CHANCE OF SURVIVAL DIMINISHEDOn the afternoon of May 20, the patient, Mr. Ard, began feeling nauseated. He was in pain and had shortness of breath. Although his wife rang the call bell several times, it was not until sometime later that evening that someone responded and gave Ard medication for the nausea. The nausea continued to worsen. Mrs. Ard then noticed that her husband was having difficulty breathing. He was reeling from side to side in bed. Believing that her husband was dying, she continued to call for help. She estimated that she rang the call bell for 1.25 hours before anyone responded. A code was eventually called. Unfortunately, Mr. Ard did not survive the code. There was no documentation in the medical records for May 20, between 5:30 PM and 6:45 PM, that would indicate that any nurse or physician checked on Ards condition. This finding collaborated Mrs. Ards testimony regarding this time period.A wrongful death action was brought against the hospital, and the district court granted judgment for Mrs. Ard. The hospital appealed.Ms. Krebs, an expert in general nursing, stated that it should have been obvious to the nurses from the physicians progress notes that the patient was a high risk for aspiration. This problem was never addressed in the nurses care plan or in the nurses notes.On May 20, Ards assigned nurse was Ms. Florscheim. Krebs stated that Florscheim did not perform a full assessment of the patients respiratory and lung status. There was nothing in the record indicating that she completed such an evaluation after he vomited. Krebs also testified that a nurse did not conduct a swallowing assessment at any time. Although Florscheim testified that she checked on the patient around 6:00 PM on May 20, there was no documentation in the medical record. Ms. Farris, an expert witness for the defense, testified on cross-examination that if a patient was in the type of distress described by Mrs. Ard and no nurse checked on him for 1.25 hours, that would fall below the expected standard of care.1What happened?Why did things go wrong?What were the relevant legal issues?How could the event have been prevented?What is your verdict?he similarities and differences between the American legal system and the legal structure of health care organizations.Regarding the American legal system and health care organizational legal structures, there are a multitude of similarities and differences. Both systems implement a degree of liability in the sense of governing bodies designed to facilitate the agreed upon actions, laws given a specified situation. As Miller cites (2006), government is divided into three branches, legislative, executive, and judicial. On the federal level, statutes are enacted by Congress and only become law when approved by the president (p.4). However, a particular bill can be over-ruled and disallowed by the Supreme Court of the United States. Miller adds (2006), a method of overriding a Supreme Court decision, while complex and often time consuming, is to amend the Constitution (p.4). Similarly, health care organizations implement governing boards, a group of individuals designed to regulate, instill, and facilitate specified laws and by-laws regarding the organization in question. Miller explains (2006), almost all health care is delivered within an organized system. Clinical and regulatory complexity requires an infrastructure that can be provided only by a well-ordered structure. The organization of most health care entities, regardless of their type, includes a governing body and a chief executive officer (p.29). Another interesting similarity exists between the American legal system and the legal structure of health care organizations. Both systems must comply with the specified laws imposed by the U.S. President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. A prime example would be the enactment of the laws governing workmans compensation allocation and the unemployment benefits act for all workers.A subsequent and primary difference between the American legal system and the health care organizational legal structures centers on bylaws. For-profit organizations incorporate bylaws into policies and procedures and any changes are generally related to the workforce via addendums within the organizational personnel employee handbook. Interestingly, regarding the Long-Term care industry, specific laws governing the care of residents become enacted through federal and state mandates, such laws are enforced by federal and state agencies and must be followed by the individual Long-Term care facilities; however, the Long-Term care organizations cannot change such laws, policies, and procedures. Yet, the federal and state agencies can and do change these laws according to statistical incidence such as falls rates, medication errors, and reluctance to comply pertaining to yearly facility inspections. Another poignant and specific difference relates to appointment vs. election. Miller cites (2006), health care entities ultimate responsibility centers on establishing goals and polices, select the chief executive, and appoint medical staff members (p.30). Within the American legal system, the chief executive leaders are elected and maintain their position through the process of re-election.Lastly, the monetary acquisition of funds regarding the for-profit organizations centers on investors, multiple corporations, and stakeholders/ stocks. However, federal organizations are funded through taxation of its citizenry. Interestingly, there are in place a great deal of federal and state regulations regarding the offering, sale, and re-sale of company stock and partnership interests. Wolper (2004) suggests that, historically, the legal structure of the health care delivery system in the United States consists almost exclusively of personal interactions between patients and physicians. Today, the health care delivery system is almost completely composed of corporate entities, many of which are investor owned (p.93). Through similarities and differences of the American legal system and the health care organizational legal structures, it is interesting to view the justification of the intermingling and adaptation of principles that appear to be borrowed from the American legal system and incorporated into the health care organizational legal system. Yet, with this said, the federal government provides more than just structure for health care organizations, they implement a great deal of the mandated policies and procedures that must be followed with strict adherence, regardless of the health care organizations self-enacted laws, by-laws, polices, and procedures.ReferencesMiller, R.

Select four of the following methods and explain how they should be used by your company to align best with your target segment and product definition
Using the same organization and the lemonade drink from the Week 4 Learning assignment, develop an analysis for the bank. The bank will be using this information to make their final decision on how, and if, to fund your companys new and unique lemonade.Through your research, you have found that the bank you will be presenting to is favorable of socially-conscience companies that support local charitable endeavors.Developa minimum 350- to 525-word analysis that include the following:Select four of the following methods and explain how they should be used by your company to align best with your target segment and product definition:AdvertisingPublic relationsTraditional Digital marketingNew Digital marketing techniques (describe)Direct marketingEvent marketingOutdoor AdvertisingSelect two of the following forms of sales promotion to promote your product and explain the reasoning for each of your choices:CouponsDealsPremiumsContestsSweepstakesContestsSamplesLoyalty ProgramsPoint-of-purchase displaysRebatesDiscuss ways you can demonstrate to the bank that this company is a socially-conscience organization and will be involved with local social endeavors.Discuss how your company could expand into the global market.Examine promotional methods that could be used to market your lemonade globally.Examine any ethical or moral issues you may encounter while developing and utilizing the various forms of sales promotion.Week 4 below to show assignment and grading from professor.Simply Lemonade- A Lemonade that has been reported to taste more like lime and have a tartier taste. (Taste Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade, 2011).Our companys lemonade is made with fresh lemons and other fruity flavors for a fresh healthy lemonade.Minute Maid- This lemonade was reported to be perfectly blended but were still reported as bland.(Taste Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade, 2011).Our company blends our fresh lemonade with other fruity flavors for a nice sour taste added with vitamins for an added health boost.Natalies Hand-Crafted- Reported as sweet but doesnt seem fresh.(Taste Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade, 2011).The above designates the above brands taste weaknesses and can be significant. But, the Team must also report its nutritional and ingredient strengths and weaknesses as compared to Super Flight.0.800Our company prides itself with its fresh lemonade and fruit juice blend that is carbonated giving it that little extra fresh crispy taste.This hints at Super Flights positioning in terms feature and benefits, value added and competitive edge. However once again, I refer the Team back to Part 2 to understand how this positioning can be strengthened to more clearly differentiate the brand from the competition.Define the pricing strategy in no more than 90 words that you will use for the introduction of the product.We believe that the best pricing strategy for our lemonade at launch to be penetration pricing. With penetration pricing, prices will start low with little profit margins to attract new customers and gain market share value. This should in turn raise awareness of our new lemonade and raise sales volume, while also creating lower production costs and higher inventory turnover due to the increase of sale and production.This makes good sense.The considerations can be this:If the Team is convinced the product is addressing an unmet need for which there is no direct competition and for which robust demand is anticipated, then a skimming pricing strategy is advisable.However, the Team has determined the product will be introduced into a competitive marketplace wherein a penetration pricing strategy that aims price at the middle of the market can be implemented to encourage trial and brand-switching.1.000Discuss in no more than 90 words the maturity life cycle stages of your product.Stage of Maturity Life CycleDiscussionSales volume peakDuring the maturity phase of the Product Life Cycle sales volumes tend to peak because of product saturation in the market.Maintaining market shareDuring the maturity phase competition is at its highest level in the cycle, which makes it increasingly challenging for a company to maintain their market share.Stronger product differentiation/ImprovementsThrough product differentiation, improvement or changes to the product (new mixes, flavors, or ingredient improvements) the company can keep maintaining or slow the decrease of their market share.Decreasing in market share0.300Because of the high competition at this stage companies will start to experience a decrease in market share. This will be followed by lower profits because of price reduction of products to maintain competitiveness, which will also bring down price levels.The Team has examined the maturity PLC stage only. Note that the maturity life cycle stages are to be discussed.This means the Team must examine the introduction, growth, maturity and decline stages.Briefly, the discussion would look like this:· At introduction a product must establish brand awareness, perhaps trial the product with key target markets and price the product the Super Flight Team implementing penetration pricing strategy to encourage trial and brand switching.· During the growth stage, the Team improves quality and adds new flavors to enhance differentiation and maintains the price due to healthy demand. The Team seeks increased distribution coverage and modifies promotion to shift the promotional message from brand awareness to preference.· At maturity, the Team may enter new geographical markets and engage in additional product modification to further differentiate the product line from the any emerging competition rather than compete on price.· In the eventuality of product decline, which can be possible with the emergence new health and taste trends, the Team will reduce promotional expenditures, cut back distribution and possibly reduce the price. The product, if endangered, will then be harvested from the product line if sales no longer justify a marketing investment.The Team does discuss the maturity stage correctly.Describe in 90 words how you will use suppliers, agents, or distributors to create your distribution channel.We can use wholesalers, resellers, retailers, and consultants since they already have resources and relationships with customers and vendors to quickly bring our product to the market. We will even set up our own personal sales team to bring in new customers as well to sell directly to these customers. We can also set up an online web-store so that customers can order directly from us online and get their orders shipped directly to them possibly by UPS since they can deliver even to smaller locations. Another thing we can do is to advertise our lemonade with specific sales for brand new customers -since this seems to help catch interest.Good. The Team is planning to implement a multi-channel distribution design; first indirect through wholesalers and retailers. I dont know what consultants means. Super Flight>Wholesales>Restaurants, Supermarkets, Convenience Stores>End-User. The Team is also establishing customer-direct distribution channel through its website.1.0004.
