Nurses, for example, have consistently decried poor staffing levels and, more recently in times of COVID-19, inadequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that places both nurse and patient at high risk. For the most part, hospitals do little to correct these issues. The complaints have usually been kept \"in house\" and the nurses were expected to \"stand down\" once they'd complained. Physicians, who are now employees in growing numbers, have also filed formal complaints with professional associations, States' licensing authorities, and also with States Boards of Health. When this happens, it is not unusual to hear that the physicians who were in good standing and who filed the complaints have been dismissed from their employment even in cases where the physicians have been long term employees of hospitals. Terminated medical employees have sued their former employers. This paper examines the issue of employment of professionals by hospitals, in particular physicians, and causes for termination that are legal. The paper will also examine, by means of analyzing a current case (Zelman), the termination of employment of a physician that appears to be illegal/retaliatory. The paper concludes by demonstrating civil penalties that can attach to the successful proof of retaliatory termination by reviewing of some recent cases that are illuminating in their outcomes.","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141181603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professional caregivers, including physicians, nurses, and others who have made clinical errors normally will fall under the risk management and quality improvement policies of the organization at which they are employed and subsequent investigation and response occurs internally. Sometimes further consequences can entail the caregiver being named as a defendant or codefendant in a civil lawsuit, and sometimes the caregiver can have professional licensure restricted or even revoked. More rarely, a caregiver can be prosecuted in a criminal legal action. When criminal prosecution occurred, it was usually for purposeful wrongdoing such as fraud, diversion of drugs, or even the intentional or reckless killing of elderly or other vulnerable people. The recent criminal prosecution of a Tennessee nurse for the reckless series of mistakes that led to the death of a single patient opens new considerations for nurses, physicians, and all caregivers, along with hospitals and healthcare systems that employ and/or work with them. The \"dynamic tension\" of encouraging all caregivers to own up to mistakes with patients as quickly as possible in healthcare organizations seems to be especially challenged now by the Vaught decision. This was mitigated somewhat by a relatively lenient sentence ordered by the judge in this noteworthy case.","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"117-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40521039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the mental health problems, dementia, depression, anxiety and sleep disorder are of significant concern. This present study investigates the association between the types of living arrangement and the mental health of elderly in India. Comparison has been done between empty nest and non-empty nest elderlies. Data from first wave of Longitudinal Aging Study in India (2017-18) has been used. It is a nationally representative data which collected data from over 72,000 individuals aged 45 and above and their spouses irrespective of age. We used the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) to measure depression while living arrangement was self-reported by the respondents. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to find significant association of the outcome and independent variables. Among the total elderlies, 11% were from empty nest single households, 20% were from empty nest couple households and others were from the non-empty households. At national level, 30% elderly suffered from depression. It was more among the elderly of empty nest single households (43%), compared to elderly of empty nest couple households (30%) and non-empty nest households (28%). Gender, socio economic status, self-rated health status, financial stability, place of residence plays a crucial role in the experience of depression among the elderlies. Results portray that household structure, especially living arrangement and familial support in old age can be associated with the overall health and wellbeing, more specifically depressive symptoms among the elderly.","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"96-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40594481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
