HSA 515 Week 4 Assignment 1 Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care
System Administration
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health
care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the
various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with
medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care
administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of
professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they
are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be
applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject
to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their
professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and
ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical
Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your
21. pre-employment screening involved background checks into any
violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5)
years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the
hospital administration community. During the past year, you had
to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-
employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc.
During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under
scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions
needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned
about the importance of professional conduct within the health care
setting. Justify your position.
2. Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff
compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove
medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing
board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they
apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital
governing board’s manifesto.
22. 5. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this
assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as
academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must
follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor
for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.
The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
Describe the sources of law in America, the relative legal
procedure, and the related court system.
Examine the various applications of the law within the health care
system.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in
health care policy, law, and ethics.
