This assignment allows us to view several historical/memorable occurrences in the healthcare field that have/will shape our future landscape.
– Originality is key. We regularly cross-check submissions against each other, past semesters, and other courses. Trying to cut corners or copy is just not worth it.
– All work should be submitted in MS Word format.
– Double-check/proofread for grammatical issues.
– The submission must be at least 400 words long (but no longer than 700).
– At a minimum, there should be two (but there can be more) references: the focus article, and one additional source.
Case Study Instructions
– Read the following medical malpractice-related articles about specific “true to life” occurrences:
An El Paso woman is suing her doctor for negligence over an unwanted pregnancy (https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/19/texas-supreme-court-tubal-ligation-lawsuit/)
– Eddie Bernice Johnson’s ‘painful death’ due to ‘medical negligence,’ family claims (https://www.fox4news.com/news/eddie-bernice-johnson-medical-negligence-pre-lawsuit-notice)
– Banner Health ordered to pay $31.5 million in malpractice lawsuit for brain-damaged boy (https://www.azfamily.com/2023/11/18/banner-health-ordered-pay-315-million-malpractice-lawsuit-brain-damaged-boy/)
– Read this article (https://www.mdlinx.com/article/top-causes-of-medical-malpractice/lfc-3889) regarding medical malpractice.
– Select one of the true-to-life news articles from step one. You can choose whichever you prefer.
– This submission (outline below) will consist of correlations from the selected article with points brought up in the general malpractice reading on MDLinx and in the course textbook (chapters 1 and 2).
The submission should include these components:
– Introduction/Synopsis
– This should summarize the key details of the events that occurred in the focus article.
– Cause
– Refer to the MDLinx “Top Causes of Medical Malpractice.” Describe which cause/s you feel this article best relates to and why.
– Challenge and Opportunity (refer to chapters 1 and 2 of the course textbook for inspiration).
– What is a challenge that will make it tough to eliminate this error from happening in the future?Why?
– What is an opportunity that will help to eliminate this error from happening moving forward? Why?
– *Note the grader will be looking for queues the student did additional research regarding the scenario beyond the provided articles and the course textbook (i.e. additional external resources). Note “Wikipedia” is not a reliable source (but is a good starting point to gather general information).
– Closing
– Summarize what has been said and reemphasize the most important point.
—————
A template is attached. It is recommended this be used when constructing the final assignment submission. Also, refer remember to include the following as these issues have been common pitfalls for students in the past:
– Include citations (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_the_basics.html) even when paraphrasing (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/using_research/quoting_paraphrasing_and_summarizing/paraphrasing.html). For this writing, there should be 1 or 2 citations per paragraph.
– Be sure the references (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html) page is formatted correctly. Each citation should link to a reference entry.
– Use sub-headings (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/apa_headings_and_seriation.html) to organize the writing.
– Just in case one is not familiar with the latest APA format; here is a link to a sample APA paper (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/apa_sample_paper.html)
