    Sac-Osage Hospital Case Analysis

    Sac-Osage Hospital is one of the many organizations in the health care industry that experienced similar weaknesses as Jackson Memorial. Sac-Osage Hospital encountered numerous problems that may have led to their financial instability. Although other factors such as combination of changing demographics, medical practices, management decisions and federal policies were some of the obstacles that led to Sac-Osage Hospital’s financial trouble; however, lack of internal control played a major role in the hospital’s financial struggles. Sac-Osage Hospital had an estimate loss of $1.5 million to $2 million in failure to filing insurance claims and account collection (The Times-Picayune, 2015). Jackson Memorial also struggled in the area of internal control. Furthermore, despite of a doctor’s effort to purchase the hospital to keep it open and running, it was unfortunately closed down (The Times-Picayune, 2015).…

    XYZ General Hospital Case Analysis

    Currently, XYZ General Hospital experiences a large turnover of nurses. In addition to GNs turnover, the experienced nurses are also leaving the bedside for advanced practice roles. Therefore, there is an increased pressure for GNs to take care the complex patients before they are well trained for the assignments. So the goal is to implement NRP to recruit and retain GNs by providing an intensive and structured training. Moreover, the vision of the hospital is to improve the patient experience through the delivery of high standards of care ("About us," 2015). The stakeholders of XYZ General Hospital are Board of Directors, unit managers, clinical specialists, donors of the hospital foundations, staff, and patients.…

    Huntsville Hospital Case Study

    Huntsville Hospital strives for perfection as well, unfortunately “never events” have occurred within the walls of the hospital. The National Quality Forum literally defines a “never event” as a preventable adverse event occurring in a health care setting that should never happen; like, wrong site surgery, patient falls, and medication errors as examples (Gitlow et al., 2013) A patient admitted to the hospital to receive right wrist surgery woke up with surgery to the left wrist. The event was researched, evaluated, reported, and resulted in changes within the institution. A malpractice case filed against the surgeon and the hospital existed and was settled. The adoption of the mandates of JCAHO allowed for implementation within Huntsville hospital to prevent wrong site surgery consists of many valuable steps such as; asking the patient what surgery and where, marking the surgical site with a permanent marker or using the alternative site marking form to identify, limb alert bands, and also the time-out, allowing anyone involved in the patient care to stop the procedure to ensure accuracy. The responsibility to improve quality patient care is assigned to each individual employee that works for a facility and will proceed in continuing to develop even higher quality, on top of the existing quality, CQI (Hashmi…

    Improve Er Wait Times

    Technology seems to have taken over these days. Smart phones, tablets, Nook, Kindle, MP3 players, laptops, and now smart televisions are just a few of the many advances so far. Hospitals should be using technology to increase efficiency. For example, “Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego and Chula Vista, CA, has implemented a computerized bed monitoring system that allows staff members to immediately fill vacant beds and keep patients moving throughout the hospital.” (some hospitals implement unique measures to improve ER wait times, 2008) By implementing this strategy hospital wait times have decreased. This makes the process more efficient by letting the ER now right away when a bed is available. “At Boston’s Beth Israel/Deaconess Medical…

    Concierge Medicine

    Medicine has changed in the past years in many ways. With the change and inventions of new cures, technology, and less invasive procedures, medicine has become a whole different world. Though there has been many enhancements that increase the productivity and treatment outcomes in medicine, the delivery method and care has changed along with it, and not for always for the best. Hospitals are what people find security and safety from all illness and diseases they have come across, but with the change of the economy and budget cuts, the first thing to cut is patient care and service. When people think of hospitals they think of long lines, waiting for hours for a simple procedure or question, medications that aren’t helpful and no care or relationship with the doctor. Patients get less time with physicians and more time with physician assistants and nurses. Many hospitals and clinics have made it known at the first meeting that after the initial appointment, the remainder of appointments will be either with the nurse practitioner or physician assistant. With less care and relationship from the physician, patients start to wonder why pay high dollar for less service, and that’s where the issue arises.…
