Management Tools For Health Care Organizations To Compl

From the list below, choose one topic and identify two specific legal obligations that a specific health service organization has to its patients and then write a paper discussing all the areas listed in the outline following this subject list. Include a cover page and a list of references at the end of the paper. Paper will be double spaced and be approximately 4-5 pages in 12 point New Times Roman font.

Outline: Must use the underlined headings from the outline below in your paper and the paper must be in narrative form not outline or bullet format.

1. Official Title of the Law or Laws: State the official title of the federal and/or state law, the statute and section numbers. For example, Federal law is written like “18 USC 1801”. Must be either a federal statute/state statute or you must cite both statutes, if applicable. Thus if there is both a federal and state law that covers the subject you picked then you must cite both. Do not assume that there is just a federal and or state law. In most cases there is both a federal and state law. You must use the laws cited in this section throughout the rest of the paper.
2. Health Care Organization’s Obligations to meet Patients’ Legal Rights: Describe in detail two specific legal obligations, required by the federal and or state law, that a health care organization owes to its patients. Include the specific law citation that describes the patient’s rights. Use in-text citations for all statistical references.
3. Consequences for Non-Compliance: First, discuss in general the civil and criminal consequences from either the federal and or state law. List the two legal obligations from the previous section, then discuss two (2) specific consequences from the federal and or state law, one consequence for each legal obligation, for the organizations’ non-compliance. Then for each consequence you must research and discuss one relevant real life case. Cases must be found via the internet or print media or from personal real life experiences. In other words, what would happen if the organization neglected to meet its obligations to its patients? Be specific. Provide the specific Federal and or state law citations to back up your claim of the consequences. Provide link to source of information. Example: 1) Legal obligation 1 – a specific consequence – a real life case. 2) Legal obligation 2 – a specific consequence – a real life case.
4. Health Service Organization Management Actions to meet Legal Obligations for Patients’ Rights: Describe in detail three (3) specific management actions, within your control as a health care manager that you would institute, to ensure the health care organization complies with its obligations to protect the patients’ rights. Be specific as to each management action you would personally institute and why. These actions may include specific uses of technology, procedures, human resource training, and other management tools.
5. Conclusion: Summary of your findings above.
6. Reference List [APA Format]: At the end of the paper, include a list of references formatted in APA style.

The paper must be:

• Typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, with margins no wider than one inch
• Include a cover page with your name, course name, date, instructor’s name, and a short title describing the legal responsibility of the organization regarding one patient right
• Footnote all facts in the paper, using sequential numbers starting with "1" that correspond to full citations at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be at the end of the entire paper, not at the bottom of each page.
• Use credible sources such as legal statutes, scholarly articles, and reputable cases. Do not cite Wikipedia.
• Include a References section with properly formatted citations for all sources used.
• Ensure the narrative flows logically following the outline, without bullet points or outline format.
