Me 3 posts Re: Topic 6 DQ 1 From a financial perspective, hand hygiene is the most cost effective evidence based measure in healthcare systems. Moreover, a lack of investment in hand washing results in increased healthcare costs, decreased productivity or loss of life. According to McLaws (2015), hand hygiene has a relation with job attendance, thereby affecting staff performance. The costs of operating healthcare facilities remain a cardinal aspect that greatly depends on hand washing.According to infection prevention and control specialists, hand hygiene is recognized as the single most crucial intervention deployed to reduce the spread of infections both in the clinical setting and the community. Based on the fact that hands are the most viable modes of transmission and contact between people as well as innate objects, it is important to use water and soap or any alcohol based hand wash. Hand hygiene is paramount to patient safety and quality of healthcare outcomes. Based on the assessment of McLaws (2015), there is a relationship between hand hygiene and healthcare associated infections. The hands of healthcare workers are the most common avenue for the transmission of pathogens from patient to patient. In this light, healthcare workers can dictate the quality of healthcare outcomes when attending to patients.The compliance of hand hygiene has been critical in addressing infections. Bacteria alone accounts for ninety percent of infections while ten percent comprises of fungi and bacteria. Infection control on open wounds and cuts should be considered. Against this backdrop, frequent hand wash audits should be conducted in healthcare organizations to improve compliance. Healthcare organizations should invest in hand wash products and make them accessible to doctors, nurses and visitors alike.

You are a corporate compliance officer for a hospital. You are also a feature writer for The Medical Reporter, an online health magazine. The editor asks you to write an 8-10 page feature story about the steps you should take when fraud and abuse cases are reported to a facility. This is very timely as you recently received a call on your “hotline” regarding a potential fraud and abuse issue. The caller indicated that Dr. Greedy was billing for services that had not been provided. You are in danger of losing reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid programs if this behavior is not stopped. Your feature should address the ethical and moral components that healthcare providers and healthcare facilities face with fraud and abuse issues. Your research should include the following aspects:

In this scenario, hackers launch cyber attacks that affect several parts of the nation’s financial infrastructure over the course of several weeks. Specifically, sensitive credit card processing facilities are hacked and numbers are released to the Internet, causing 120 million cards to be cancelled; automated teller machines (ATMs) fail nearly simultaneously across the nation; major companies report payroll checks are not being received by workers; and several large pension and mutual fund companies have computer malfunctions so severe that they are unable to operate for more than a week. Identify the countermeasures that need to be implemented to prevent these cyber attacks from occurring in the future.
