Health Care Legalities and Ethics

A 12 page paper discussing a case in which an emergency room nurse turned away a patient delivered by ambulance.

The patient was suffering from an apparent broken leg after injuring it playing tennis on a city-owned court. When asked how he intended to pay the hospital’s bill, the patient replied that he would sue the city for the funds. The nurse determined that there were no serious injuries present and that the patient was stable, and then instructed the ambulance crew to transport the patient to a public facility.

Health Care Management: Organizational Structures
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper identifying the structural differences between community hospitals, major teaching hospitals and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). All are primary players in the overall health care industry, but each maintains a different focus in the industry. The purpose here is to identify the goals and performance measures of each type of health care organization. Each of these health care organizations ultimately exist to enable health care delivery, but each maintains a distinct position in the health care industry. Teaching hospitals promote a blend of standard practice and changing technique; community hospitals strive to stay attuned to the needs of the local area. HMOs seek to require both to be fiscally responsible in their treatment of individual patients. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Health Care Payment Systems: PPS
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper examining the nature of the PPS health care payment system. Within this system, Medicare essentially sets fee parameters throughout the country. It can be a challenge for care providers to operate within the constraints that Medicare’s accepted fee levels can impose, but care providers have little choice but to operate within the restraints that Medicare requires because of Medicare’s effect on private insurers. The end result is that prices increase for reasons not associated with market conditions at all, and greater numbers of Americans join the ranks of the uninsured as no one – individuals or small businesses – can keep up with price increases in insurance. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
