The reached decision of the Supreme Court for the Federal Trade Commission v. Phoebe Putney Health System, Inc. will have a long term effect on the FTC’s procedural process. This decision reached will now require the FTC to determine a standard verifying whether acquiring deals fall within the state-action exemption clause if or when pertaining to antitrust laws. The conclusion of this case has therefore placed undue strain on how the state 's legislature may now assign authority to organizations of local government. This pressure makes the Federal Trade Commission’s job that much more difficult to accomplish because in some instances there procedures must be adjusted on a situational basis only. In addition, the ruling has affected the process

Fact: This class action involves a multi-faceted attack against certain medication and seclusion policies allegedly followed at the May and Austin Units of the Boston State Hospital (Hospital), a state institution for the mentally ill. The named plaintiffs, all either voluntary or involuntary patients at one time or another at these facilities, seek injunctive relief for the class,[1] and award of money damages for themselves.

Plaintiffs allege that these policies infringed on the constitutional rights of Hospital patients.
When I was in ninth grade, I went to a service trip to the Vivian Pellas Hospital in Nicaragua which provides a holistic and comprehensive care program to children suffering from burns, especially those from low income families, called Aproquen. The doctor explained the process of the care that was given and the personal stories from some of the suffered children. As the doctor kept explaining, the psychologist’s office caught my sight. I kept looking into the office where the psychologist was speaking with an injured child, however, they were both smiling brightly. The doctor, whom was explaining to the class, had mentioned that the children are injured both physically and mentally, and that it is easier to cure the children physically than
In discussions of Danny Thomas and his creation of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I believe this point in time was important because, it provided help for families to get the proper treatment and care their children fighting against illnesses need. The following points illustrate the importance of this turning point in time: Danny’s reason for starting the hospital, the research the hospital does to treat children, and how the hospital raises the money it needs. This person impacted me because what he started saved a lot of children’s lives. After struggling with his acting career for a while Danny Thomas went to a church in Detroit. "Show me my way in life, and I will build you a shrine" Danny vowed to St. Jude Thaddeus, a patron saint of hopeless causes.
Mandatory overtime is an issue faced by many nurses across the nation. It is seen as a solution to the nursing shortage crisis; however, it is not a sustainable solution as it has led to an increase in medical errors, increased patient mortality, decreased job satisfaction, nurse fatigue, and deficits in nurse’s work performance. Several states have enacted or are considering laws to prohibit this problem. According to Rubenfire, “This is something that's been going on in hospitals for a very long time,” Ruben noted. “But it is not as focused on as much in the past.”
Although, all goals are important, to succeed at reaching goals, the manager has to prioritize the goals according to what needs to be tackle first. When a person has set more than one goal, it is appropriate to give each goal a priority, to avoid a person from feeling overwhelmed, and it assists in identifying the goal that needs prompt attention. The manager at Smiley hospital should define the various job descriptions and communicate information to the staff to determine if they know their role, then concentrate on fostering morale in the process to prevent employees from getting discourage that could lead to possible turnovers. Next, change evaluations so that it can measure correctly and then reevaluate staff based on the new evaluation
What was once thought of as a profession driven by compassion and the desire to help those in need has now become filled with weary burnt out nurses who have lost sight of their purpose. Stress has caused them to distance themselves from the principles nursing is built upon. Our health care system needs to be revamped to improve the quality of care being administered. Nurses can be proactive and take steps to avoid burning out but, our health care administrators have to take matters into their hands because they have the capacity to initiate change. They must realize the gravity of the situation and take an offensive position to make a stand against the crisis of nursing
I regard nurses as a different or high breed of professionals advocating for patients daily and playing a crucial role to deliver the optimum patient care. Nurses are typically known “called to serve” and unlikely to put their interest s behind those of their patients. However, it is very important for nurses to have a voice collectively to represent them via labor union. Some of the reasons of unionization include better wages and benefits, better working conditions, and job security. More often, the desire to unionize can typically be attributed to workers’ perceptions of management as unfair and when they feel that they are not valued or respected by their employer, and other reasons that cannot be measured by dollars (McConnell, 2011,
Due to hospital care reaching an all-time high in America, we need nurses now more than ever before. Currently in America, we have an issue with nurses having too many paperwork to fill out. In the article “We Need More Nurses” by Alexandra Robbins argues we need more nurses in the hospital. Nursing shortage has been a common issue throughout the world. Because of this issue others are being affected in many different ways.
Based on this case the cost driver is to properly distribute the direct cost among the different divisions. Dr. Julian would like to control her departments costs by having them distributed fairly among the divisions without affecting the hospital’s reimbursement/revenue. Carroll University Hospital is currently using the standard costing unit, which is based on the cost of bed/day for inpatients. Currently the present cost accounting system that is being used at CUH takes the total direct cost of the departments, then allocates the indirect costs and distributes it among the departments evenly regardless of the actual resources being used in those departments, and without considering that there may be some patients in these divisions that may require more resources than others, this method does not seem to recognize the different activities,
Hello Mengting, I support your idea during first paragraph; I think the nurse should think for profit and not profit community hospital. Also, nurses have to think for extrinsic and intrinsic factors because they need motivation through job. I agree with your idea through section two, extrinsic factors are external rewards and in outside individual. If the nurse work in the not profit community hospital, he/she needs support, such as money.
