...Risk Management- Drunken Patient Lawsuit LAW/531 February 17, 2014 Risk Management- Drunken Patient Lawsuit The IRAC method is an instructional tool that can aid students in the comprehension and evaluation of information so that they can make informed value decisions. It is an acronym for Issue, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion. Although this is a legal model used to evaluate hypothetical situations in law cases, it is by no means limited to the study of the law. Useful for case studies presented in varied mediums such as narratives, videos/films, or recordings, the IRAC method may be applied to other activities such as defining a term or demonstrating a concept, principle, relationship, analogy, or contrasting idea. Often the instructional focus is on the end result of case study discussion rather than on how to "walk through" a method or approach to be used by the students in the case analysis (Bittner, M.1990). Issue: A recent court ruling should motivate hospital risk managers to conduct a careful periodic review of their facility's procedures and legal obligations when it comes to treating intoxicated patients. The patient, Kevin Kowalski, later wandered onto a nearby highway and was struck by a car, leaving him paralyzed below the neck. Throughout the case, Mr. Kowalski contended that even though he decided on his own to leave the hospital, the hospital should have prevented him from doing so based on his level of inebriation. Analyze: In order to analyze...

...administration in: (a) The contemporary era Introduction The approaches to the study of Public administration in the contemporary era can be categorized from different angles such as normative approach and empirical approach. The main focus of these approaches is how public administration should be, and also to describe and to analyze the actual administrative situations. There different forms of public administration which are divide as follows; Philosophical approach Legal approach Historical approach Scientific approach Case Method Approach Institutional and Structural Approach Behavioral Approach Philosophical Approach The Philosophical approach takes within its purview all aspects of administrative activities. The main goal of this approach is to find out and enunciate the principles or ‘ideals’ underlying these activities. This is perhaps the oldest approach to public administration as of all other social sciences. Legal Approach This is a systematic approach which is formulated and it traces its ancestry to the European tradition of rooting Public administration in law. Public administration was considered to be a part of law, concentrating on legally prescribed structure and organization of Public authorities. Legal approach came into place at a time when the functions of the state were narrowly limited and simple in nature. The administrative law is an important branch of Public law which is conceived in quite broad terms to enable it to include the organization...

...Chapter I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Conflicts among inhabitants of a community is inevitable and the necessity of establishing a formal institution such as trial courts or courts of justice, to address conflict resolution is indispensible. The establishment of this formal institutions is based on the social contract theory wherein the government is duty bound to maintain order in a community and to protect and enforce the fundamental rights of its inhabitants in exchange for the surrender of some rights of the latter. All these, follow the course of administration of justice. Administration of Justice examines the structure, function, laws, procedures, and decision-making processes of agencies that deal with crime management. Courts of justice plays a very important role in the administration of justice. Almost all countries experience problems in the administration of justice. The degree of seriousness of these problems varies depending on several factors. The most common among these problems is the increasing number of court dockets and flaws in the laws being interpreted and implemented. In the Philippines, Courts, in the administration of justice, follows a hierarchy of courts. There are four (4) levels of courts in the Philippines, wherein it is the Supreme Court that is at the apex of this four-tiered hierarchy. At the lowest level of the hierarchy are the first-level courts, consisting of the Municipal Trial Courts (MTCs), Metropolitan Trial...

...Risk Analysis Estimating Methods - Scheduling Risks As Applied to the Panama Canal Case Study 11/8/2010 Kendrick argues that establishing project planning is a necessary key requirement of managing project schedule risk (2009, p.334). Regardless of how thoroughly a project manager works to ensure that a project’s schedule is accurate, he or she cannot fully control the inevitable and random influences that may negatively impact their project schedule. Equipment failures, nature, and sick employees are just a few of the uncontrollable factors that may jointly cause a project manager to miss their project’s target date. In preparation for these risks, a project manager needs discipline to devise an appropriate, risk-controlled project schedule. These Kendrick states that scheduling risks fall into three categories (2009, p.71): * Delays - Usually caused by material delivery and availability issues. * Estimates - Minimize this risk by using better estimation procedures. * Dependencies - When one project depends on other projects or systems, a failure or delay in any area can cause a domino effect. Risk Identification is the process of documenting risks that threaten a project and determining which of those risk have the potential to cause the most impact it. The act approximating the degree of impact a risk may have on a project schedule is referred to as estimating. This paper discuses two tools or techniques of estimating scheduling risks used to predict...

...Case Study: Plastecs Discriminationn, Employee Turnover and Retention Abstract This is a case study that looks at a fictional company’s need to address employee turnover and retention. It explains possible routes Paul, the company’s Director of Human Resources, could take based on information found in our text which is referenced in the case study as well. It highlights terms we have covered in the past 3 weeks and answers questions presented in the explanation of what the case study should present. After analyzing and researching Plastecs company policies and talking to management one of the first approaches Paul should make as Director of Human Resources is to reevaluate some employee laws and regulations. The first of which should be Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964 which “Prohibits discrimination in employment on basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin” (Mathis, 2011,2009). Roy and John both stated discriminatory reasons for not hiring Asians, which if ever were to be addressed legally could very well implicate the company. They also said that one of the reasons why they no longer considered women for managerial positions is because they felt as though they didn’t want that position. They’re not comfortable in the role”. Which could also fall under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 that states “Prohibition against women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; requires that they be treated as all other employees...

...Case Study 1 Exempt or Nonexempt Employees Shawnte Reed Liberty University Compensation Management BUSI 645-B01 Dr. Ed Sherbet Case Study 1 Exempt or Nonexempt Employees There are many benefits to having a management or leadership position. A manager is normally paid a salary, while lower level workers are paid an hourly wage. Some other benefits managers usually receive are sick leave and vacation time. However, there are drawbacks to having a management position such as overtime and working hours. Managers often are exempt from overtime pay even when they work extended hours during the work week. Consequently, managers are paid the same amount of money whether they work eight hours or twelve hours. This case study involves Jane, a shift leader at a department store. Jane does not receive overtime pay even though she works up to 50 hours per week because she is an exempt employee. Policy pertaining to overtime pay is set by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). According to the FLSA, “ employers are to pay overtime rates (one-and-a half times regular pay) for any hours worked in excess of forty hours in a work week with exemptions for employees acting in an executive, administrative, or professional capacity” (Dorris, 2009, p. 1253-1254). Exempt employees fill positions that are classified as executive, learned professional, administrative, computer, outside sales, and creative professional. Jane is classified as an exempt employee because she is part of...
