Ethical Health Care Scenarios

QUESTION

HCS/335 Ethical Health Care Scenarios

Review the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician’s practice

Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician’s office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the practice. As a result, you are asked to “up-code” billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?

Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting

Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit. You just received a new patient who needs to be admitted to your unit and you just finished medicating a patient with a narcotic injection with a dose greater than ordered. Clearly understanding medication errors may lead to patient injury and even death, explain why a clinician may choose not to report the incident.

Scenario 3: Not hiring a qualified individual because of discrimination

Imagine you are a new human resources director in a nonprofit organization and have been pressured not to hire Middle Eastern candidates by the organization’s CEO. In the United States, discrimination against people based on their ethnicity, race, or cultural orientation is strictly forbidden under federal and state laws. Ethical discrimination may result in the breeding of ill feelings at work, as well as reduced productivity. To eliminate these ramifications, organizations need to put forth increased effort in curbing ethical discrimination in the employment sector. What are some interventions organizations can put in place to prevent discrimination?

Write a 150- to 350-word response for each ethical scenario. Include a title page with your name and your responses.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

System Intergration health care to improve efficiency

QUESTION

System Intergration health care to improve efficiency

System Intergration health care to improve efficiency  Advancements in technology have made it possible to incorporate systems within the functions of health care to improve efficiency across the organization.

Innovation is key because it drives productivity, reduces mistakes, and increases profitability. Determine an area within your organization where there is a need for systems integration — systems integration that will improve quality care and outcomes in the organization. Utilize your research from the Systems Research assignment on integrating processes within an organization. Create a Wire Diagram of the area needing systems integration. Illustrate how the processes and functions within the chosen area are connected and how they can be integrated. You can use any software program of your choosing to create this diagram. Note: Refer to Figure 14-4 Wire diagram of health care supply chain information systems on p. 359 of your textbook. (attached) Write a 525-word summary of your Wire Diagram addressing the following: • Provide a brief description of the system you selected. • Explain why the integration is needed and how the system will be used to improve the organization’s processes and quality? • Identify the stakeholders that will be effected by the new integration. • Determine how to best communicate the integration of the new product and which empowerment strategies you will use to help staff buy into the change. • Compare and contrast the different roles that leaders and managers will play in the integration of the new systems. Provide in-text citations and references for all sources cited; format according to APA
