Medical liability reform approach

Leading up to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March 2010, federal liability reforms were contemplated as a means of garnering support for the legislation among congressional Republicans and medical professional organizations.

Although no liability-reform provisions survived in the final bill, Congress made clear the need for more experimentation.

The final legislation authorized $50 million for states and health care systems to test new approaches to the resolution of medical-injury disputes.

This authorization supplemented the $23 million that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded in 2010 for projects to advance new approaches to medical-injury compensation and patient safety” (Kachalia and Mello, 2011, p. 1564).

Reform and improvement of the U.S. medical liability system is a prevalent issue on the national health policy agenda (Kachalia and Mello, 2011). Kachalia, A. and Mello, M. M. (2011). New directions in medical liability reform. New England Journal of Medicine, 364(16), 1564-1572.

Week 4 Discussion

Reply to the following using at least 175 words per reply. Be constructive and professional in your reply. Be sure to use FULL APA references and in-text citations.

1. Clinical trial data is one excellent example of data that should be reserved, for at least a few years while the research is ongoing. I feel that delaying the release of this data will allow drug manufacturers/medical researchers to develop and test their new products and treatments away from critical eyes. When anything new is being developed, there are many iterations of the products, each test, trial, retest has data and lessons are learned. There is an old saying, “You don’t want to know how the sausage is made”, I think this might apply here. If the clinical research data was released after each iteration, nothing would be allowed to be completed.

What are your thoughts?

2. Public health data is important for the good of your community, state, and the nation. Being able to track trends in healthcare is important for many reasons. Think about our pandemic and the spread of Covid and all the tracking of data that is associated with this disease. We must have methods to track this data and to protect the individual’s personal health information (PHI). Here is an article that describes “data cleaning”. Data from EHRs must be accurate and free from PHI. Since there are so many different EHR systems in use, is this an achievable outcome, if so, how?

Discuss the general patient population in terms of general diagnosis, goals and expected outcomes. Discuss how the department utilized their staff correctly or incorrectly. Discuss how you observed the department reacting to any current trends in healthcare. Discuss a specific example where a staff person used communication skills appropriately or inappropriately.

Scenario:
Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had been a long flight from New York to Rome, but she as she stretched, and her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth. Neither, though, were noticeable
