Triage is used to decide who is to be treated first. “Triage is the sorting of patients to determine the priority of their health care needs and the proper site for treatment” (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014, p. 2156).

    Discharging Patients to Long Term Acute Care Facilities

    The patient’s discharge plan was determined before she was even admitted to the hospital for this most recent surgery, since she came directly from LTACH. Those involved in deciding her plan of care upon discharge included the LTACH Liaison, Kathleen Diehl, as well as her physician Dr. Miller, her surgeon, Dr. Knoll, the wound nurses and the floor nurses. The medical team is coordinated by the Case Manager on the Surg-Ortho unit and the LTACH Liaison. According to Kim Cruz, the Admissions Coordinator at LTACH, typically the patient’s nurse or doctor will refer the patient to the LTACH Liaison, who will then interview the patient and review their records to determine if they meet the criteria for admission to LTACH, which is…

    He has to make sure that the process for treating all passengers is fair, and how to process the treating of patients’ needs first. The principles of triage instruct me to administer medicine first to those for whom treatments is likely to make the difference between life and death. I shouldn’t waste too much time with those who are beyond help. Following the rules without fail can come at the expense of compassion. In a situation where every minute counts and lives are at state, your rights and responsibilities is more than willing to let compassion slide.…

    In 1964 Congress passed a Civil Rights law that outlawed major forms for discrimination against African Americans and women. One of the major features of this law was Title VII which prohibits discrimination by employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

    Right to Discharge

    Discharge from the hospital is the point at which a patient leaves the hospital and returns home or is transferred to a rehabilitation facility or a nursing home. The discharge process typically centers on the specific medical instructions which will encourage the healing process necessary for a full recovery by the patient. The planning process or discharge planning is also a service which fully integrates the recovering patient’s needs just after the hospital stay. In many instances, the discharge plan may includes ancillary services such as visiting nursing care, out patient physical therapy, home blood drawing, or even neuropathy observation.

    Constructive Discharge Laws

    As you are aware, a lawsuit was recently filed by a former employee. The suit against us is being filed under the constructive discharge section of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In essence, the section states that we made working conditions completely intolerable for the employee, through some form of hostility, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or humiliation (Sommerville, 2007). Said employee quit after our policy change on expanded production floor operation hours. The former employee maintains that we made working conditions intolerable because we would be forcing him or her to work on a religious holy day. The key in this particular case, of course, is that the former employee is alleging religious discrimination based on the requirement of working certain days of the week that match holy or reserved days for their faith.…
