Omega House Case Study Executive Summary Omega House is a hospice established to offer a chance to enjoy the last days for the terminally ill. The case study presents the financial and structural integrity of the organization after the 1990 takeover by Social Action Consortium (SAC) from its unstable leadership, which had decided to abandon it. The company’s managerial structure had been weakened by abandonment, although it continued providing several social services. The social action consortium brought together seventeen stakeholders from various groups to oversee the delivery of services. The Omega House specialized in services such as education-oriented projects, health services for people with HIV, and even “political advocacy for issues that affected the poor and disenfranchised,” which made it a choice for most people living their last days and suffering from critical illnesses. The many stakeholders at Omega House ensure that the organization runs smoothly and that contributions are distributed through salaries. The payment of the salaries depends on the success in the activities that a manager is tasked to oversee. Any flaws in the fluidity of the company…
Case Study paper In Dan’s Best Interest Indisputably, Dan’s expulsion is opportune as it would create a sense of safety for other students, especially those he bullies. The endeavour will also help to restore calm in the school since Dan’s acts of bullying disrupted the learning environment. These fights were a threat not only to the emotional and educational well-being of the other students but to their physical safety as well. Also, they hampered the reputation of the school and threatened its viability to retain good students. This situation arose because if not addressed, the matter could tempt the parents of the afflicted students to transfer them to other schools where the learning environment is conducive. It, therefore, suffices to say that Dan’s expulsion was the only remedy that could guarantee the restoration of the learning environment. In pursuing this course of action, the school could consider the fact that Dan failed to respond positively to the progressive discipline methods tried by teachers in the school, which denoted its strength. Also, the school employed every resource at its disposal to…
Case Study on The doctrine of contract law The doctrine of contract law focuses on the obligation of parties in a contractual agreement to enforce their promise. Further, that promise must be a component of a fair exchange between the involved parties. Therefore, parties must ensure that they honor their obligations based on the core elements of a contract (Li & Kolotilin, 2016). Subsequently, Bob Smith has an obligation to buy the house because he entered into a contractual agreement with McKinney Construction. If Bob Smith refuses to buy the property, he should forfeit his money because such a decision is a breach of contract as the construction company has not declined to fix the shutters. Again, Bob has an obligation to pay the full contract price of $325, 000, and then demand that the construction firm finishes the installation of shutters. As stated, the company expects the full contract amount agreed by the parties as contracts once entered cannot be revoked unless one of the parties declines to fulfill their obligations. In this case, McKinney Construction, Inc. has a…
Family case study Family is the backbone of a human social support network, and its availability is vital in every person(s) life. However, several changes develop when a member of the family gets ill, particularly a long-time illness; thus, a nursing intervention that considers family needs is critical to increasing the emotional health and wellness of the family. A nurse intervening to help a family through stress is one of the essential strategies because stress is a stage that every family with a sick person goes through. An action that is associated with helping a family cope with stress is communication that mainly entails; helping the family understand, cope and accept the disease, communicating openly and effectively with the family, validating the need of connection with the family, and promoting active listening among the family members (DeGrande, Liu, Greene & Stankus, 2018). In a Case of P family, which is composed of a husband, wife, and three children, stress (emotional condition) is the challenge that I observed. The family is under pressure after the husband, a 65 years old man,…
violation of privacy as my case of study For my discussion, I have chosen a violation of privacy as my case of study. This is because most of the people’s privacy has been disclosed to society without their willingness. Some of the intimacy that has been revealed is health privacy. The health status of an individual should not be published to the community unless by their choice. Health workers should ensure that all their patients’ privacy has been maintained, and there is no even at a single time, they will be disclosed. For this case, let’s take a scenario of a person suffering from covid-19. The health care staff has to decide on whether to keep this secret or to disclose it. There is a dilemma that if they publish it without a choice of the victim, they will have violated his rights and if they keep quiet on the issues, more people who come in to contact with him may be infected. Different steps are involved before making a decision. The last step is to gather the fact. This…

Case Study: Medical Fraud in Southern California Fraud offers a questionable and illegal gateway to the manipulation of institutions for financial gain. That is, it is the use of wrongful deception whose intended outcome is the achieving of either personal or commercial gain(as is common). Healthcare fraud has led to the slowing down and, in the cases, the complete halting of rolling out ofaffordable medical care by both the government and insurance companies. Those that misappropriate healthcare funds ultimately lead to expensive costs that are incurred in the process of acquiring medical services. The current insurance funds and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid have suffered a massive backlash from critics that view the installed systems as too vulnerable to fraudulent activities. While the cases of fraud are widespread throughout the country, there is ranging of isolated mass scams that affect the national level.
