMR) electronic medical record computerized style and why it is so important to change to this form from the old way, because now we can store, retrieve and modify patients records and share them all over the world to other doctors and specialist by a click of a button. By allowing the employees
Hospital member CEOs all have service lines reporting to them and must answer to key stakeholders. The attached stakeholder diagrams show on macro and micro levels the stakeholders that have some say in UMMS’ day to day operations. UMMS must answer to labor unions that represent unionized employees who can form “strikes” and hamper daily hospital routine. Third party payers, managed care organizations (MCOs) along with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) reimbursed UMMS for services rendered thereby affecting the system’s “bottom line”. Other stakeholders include nonhospital corporate services that deal with the board, local community physicians who operate privately but see patients at UMMS.
Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined. I have not decided on which field of nursing I would like to specialize in yet but I just imagine myself as a general nurse, working in a hospital setting. A Registered Nurse (RN) is not a doctor assistant; a RN gets to treat wounds, give IV’s and basically get to treat their own patients. Right now my main priority is to stay focused on taking all necessary steps to pursuing Nursing as a career.Gwendolyn Mink describes most Registered Nurses as working directly with the patients and their families. They are the families’ contact with the medical world, in the hospital and at the patients’ home.
If there was no administrative aspect o, then a hospital quite simply would fall apart. According to the International Association of Administrative Professionals (AIT) code of ethics, “individuals who are responsible for administrative tasks and coordination of information in support of an office related environment and who are dedicated to furthering their personal and professional growth in their chosen profession” are considered administrative professionals. I do not expect to instantly be hired into a company and be on top. Everyone must work their way up the ladder, because before you get placed into a high-up position at your work, you must prove yourself. Administrative Professionals have two parts responsibility to their position, they must have the administrative aspect of the job down as well as acting in a professional manner.
Ethical Health Care Scenario Brandee C. Robinson October 5th, 2015 Audrey Crooms Ethical Health Care Scenarios Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician practice Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the physician practice. As a result, you are asked to "up-code" billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation? Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit.
I have been on the side of being a patient at home for home infusions. When you are sick and have anxiety about your health, someone coming into your home, and all the medical equipment delivered can all be overwhelming. Being a patient can be very stressful and my intervention is to educate my patients, listen to my patients, and explain I have been a homecare patient also. I explain my personal experiences with my patients and it helps to relieve stress, they feel more open to asking questions, and feel confident of the nursing care they are receiving. The ethical factor of the theory is dealing with issues that do not have a concrete answer.
