State Reporting Requirements for Hospitals

Hospitals must report certain types of information to their state department of health and other state agencies. The specific requirements differ from state to state, and can change over time as well. What remains constant, however, is the need for efficient and accurate methods for meeting these reporting requirements.

To prepare for this Discussion research the statutory requirements for hospital reporting in your state, or another state of interest to you. The National Academy for State Health Policy report in this week’s Learning Resources will provide a good start to your research, but you should do further exploration to fill out your understanding of the state reporting requirements by hospitals in your selected state.

With these requirements in mind, consider the following:

• What data are needed to fulfill these reporting requirements?
• Select a particular type of hospital, such as a small community hospital or a large urban facility within a multi-state hospital system, and identify challenges this institution might encounter in complying with these requirements.
• Review the health information systems you have learned about so far in this course, and do further exploration, as needed, to identify systems that would help in capturing, processing, and providing the data required for those reports.

Post by Day 4 a response to the following:

• Summarize the state’s reporting requirements for hospitals.
• Analyze challenges that these requirements might pose to your selected type of hospital.
• Propose which hospital IT systems might be used to produce the data necessary for these reports. If multiple systems could be used, select which one you think is best and state why.
• Briefly, describe at least one way in which these reporting requirements contribute to the public’s health, and one way in which this reporting benefitsthe organization providing the data.

From the e-Activity and the case study, determine how market commonality and resources similarity impact. Apple’s competitive standing in terms of its main rivals. Provide specific examples to support your response.

 

Determine what additional steps Apple’s competitors are likely to take and how Apple will most likely repond.

Describe an instance when your job as a was made more difficult and/or less pleasant because of poor communication on the part of your organization and/or manager.

What went wrong in that instance?

How could the negative impacts have been ameliorated or avoided?

Distinguish between various communication obstacles and apply strategies to mitigate their negative effects when dealing with organizations on a global scale.

Support your comments by discussing one or more examples from the contemporary environment. Using APA standards, cite at least one story from popular media (newspaper, radio, television, internet, podcast, etc.).

• magine you represent a person who claims to have been the victim of a breach of contract. Determine the information that you would need to know to best determine if there was a contract. How would you present a case to a court to show your client was the victim of a breach of contract, and how would you overcome the defenses to the alleged breach? Be sure to use legal terms and concepts from the reading to support your analysis.

respone :

To determine and prove if my client had suffered from breach of contract, I would first need to prove that there was a valid and defensible contract in place.  I would show the value that each party had to gain (consideration) as well as the legality of the contract.  I would then prove that each party had the legal ability to join into a contract (capacity) and that there was no fraud intended and there were no mistakes or innocent misrepresentation.  I would then advise the court whether the contract was in writing and if not, prove that there was no requirement for a written contract.

Next I would provide that strict performance was not enabled and then move to the nature of the breach of contract.  I would show the material nature of the breach (how my client was substantially harmed by the breach) and show that we acted within the statute of limitations to file our suit.  The statute would depend on the state the case was being tried and would also consider if this was a written or oral contract (3 – 5 years depending on contract type, state, etc.).  At this point I feel that I would have proven my client suffered from breach of contract However as an additional step to make sure I could overcome any objections to the alleged breach I’d also need to make sure that impossibility did not apply.  This would mean further understanding the reason for the breach and insuring that it did not involve destruction of the subject matter, death of the promisor or that the purpose of the contract still remained legal.  If none of these were the case then the contract was not truly impossible and even if the issue was because it had become a financial burden

nternal Controls and Receivables” Please respond to the following:

• Use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research companies who have experienced misappropriation of assets or loss of customer information within the last five (5) years. Next, analyze the situation from the company you selected and the internal controls that may have been compromised to allow the problem to occur and the resulting financial impact to the business. Propose a plan to prevent this type of situation in the future.
• Assess the external and internal factors that influence credit policy and decision making within a company that extends credit to its customer when providing a good or service on account. Indicate the factor of most significance in today’s business environment. Provide support for your rationale.

Imagine you are a recently-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a midsize company preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). You quickly discover multiple personnel problems that require your immediate attention.

 

1. John posted a rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer.
2. Ellen started a blog to protest the CEO’s bonus, noting that no one below director has gotten a raise in two (2) years and portraying her bosses as “know-nothings” and “out-of-touch”
3. Bill has been using his company-issued BlackBerry to run his own business on the side.
4. After being disciplined for criticizing a customer in an email (sent from his personal email account on a company computer), Joe threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy.
5. One of the department supervisors requests your approval to fire his secretary for insubordination. Since the secretary has always received glowing reviews, you call her into your office and determine that she has refused to prepare false expense reports for her boss.
6. Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission.

 

As an astute manager, you will need to analyze the employment-at-will doctrine and determine what, if any, exceptions and liabilities exist before taking any action. As you proceed with your investigation, you discover the company has no whistleblower policy.

 

In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research your state’s employment-at-will policy.

 

Write a four to five (4) page paper in which you:

 

1. Summarize the employment-at-will doctrine discussed in the text and then evaluate three (3) of the six (6) scenarios described by determining:
   1. Whether you can legally fire the employee; include an assessment of any pertinent exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine.
   2. The primary action(s) that you should take to limit liability and impact on operations; specify the ethical theory that best supports your decision.
2. Examine your state’s policy on employment-at-will. Analyze at least one (1) real-world example of an employee or employer utilizing your state’s employment-at-will doctrine in the last five (5) years. Include a summary of the main issue and the outcome in the identified real-world example.
3. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
