    Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products. Just like any ordinary business, these products would have cost objects and would require an accounting system. In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.…

    Spina Bifida Research Paper

    Fetal surgeons perform a laparotomy (an incision across the mother’s abdomen), the uterus is opened and the baby’s back is rotated into view. A pediatric neurosurgeon removes the MMC sac, if one is present, and closes skin over the defect to protect the spinal cord from exposure to the amniotic fluid. The uterus and the abdominal incision are then closed. A maternal-fetal medicine specialist performs sterile intraoperative ultrasound to map the position of the placenta and the fetus, and a fetal cardiologist uses echocardiography (ultrasound to assess the fetal heart) to examine fetal heart function during the surgery. These measures are used to ensure the utmost maternal and fetal safety. (“The Children’s Hospital of…

I didn’t do it myself but the assessment of the neonate was interesting because they let the mother hold the baby after assessment because he expressed crying at birth, but if not that shows respiratory distress that would not have allowed the skin to skin touch that the mother was able to experience.…

    Sonography - Essay

    There are so many things that can go wrong during pregnancies and ultrasounds are an amazing way in detecting abnormalities early on. Amniocentesis is a common test, which uses amniotic fluids to help detect genetic birth defects. Ultrasound is used to guide the needle into the womb. When I was 41 weeks pregnant I had an ultrasound done and they found that I had very little to no amniotic fluids to help support my child, which lead me to be induced the same day. They can also help detect structural abnormalities, spina bifida, heart defects, and dwarfism. After my experience I wanted to help mothers be able to detect anything during their pregnancy. Not only can sonography do all this but being a single…

During those months, they measured her belly size, took sugar and blood tests, and listened to his heartbeat. For her 3rd trimester appointments, she was tested for GBS and also took pelvic exams. The doctor also checked for the baby’s position as well as to check for cervical changes. Mother 1 was forced to marry a man of an older age who showed no particular interest in his wife or raising the child. The father was out gambling and did not return until many years after the childbirth. As for mother 2, the father was unable to be present because he was locked in prison during and after the childbirth.
