    Why talk about Anderson v GMC or even Keck v Wesley Medical Center? Because staffing is still an issue. It will become more of an issue as reimbursement continues to be curtailed. Moreover, as patient ratios are increasingly mandated, and studies of the impact of nurse staffing on patient outcomes are providing a growing body of knowledge, it is not only possible but likely that now that we can know what is safe hospital leadership will be held liable if they do not maintain safe staffing levels. Indeed, in the Keck case, it is important to note that Keck never filed a suit or even a claim against the nurse assigned to her care. Making a profit at the expense of human life and well-being is and always will be an issue that is directly impacted…

    The ventricular assist device (VAD) is offered to patients in stage four heart failure, as a treatment option. A VAD is a mechanical pump that is used to aid the heart function and blood flow in individuals with a weekend heart (National Heart, 2012). With assistance from this device a patient’s blood is able to flow from a lower chamber of their heart into the rest of the body. Basically, it performs the job of a healthy heart.

Recent surveys do suggest this; for example, a survey carried out by The NFB BIM-readiness survey gathered information stating 74% of all contractors are not at all familiar, or only vaguely familiar, with the levels of BIM, 81% of SME contractors are no more than vaguely familiar with the levels of BIM, 42% of large contractors are no more than vaguely familiar with the levels of BIM. However, there are indicators that there is an increasing rate of projects adopting BIM as the table below indicates, contractors, engineers and architects in the US have all increased…

    This case study examines the findings for a patient admitted to Littleton Hospital in February 2016. This patient was initially radiographed on February 8th and again on February10th, 2016, when the radiology department received orders for a portable chest x-ray for an 82-year-old patient in the ICU.

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hypomtesis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for tuberculosis was adequate, or whether there is another cause for his hymoptesis. The duration of his tuberculosis treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But, no records are available. In addition, the patient had a thrombosis of the axillary artery treated last year at Hillcrest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. None the less, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of tuberculosis has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patient’s wife Nupor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindi language.…
