The HIM professional can have a direct impact on the quality or compliance of specific operations or employees within a healthcare institution. Healthcare institutions, such as hospitals, can be huge institutions made up of hundreds or even thousands of treatment or operation specific areas operation. This can include anything from the surgeon who performs coronary artery bypass to the neonatal intensive care nurse who directly cares for struggling newborns to the physical plant worker who makes sure all the lights in the building stay on and the operating room is maintained at a certain temperature. As an overall institution the thought of identifying risk and liability within the organization can be quite overwhelming and daunting. The best way to approach this is to break things down into specific issues or areas and focus on one thing at a time, with the overall goal to be improving quality and reducing risk to the institution. This paper will focus on three specific scenarios that represent an area of risk and liability for the institution. These three scenarios will include the safety of blood transfusions within a hospital, dealing with power failure risks within a hospital and using operational checklists to improve employee efficiency, consistency and reducing the human factor of making mistakes.…
In his novel, Eaters of the Dead, author Michael Crichton shows how the Volga Northmen were able to defeat their foes, the wendol, by using their intellect instead of their weapons. This is seen in four aspects. The theme of the novel is that physical courage is not enough to preserve your culture and lifestyle: intelligence and superior knowledge are absolutely essential. Conflict between the wendol and the Northmen shows which group has the intelligence to eliminate the other. Symbolism of wisdom, knowledge, and the lack of such things are used by Crichton to illustrate this moral. The juxtaposition of characters emphasizes the cleverness of the Volga Northmen compared to the Venden Northmen.…

“I hate my job!” It is a statement that has been heard forever and one that will most likely be heard in the future. Nearly 70% of United States workers dislike their jobs (Gallup poll). Many American workers believe they need to work for the money. Not to contribute to society. The article “Take This Job and Shove It” greatly emphasizes this point and explains the uselessness of “Nickel and dime jobs.” The purpose of parallelism in Theodore Roszak’s article “Take This Job and Shove It” is to help convince the audience that the amount of jobs there are today are not necessary and most are not useful.…
For example, consider a nurse administrator who makes a severe medication dose mistake. If one of the reasons leading the nurse to make the error is that she is working a third shift, or has a heavy patient load, or is not ineffectively trained, whose responsibility is that? Health care management needs to efficiently manage for all patient safety just as they manage for efficacy and profit maximization. Continuous nonmalficence and beneficent safety must become part of what a health care organization prides itself on.…
“Negligence as defined by Black’s Law Dictionary (1979) and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO, 2002) is the “failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent and careful person would use under similar circumstances.” It is the predominant theory of liability in medical malpractice litigation (King, 1986) (Weld. Garmon. Bibb. 2009.).” During…
