Shaellen Thompson
HCM 483
May 21,2017
The Closure of the Yadkin Valley Medical Center In 2015, the Yadkin Valley Medical Center closed its doors. The county had no clue it was closing and filed a temporary restraining order in superior court to keep the hospital open.
The restraining order was emailed to the chief legal officer, Dennis Davis. He responded by saying the hospital was already closed. The hospital was closed by the company HCM/CAH Consolidated Inc. who is the company leasing the building from the county. Leasing negotiations with the county and HCM/CAH were not going well. The county commissioners had decided not to renew the lease with HCM/CAH. So, the company notified the State Department of Health that the hospital was closing

    Case Brief The Day After

    Over the last 18 months the average occupancy at Riley Memorial Hospital had fallen. This was certainly a cause for concern for Charlie and the hospital board. As a result, 134 employees were laid off to keep the hospital out of the red. This led to the closing of two specialized nursing units, which had a few trustees and several physicians extremely upset with the board’s decision. Charlie’s relationship with the board and medical staff had changed over time because of his inability to control the number of matters of importance due to a changing external environment. Consequently, Charlie lost his ability to make necessary decisions in a timely manner. With four physicians on the board, Charlie met with resistance when he tried to prepare the board for the economic downturn and the publics decline in the use of physicians and hospitals. Furthermore, Charlie met with resistance once again when he tried to review a proposed contract submitted by a health maintenance organization with the board. Instead of listening to what Charlie had to say, the four physicians persuaded the board to support private practitioners and engage in fee-for-service medicine. The board assured Charlie that the physicians would keep the hospitals needs and interests above those of the medical staff. Charlie appointed Bill Handy as the COO of Riley Memorial Hospital and turned over all internal operations to him. Although this new appointment was fully endorsed by the board, it was never understood or accepted by many of the physicians. The physicians at Riley Memorial Hospital considered Charlie’s role to primarily serve the interests of the medical staff. Many physicians believed Charlie did…

    UC Irvine Health Case Study Essay

    Length of stay was not the only process that was made more effective with the implementation of the PSH model at UC Irvine Health. Another aspect that was positively affected by the PSH model was turnover time of a procedure. According to UC Irvine Health ninety two percent of procedures start at 7:30 in the morning. With the implementation of the PSH model the turnover time averaged about 29 minutes. This was a 31 percent improvement from before the PSH model was implemented. For those worried about the performance of a surgeon because the turnover time improved, it went unaffected. According to UC Irvine Health, the 166 cases researched that all 166 cases had 100.00 performance rates. Because the performance of the surgeons was so high in less amount of time, this lowered the readmission rate for the same health issue. UC Irvine found that the readmission rate for hip arthroplasties is zero percent. The national average for readmission for a knee arthroplasty is between 2.5 percent and 4.3 percent compared to UC Irvine Health readmission rate which is 1.1 percent…
