    Accreditation Audit Task 3

    Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) is committed to upholding the core values of safety, accountability, teamwork, and community.

Background information on the tracer patient is as follows: 67 year old female postoperative patient recovering from a planned laparoscopic hysterectomy turned open due to complications. Patient developed infection that formed an abscess and was readmitted to the hospital for surgical abscess removal and central line placement for long term IV antibiotics. The tracer methodology was employed when auditors reviewed this patient’s course. Many things were done well and right with this patient and NCH is pleased to know that the majority of items analyzed with this patient proved that NCH was in compliance with regulatory standards; however, there were some troublesome areas that we need to focus on. The primary focus area that we will put our energies into will be the fact that there was not a history and physical completed on the patient within 24 hours of admission, and in fact it was greater than 72 hours before one was completed.

Standard PC.01.02.03 states that history and physicals must be documented and placed in the patient’s medical record within 24 hours of admission and prior to procedures involving conscious sedation or anesthesia. History and physicals are also considered in compliance if documented 30 days prior to procedures as long as there are no changes documented or the changes in status are specifically noted.

    Quality of life is described as the ability to enjoy life. People define it in their own ways. I personally feel that for me to maintain a high quality of life I need to be able to utilize most of my natural senses. Communication is on the top of my list. I am a verbal personality and I spend a majority of my day talking to people placing emphasis on being able to talk to people and hold an intelligent conversation of substance with my peers and children is vital to me enjoying my life. Touch would be second. I would feel deprived if I wasn’t able to feel and or reciprocate a hug to and from my children, family and friends. Cognition comes next. If I am unaware of my surroundings and or the people around me, then I am not living. I would rather not continue to live than to live and not continue.…

    Professional Regulations and Criminal Liabilities

    Consumer concerns have increased over the past few years because of the dramatic changes in health care information and its’ delivery (Benfield, Ashkanazi, Rozensky 2006). Each day patients put their physical health and trust in the hands of health care providers. Unfortunately, there have been times when the treatment provided, whether accidental or intentional, has caused harm to the patient. Patients who have experienced injury have the right to lodge a complaint against that provider. Included in the possible reasons for civil complaints is the sharing of personal information, negligence, or assault. These injuries are considered civil wrongs and are covered under Tort Law. In recent years, with the advances in technology, patient privacy has become imperative. In order to protect patient privacy the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was enacted, and is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, regulated by the Office of Civil Rights. Health care providers must take care to protect the privacy of their patients at all times. HIPAA regulations provide a guideline to help protect not only the patient, but also employees, from divulgence of their personal information to non-involved third parties.…
