A manufacturer of an electric meter that included surge protectors to prevent damage to the meter from overloads is sued exclusively for strict product liability by an electric company after the surge protectors failed and damaged the electric meters. The manufacturer defends the claim of strict product liability on the basis that the defect in the product only damaged the product itself and there were no personal injuries.

How strong is this defense by the manufacturer?

  • Strong, because strict product liability does not allow for economic loss occasioned from a defect in a product that only causes damage to the product itself.
  • Weak, because strict product liability applies to defective products even when they do not cause personal injuries or damage a company’s property.
  • Strong, unless the electric company can provide a reasonable alternative design to the meter that would have mitigated the risk of the surge protectors failing.
  • Weak, because there is no indication that the electric company was aware of the product’s defective surge protectors and elected to use the meters anyway.

Capstone Project – Informational

This part of the assignment is NOT FOR GRADING THIS WEEK. This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone project and also to show the instructor that progress is being made on the Capstone project.

Use the template provided in the section below titled “Description of Capstone Project.” Submit your Capstone project-related work to the Group submission area. Include the word “DRAFT” in the document title. Your first draft will then be available to share with your team. The first draft will also be available for your instructor to view the team’s progress.

You will be developing a comprehensive Systems Implementation Plan as your Capstone project (Unit 4 Group Project) in this course. For the Capstone project, you and your team will be expected to demonstrate project management abilities, communication skills within a multidisciplinary team, problem analysis, and the application of information technology and related best practices toward the creation of a comprehensive and cohesive solution meeting organizational and user requirements. As IT projects typically involve people with diverse IT skill sets and backgrounds, this project should mirror that real-world environment.

This Capstone project involves numerous IT areas including hardware and software, application development, networking, and security. Your team may be comprised of members who represent one or more of these IT areas. You will create and submit individual documents that propose your individual analysis during the different phases of the project. You will also need to collaborate with your team on a weekly basis to develop an overall solution that the entire team deems appropriate given the identified requirements. Typical project management methodology and skills should be employed.

Description of Capstone Project

Class Subject: Performance Improvement (Healthcare Information Management)

Hospital D is a 400-bed acute-care facility with a wide range of services. Dr. Jones is a cardio-thoracic surgeon at the facility and has been practicing in the area for the past six years. Dr. Jones is performing a coronary bypass procedure on a 59-year-old patient. Although the procedure is going well, it took more time than usual to complete because, prior to beginning, the anesthesiologist needed extra time to ensure a safe experience with the anesthesia due to the patient’s asthma and sleep apnea. The operating rooms at the hospital have been especially busy lately with a high number of unexpected trauma surgeries along with the already busy schedule the operating room tends to have. Dr. Jones is preparing to finish the procedure and “close up” the patient when he notices another physician standing at the window in the door leading into the operating room. The physician is a seasoned physician that has been at the hospital for several decades. The physician not only looks through the window at Dr. Jones, but lifts his arm and taps on his watch as a way to tell Dr. Jones that his surgery time has gone past what is scheduled. Although Dr. Jones is a confident and competent surgeon, this experience really rattles him a little and he finds himself somewhat distracted by the other physician’s behavior. He let himself become a little “short fused” with the staff in the room and begins to speed up his work, pressuring the other staff. Dr. Jones has the patient return to his office with pain and issues in his incision. After further workup, it is determined that a sponge was left in during the procedure.

 

Tasks:

  • Identify performance improvement issues based on the description of the issue and provide a brief description. (15 points)
  • Explain the issue based on the systems thinking approach. (15 points)
  • Identify at least 1 indicator that the hospital may use to monitor such issues (surgical errors and alike) along with how that indicator will be measured. (15 points)
  • Suggest one QI Toolbox technique that may be used to improve the OR processes (flowchart, check sheet, or any other appropriate tools) and explain why that technique would be helpful. (15 points)
  • Identify the TJC NPSG standard(s) that the hospital OR physicians and staff should be guided by. (complete NPSG is available in the Files area). (10 points)

NONROFIT MANAGEMENT & SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

maximum of two pages each on the above Required Course Materials

Do not write a book report; focus on what you learned from these books and how you will apply this knowledge to your team’s and/or the class’s project

Team Project

The organizations that accept donated cars are facing a great challenge when it comes to the donation of unusable cars. However, they are addressing to this problem by helping small organizations to amplify justice and positive impact. The idea underlies in the fair trade USA whereby the social justice movement is adhered to with an aim of fair treatment to every organization.

The fact that the fair trade movement does not focus on aid but trade has also led to the idea of donation dependent organizations to be more independent, they concentrate on their trading activities without looking and depending on foreign that turns out to fail them very miserably.

Linking people to the market and teaching people to develop their own trading activities to eliminate poverty is also another way in which the organizations are addressing to this problem of car donations. Motivating people on how to make better returns in the market is also of big help, in terms of trade.

Furthermore, the organizations have managed to build resilience by creating a firm backbone of the businesses as a way of reducing the heavy weight that is dropped on the organizations when the disasters strike (Saebi et al., 2019). The donation of funds from people and their ability to save a certain amount of funds have managed to eradicate poverty in at least few regions at the USA.

Through the fair trade movement, the development projects are done by the people who manage the small organizations. They decide on the development project they want to start with, working based on their budget in order to avoid extra costs and debts. The fact that a certain organization can manage to do their own projects without depending on the foreign aid attracts more efforts and hard work among the people.

Lastly, the donation of cars is done by other large organizations and has been of very great impact to the other small organization (Carraher et al., 2016). The number of cars donated is roughly about five per annum.
