Explanation / Answer

case study 1:

In this case study ,violation of stark law is observed.Stark law is a united state federal laws in which it denies the physician self refferal (has a financial benefit and interest)providing designated services to patients.It shows the improper contracts with physicians and also charging huge money to the patients.When such kind of situations happen the administrator should able to handle the staff by advising them not to get panicked and make sure that the situation will be handled as early as possible.He should also advice the staff not to receive any call from media so that more havoc occurs.Inform the media relations team as early as possible.Do not promise to give any interviews or meetings with media,it can be denied just by saying that they will get back to them later.

preventive plans: Seeking a qualified healthcare attorney to review all business and referal arrangements first will eliminate or drastically reduce the chances of Stark law violation happening.They can assist you and your organisation by avoiding potential penalties under Stark law by reviewing all business referral relationships.

corrective action should be taken with such scenarios as you are dealing with law,However huge penalties will be given by the government and it should be paid as the organisation did not meet the needs as per the requirement.Care should be taken that it should not be repeated again in future.

case study 2:

This is a very sensitive case,overcrowding is a major barrier for treating burn patients.Media should be stopped at the entrance itself by the security guards outside the organisation.If they have already swarmed inside,the situation must be handled very smartly and only requesting can work well in such situations.They must be requested to go out and alert should be made to all the security staff to make them rush out of the exit doors.Staff should not create any chaos and initial treatment should be started to all the patients.Arranging resources will also become a challenge to the hospital in such scenario borrowing from other hospitals is the best procedure to be followed.

preventive plans as i said should be the security staff who should be all the exit and entry doors.Handling in such situations can only be done by the involvement all the staff not only security staff and administrators but also by the other employees except doctors and nurses as they should not be disturbed when such disasters occur.

case study 3:

First of all the hospital should have a policy and standards to be followed in which the list of treatments should be displayed.Atleast the person should be given the medical emergency treatment and should just ask the physician what are the possible steps should be taken instead of speaking in phone for a long time with doctor.This is a complete negligence both by the doctor and the nurse,and they should be fired to prevent such kind of situations again.Medical insurance can be rectified by the patient by paying through cash atleast after the treatment.Training and awareness should be created in staff in how to handle such cases while they are medical emergency cases.
