Leadership Styles in Health Care

Create a Powerpoint presentation Research different styles of leadership and identify three different styles that interest you.

There are MANY resources on leadership styles and some are more appropriate for fields/programs/majors than others. I am not directing you to any one ‘leadership style guide.’ I am however, asking you to select from a verified, credible source. Do NOT use about.com, Wikipedia, personal blogs, etc. Use both books to help identify characteristics of leaders that you find compelling. Different industries have different styles of leadership that are more or less meaningful. Sandberg as well as Kay & Shipman emphasize this frequently throughout their books. Please identify a leadership style that reflects the health care industry. There is NOT a one-size-fits-all for leadership. What works well in finance will differ from criminal justice and those would both differ from education. -Slide #1:Name and Title Slide (include Industry) -Slide #2 identify and define the three styles of leadership you researched, include a summary of each style -Slide #3: provide a pros and cons list for each of the identified styles, aim for at least 3 pros and cons for each (18 total pros and cons) -Slide #4: using the cultural information we have gathered during this module, explain how and why each of leadership styles may be perceived differently between a male and female leader. You cannot say, “there would be no difference” because as we have learned, that is not true from a systemic and cultural perspective. *citation Hyper link or should be included in the notes or at the bottom for each slide. Learn to speak all languages because a powerful presentation can be a powerful negotiation or persuasion tool. -40% Visual Appeal: Is the data presented concise yet informative? Are there too many words on the slide? Color Choices? Are the slide organized so that the data is easily read? 12 points -$0% Data: Thoughtful inclusion of leadership qualities for your Industry (hint: stay away from quick Google searches for “best leadership styles”) 15 Points -5% Citations: 3 Points -Poor Grammar or Misspellings can reduce points by up to 8 points

What must you check before releasing the patient records

/0 Comments/in , /by

Case Study: A member of the hospital’s medical staff has been accused of improperly billing Medicare for treatments done in his office that were not medically necessary. A subpoena for copies of patient records was received but the subpoena does not include a patient authorization for the release of records.

In addition, the subpoena requests all “peer review committee” records pertaining to this physician. Consider the following questions:

1) What must you check before releasing the patient records?

2) What legal concept described in this chapter will determine the admissibility of the hospital records into evidence?

3) The defendant’s lawyer objects to the subpoena, arguing that the patient records are “hear-say”. To resolve this issue, identify at least one element will likely be required in your testimony.

4) Your hospital attorney objects to the subpoena of the peer review committee materials, citing state law that protects peer review records from discovery. What legal concept describes this protection?

5)While acting on the subpoena, you discover that one of the patient records (which are electronic) has had major sections deleted. Your review of the audit trails determines that a hospital staff member was responsible for the deletions. Under what legal concept could the hospital be subject to liability for the deletions? What should have been done to protect the records? It must follow the case study writing guidelines by using the link below https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2597880/

Competition in Health Care

/0 Comments/in /by

Competition in Health Care One of the trends marking the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry is the dramatic increase in the pace of competition.

Then, prepare a three- to five-page paper in which you: Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations. Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.

Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence. Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have. Your paper must be three double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources that were published within the last five years.

One source must be obtained from the Ashford University Library and focus on competition health care. All sources must be documented in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
