Introduction:
It is my first day of work as an Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Faith Community Hospital and I have been faced with several challenges that need my immediate attention. ...
Problem Overview:
Medical Errors ¡V The hospital faces legal and moral issues in regards to medical errors. ...
Inconsistency in Medical Services ¡V The hospital has had incidences where some patients have refused recommend medical services, and we also have some staff members who refuse to administer recommend medical services.
DNR Inconsistencies ¡V While the hospital does have a DNR directive, it has no clear policy on the use of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders.
Failure to employ current DNR Policy ¡V Despite the fact the hospital does have a DNR policy in place; the directives are not being implemented as directed. ...
Case Study 3
Caregivers refusing treatment to the uninsured ¡V Some caregivers are refusing treatment to anyone that does not have confirmed insurance. ... I propose that the hospital move to a computerized order system. ...
Case Study 1
Inconsistency in Medical Services ¡V The hospital must devise and implement policies that will layout ground rules for treatment and treatment options. ... This will at least hold the hospital harmless should complications arise due to lack of treatment. ...
A policy must be put into place that will take into account religious beliefs, such in the case Jehovah Witnesses not being able to administer blood products. There must also be a means for staff members to have their reasons for non-treatment heard before final action is taken by the hospital.
DNR Inconsistencies ¡V The hospital does have in place a DNR policy.
