Hampton VA Medical Center Case Study

Decent Essays
The Hampton VA Medical Center “Primary Care Service” requires providers to have vast experience with treating a variety of complex medical needs. In addition to addressing these needs, the Hampton VA Medical Center Primary Care Service requires their Providers to have an ability to facilitate large panels that may exceed 980 patients. This experience may be derived from various settings such as, private, civilian, hospital based or government facilities. The accumulation of experience must translate to at least twenty-four (24) months. Although Ms. Champagne’s resume is impressive; unfortunately, her experience falls short of the minimum clinical requirement to facilitate the medical care that our veterans require.

    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.…

    Since the completion of Fort Belvoir Community Hospital on a 1.2 million square feet location in Virginia in 2011, the facility has been competing not only for the Department of Defense fund for Military Treatment Facility in the region but also for patronage of service members. Not only is it an exclusive treatment facility for service members as WRNMMC it also boasts of a 120 state-of-the-art inpatient rooms located in a newly completed seven-story tower (Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, 2016). In spite of the rivalry from its competitor, WRNMMC still maintains its advantage over its competitors as the preferred treatment facility for service members in the NCR. This is so because it is the only exclusive military treatment facility in the NCR that can cater for all their healthcare need whether it is routine or specialty care in one…

    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.…

    Abstract: Improving Post-Hospitalization follow-up for Veterans who are admitted into Non-VA facilities Objectives: VA policy mandates Non-VA facilities to notify the VA Transfer Center or Fee Basis department about Veterans’ admissions to initiate possible transfers and reviews for reimbursement.

Consequently, Veterans who are admitted into Non-VA facilities do not receive appropriate and timely post-hospitalization care with their VA primary care teams. The objective of this quality improvement project is to improve post-hospitalization follow-up for Veterans who are admitted into Non-VA facilities by facilitating communications among Transfer…

    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.…

    The MITRE Corporation’s evaluation suggested that the VHA adopt a systems approach to address its most challenging problems: access, quality, cost, and patient experience. A systems approach to health care is an approach that applies scientific insights to understand the elements that influence health outcomes; models the relationships between those elements; and alters design, processes, or policies based on the resultant knowledge in order to produce better health at lower cost (Kaplan, et al, 2014). Additionally, in order to improve Veterans’ access to care, the Department of Veterans Affairs need to improve retention and recruitment of health and mental health personnel in the VHA. To address the issue of limited access to primary care providers, the VA should consider including veteran care facilities in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC), which helps bring health care to those who need it most. The NHSC is a Federal government program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Health Workforce which provides loan repayment and scholarships to its…
