Medical Malpractice and Tort Reform, law homework help

/in /by

Medical malpractice is one area where tort reform is argued most heavily. Some concerns are that caps on damages might result in costs that ultimately fall on the taxpayer; other concerns are the increase in medical expenses for tests ordered before diagnosis by physicians hoping to eliminate a future claim of medical malpractice.

First, research medical malpractice for an understanding of the elements of this cause of action. Then, read the following two articles and answer the questions posed.

Kenney, K. (2009, Aug. 9).  Fixing health care reform requires tort reform.  Retrieved from http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2009/08/fixing_health_care_requires_to.html

Doroshow, J. (2009, Nov. 9). Medical malpractice tort reform-we are already suffering and don’t need more. Retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joanne-doroshow/medical-malpractice-tort_b_350573.html

  1. What must the plaintiff prove to prevail in a claim of medical malpractice? Clearly define this legal doctrine, including the element of this cause of action. How does medical malpractice differ from a standard negligence claim?
  2. What defenses, if any, exist for a claim of medical malpractice?
  3. Evaluate arguments for and against tort reform in the area of medical malpractice. You are encouraged to illustrate your arguments by using real case examples, either researched or from the material provided.
  4. Include new thoughts or ideas based on the module information. This is your reflection/insight that logically would flow from each information point presented.

As a helpful explanation, in the area of torts we see many causes of action that are comprised of “elements.”  For instance, if we discuss a situation involving negligence, we would define negligence stating, “Negligence occurs when a person’s conduct falls below the standard of care, resulting in a breach of duty which is the direct and proximate cause of injury to another person or thing. The elements of negligence are 1) duty; 2) breach; 3) causation; and 4) damages.”  Then, each element would be analyzed, determining whether each one was met. It is imperative that each element of a tort claim is met for the plaintiff to prevail in a suit.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or reference page.  Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Course Information page, and make sure to follow the APA Requirements. Please be sure to reach out to your instructor early in the week if you have difficulty with this topic.

CJ 231 Week 1 Response Discussion Guns Youth Violence

/in /by

I need to respond to this in 300-400 words in A.P.A. format with references

Guns and youth violence have become more inseparable over the years. What was once fighting in the backyard over a trivial dispute, is now killing on school playgrounds at times of recess. Criminals are getting younger and younger. The worst part is not these virulent acts are committed, it is that these juveniles are showing no signs of remorse.

Decreasing these tragedies can be done by implementing programs that strive to provide counseling and moral support. Most of the time, these kids are involved in violence because of their love for money. 1 Timothy 6:10 states that the love of money is the root to evil (New King James Version), imagine a misguided child who loves money.

I believe that schools should implement classes that reveal students God given talents, which in return grow interest in positive activities. Once these children figure out what they love and are naturally talented at, they will have passion for that instead of the street life. Speaking from personal experience, I am a prime example. These children are growing up in broken homes, and just require a bit more attention.

We as Christian leaders can create a support group today to help fight the cause. As long as the Holy Spirit guides the way, victory will be obtained.

Fact: “The Washington Post reported that more than 26,000 children and teenagers in the U.S. have been killed by guns since the 1999 Columbine massacre, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And that number actually understates child gun deaths, because it’s only current to 2016.” (9 Youth Gun Violence Statistics That Will Make Your Jaw Drop, Seth Millstein, Mar 23 2018, Child Gun Deaths Since Columbine)

Deliverable length: 5–8 PowerPoint Presentation slides with speaker notes (excluding the title and reference slide); including detailed speaker notes of 200–250 words speaker notes for each slide 

As the new HR manager of a jewelry company, you have put together some preliminary reports for the CEO. One of the reports you compiled focuses on employee turnover. The jewelry company is an organization with aggressive expansion goals. In the last 2 years, the company has continually hired new employees, yet it has not achieved the staffing levels it desired. The company knew that some employees had left the organization, but turnover rates have not been formally tracked. 

After your preliminary fact-finding, you were surprised to discover that the turnover rate for the past year was 38%. You know the CEO will not be pleased with this turnover rate, and you have made the decision to prepare yourself more before presenting the report to the CEO. Turnover presents a significant cost for an organization, so you recognize that this will be an opportunity for you to demonstrate how you can partner with the executive team to turn this situation around and help the company be more competitive. Prepare a short presentation for the CEO on the situation and possible reasons as to why employees are leaving at such a high rate.

As you are preparing your presentation, consider the following: 

  • In detail, discuss several of the reasons why employees tend to leave organizations.
  • You plan to present the financial impact to the CEO to get a real sense of the significance of the situation. What factors will you consider in preparing this financial estimate? For this assignment, you are not required to determine the actual dollar figure, but instead, you are to consider what would contribute to the cost of turnover.
  • Being proactive, what measures can be taken to assess the morale of current employees, and how likely they are to leave or stay?
  • What process do you recommend for partnering with the management team to reduce turnover in the upcoming years?
  • As you consider your role, how will you position this to the CEO to demonstrate the value you can bring to addressing this problem?

SOME FEEDBACK FOR THIS WEEKS BLOG POST:

BioSocial and Life Course Offending

This week we look at biosocial risk factors and revisit some of our favorite variables, such as genetics, IQ and ADHD. We also talk about protective factors – those are the things that protects us from delinquency, like intelligence and empathy. Some of the research in this area leads us to think about identifying a genetic marker from crime – what if that existed? Seems to me that biosocial theoriests have some serious consequences to consider.

Moffitt’s developmental theory details how the life-course persistent offender differs from the adolescent-limited offender by focusing on the influence of impulsivity. More recently, researchers are exploring the effects of neurocognition
