Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System
Administration
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S.
health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge
of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with
medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care
administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of
professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that
they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be
applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also
subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of
their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications
and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the
hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired,
your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any
violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5)
years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the
hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to
undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee
conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the
past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for
breach of medical compliance.
