Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Case Study

Decent Essays
In my opinion, in this case Cedars-Sinai Medical center wins. Because the installation of the pace maker was a service provided by the medical center. The pacemaker was manufactured by American Technology Inc, hence this company should be held liable for any defect in its product. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was not involved in either manufacturing or selling or distributing or testing of the pacemaker. So it is not liable for any injury caused to Frances Hector.
Under the uniform commercial code article 2 is entitled sales. Section 2-102 states that its coverage applies to transaction of goods. Some transaction involves combination of sales and service which are called mixed sales. In this case the transaction between Frances Hector and Cedar-Sinai

In fact, the record in this case includes evidence that Montefiore staff and agents have engaged in false swearing and testimony. In addition, the record proves that Montefiore Medical Center and its staff completed or caused to be completed a healthcare proxy by an elderly patient that is both completed and witnessed by only Montefiore staff. One of the staff members who signed the proxy as a witness is the doctor/healthcare provider who demanded the patient to receive a PICC line (catheter for intravenous delivery of drugs) for more than four weeks.

    Critique of the Rhea Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment Rhea Medical Center conducted their most recent Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2016. The CHNA data applies to people living in the geographic areas of Dayton, Graysville, Evensville, Spring City and Grandview, all communities of Rhea County, Tennessee (Rhea Medical Center, 2016, p. 11). One thing that surprised me in the CHNA was of the top 15 causes of death in the United States, nine occurred at "Higher than expected" rates in Rhea County (Rhea Medical Center, 2016, p. 30). This is disturbing as I have lived in Rhea County most of my life and have always considered it a safe and healthy place to live. Also surprising, were the mortality and premature death rates, which according to the CHNA are also both higher in Rhea County than the state and national averages.…

    Your healthcare organization, Harris Memorial Hospital, needs to look at both “hard” and “soft” savings when considering a system’s return on investment. Today’s presentation we will take a deeper look at the soft returns when implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system. It is important to remember that indirect savings are usually applied to processes not easily measured and, thus, quantifying savings can be difficult to see at first. We will look at the three steps in documenting soft returns: (1) identifying a process improvement opportunity, which is improved time/efficiency; (2) create a formula to calculate the benefits; (3) and determine the costs of the process and the net benefits. In order to determine the return benefits from EHR implementation, it is necessary to establish baseline metrics that can be used as a guideline for measuring success after the implementation.…

    Lease is a contract renting land, buildings to another; a contract or instrument conveying property to another for a specified period or for a period determinable at the will of either lessor or lessee in consideration of rent or other compensation. Laws relating to the sale of goods, in other words, sales law, have their origin in the common law principles of contracts. Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), however, which governs sales law, has made changes that meet the needs of merchants and consumers who deal with one another contractually in a modern business world. In effect, the UCC has relaxed the rules relating to sales transactions by removing many of the technical requirements relating to contracts under the common law. Under the UCC, it is now far easier to form a binding sales contract.…
