This paper strives to answer questions based on the case study “Emanuel Medical Center: Crisis in the Health Care Industry”. As excerpted directly from the case study, Mr. Robert Moen, Emanuel Medical Center (EMC) president and CEO, was experiencing a number of challenges in 2002. The medical center faced numerous challenges in its external and internal environment. First, EMC garnered an onslaught of negative attention for the “Haley Eckman incident” in which a young man, who happened to be a gang member, died within view of EMC’s Emergency Department (ED) medical personnel rendered no care and watched. The emergency department at EMC was also experiencing greater pressure to deliver services in an increasingly

The emergency room has the ability to care for a total of 6 patient’s requiring immediate emergency care, but has the capability to fly patients out to other facilities if required. Dignity Health of Merced is the larger of the two facilities and cares for the majority of the population of Merced County. Dignity Health has a total of 194 beds available. Dignity Health has approximately 10,900 admissions per year and total emergency room visits equaling around 66,000 per year. On a typical weekend the emergency room will see about 250 patients between the hours of 7 a.m. and7 p.m. (M. Parker RN, personal communication, June 8, 2012). Also serving the community are 8 primary clinics. The majority of these clinics are located within the city limits of Merced and Los Banos. Those located outside of these locations will have to drive upto 30 minutes to obtain medical services. Merced County also has five psychiatric facilities, only 2 of which are capable of admitting patients. Country Villa Merced Behavioral Health Center has 96 beds available for the community and has the ability to care for long-term patients between the ages of 18 to 65 years of age (Country Villa Merced Behavioral Health Center, 2012). Marie Green Psychiatric Center is a smaller facility that has the ability to admit upto 20 patients between the ages of 18 to 65 years of age, but this is a short term

Medicare has instituted policies to help regulate cost on these outliers which includes standardized payments, risk adjustments and bundle payments. CMS uses standardized payment rates to determine its Medicare spending per beneficiary (MSPB) .Medicare standardizes the allowed amount for the MSPB. This method looks at the different Fee for Service (FFS) payments and identifies the factors to adjust. Once you remove the differences this should help even out the variability in payments and give a more accurate picture of how resources

Four performance measuring components under MIPS will collectively make up the overall MIPS Composite Performance Score (CPS) to evaluate the performance in terms of quality and value of care by the eligible clinicians to earn adjusted Medicare payments. Each component of the MIPS carry weight to the overall composite performance score. Measuring criteria followed by MIPS underlies on evidence based clinical quality measures and specialty-specific standards which are reviewed as well supported by clinical leaders and endorsed under consensus process driving towards positive

The capitals of Montana, Idaho, and Utah all have their own individual hospitals. In this scenario, they want a medical facility capable of things that require new technology, however. Instead of each city building their own, the three cities want to share one. The assignment is to find the fairest center point for the facility between the three capitals.

Information technology helps the organizations achieve many targets. The following is a needs assessment conducted in the Valley Hospital Medical Center, to determine the technology needs. This hospital does not lack an advanced technology, still, it has room for further improvement. For instance, they use the latest version of a computer program for the patient documentation. They make sure that the program gets updated as needed. There are no issues for any employee or department of this institution on accessing or documenting using this program.

Medicare has instituted policies to help regulate cost on these outliers which includes standardized payments, risk adjustments and bundle payments. CMS uses standardized payment rates to calculate its Medicare spending per beneficiary (MSPB) for the hospital value-based purchasing program (VBP). Medicare standardizes the allowed amount for the MSPB. This method looks at the different Fee for Service (FFS) payments and identifies the factors to adjust such as local wages, input prices and disproportionate share hospitals (DSH). Once you remove the differences this should help even out the geographic variability in payments and give a more accurate picture of how resources are used between providers and across the nation. Another way to control cost on outliers is to identify those patients that will use the most resources, this is known as

At Saint Mary’s hospital I got to observe an aneurysm clipping. The patient was a fifty-four year-old male. He weighed 77.1 kilograms and had no allergies known. Also, his history included chronic alcohol and nicotine abuse. He was not on any medications at home.

The Healing Hospital Paradigm
The inception of the “Healing Hospital” is not new. Healing hospitals in various forms have been around throughout history. As hospitals were slowly taken over by religious orders they became more holistic concentrating on all aspects of healing including physical, mental, and spiritual. Instead of focusing on the patient as a carrier of disease and death they began to look at them as a person that has certain fundamental needs for existence. One of these needs as fore mentioned is spirituality. Spirituality simply defined “is that which relates to or affects the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirituality touches that part of you that is not dependent on material things or

Healing hospital paradigm is centered on the removal of stress and other health risks for the patients and their families in the hospital environment. Healing hospital paradigm is important because treating a patient’s illness is not the only intrinsic component when they are admitted to the hospital. A good example for this is stress. Stress can be brought about due to many things when a patient is in the hospital, for example painful treatments, financial problems due to being admitted, loss of social life etc. Reducing these sort of stressors may ensure that the patient’s wellbeing is being maintained and the comprehensive care Minimization of these stressors ensures that the patient’s well-being is maintained while the comprehensive

That’s the sound of crossing the stupid line.This all started with our health teacher Mr. Crossley, asking if any grade 9’s wanted to go on the trip to Foothills Hospital for a program. In the jolly of my heart I raised my hand as quick as I can for a permission slip to the P.A.R.T.Y Program.

The People's Hospital applies corporate governance in the management of the company. The management and employees of The People's Hospital are guided by set values that determine the ethics and integrity of each employee.  Moreover, the values of the hospital are used in the determination of the corporate governance in recognizing the responsibilities of patients, employees, shareholders and the community at large. Excellent corporate governance results from the cohesive coordination of resources and responsibilities among all entities of an organization. Commitment of the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital to this objective, in support of all directors/administrators, shareholders of the hospital results in good governance. However, my father's health was compromised at People's Hospital, a factor that questioned the adherence to corporate governance. My father was given wrong medication that worsened his health state and complicated his recovery process.

The practice of co-branding is a relatively new technique utilized in the health care industry, which applies when one organization markets its name alongside another brand name. In this example of co-branding, the government of Vietnam wants to create an affiliation with Stanford Medical Center and its major national hospital in Saigon. This venture would include sending clinicians over to Vietnam to monitor, train and help and monitor its quality programs. In this situation, the Vietnamese hospital is looking to gain benefit from the Stanford Medical Center in what can be termed the “halo of affection” that belongs belong to the well-know and well-respected academic medical center. The Stanford Medical Center brand managers should be
