Discuss the problem of hospital culture
Examine the legal implications related to the healthcare organization’s compliance, including a review of existing case law that may be applicable to this particular case scenario. Review any legal requirements associated with the case such as documentation and reporting requirements. Analyze the ethical implications associated with the case. Be sure not to confuse ethical and legal implications. Discuss the problem of hospital culture if inappropriate behavior towards the patients is ignored or tolerated. Use the Joint Commission Framework for Conducting a Root Cause Analysis template to prepare a root cause analysis of an adverse event in the State v. Houle case. Use the organization plan of action/risk reduction strategies in the template (p.10) to prepare an action plan for managing the risk associated with this patient abuse event. As a result of assessing the situation and researching best practices, develop a comprehensive recommendation for the key decision makers of this healthcare organization addressing the business problems, opportunities, and a possible course of action.
