Gatundu Hospital Case Summary

MMCC, a Medicaid managed care organization, is located in the low-income community of Baltimore City. It is positioned across from a major medical center that does not provide its services. MMCC seeks to reduce their medical loss ratio (MLRs). As part of their strategy, they enroll poor people of the community through incentives, utilize a distant medical center to provide their services, and cut back on administrative requirements. To get communities members to enroll, they offer turkeys to enrollees during holiday times. They fail to inform members that they must use the medical center across the city and not the one directly across from their location. Once a member of MMCC, the patients experience poor quality care. Operators are limited and cannot keep up with calls to make appointments. Health care delivery site’s parking lot has limited parking spaces. The waiting room has limited seating. The actions of MMCC are legally and ethically questionable.

A child minder or a nanny should contact the parents direct. It’s important to keep a record of symptoms of how they first appeared and how they have progressed. If the child who is unwell at school or nursery you will need to.

Part of our responsibility, as adults, is to inform ourselves so that we can participate in a constructive way in that equation.

Thanks for using this patient. I Can’t imagine how challenging it was for this child and her family prior to her diagnosis, as well as after.
