Health Care Delivery Description It is important for the radiologic technologist to understand the various methods of health care delivery to remain knowledgeable in the changing face of technology. The political context of health care organization and delivery, with specific focus on the mechanisms for policy formulation and implementation will be discussed. Objectives 1. Debate historical perspectives and technological advances as they relate to the delivery of health care. 2. Discriminate between various policy formation mechanisms and the impact of each onto direct patient care. 3. Analyze the various influences of policy on direct patient care. 4. Compare and contrast the different types of health care delivery systems. 5. Characterize the sources of research and monitoring in health care delivery. 6. Examine the impact of imaging technology on health care delivery. 89 © Copyright 2011 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. All rights reserved.
Health Care Law and Compliance Description Health care law and compliance is important because of its financial and emotional impact on technologists, patients and health care facilities. This content is geared toward legal and compliance issues that affect the employee and employer directly regarding accreditation and compliance issues. In addition this content gives guidance on risk management techniques, including reporting, that can help mitigate noncompliance. Objectives 1. Analyze various scenarios involving roles and responsibilities of radiologic technologists to determine if they are working within the scope of practice and using appropriate practice standards. 2. Evaluate an existing risk management plan to determine if it complies with effective risk management principles. 3. Properly complete and investigate an incident report. 4. Analyze a case study to determine implications of civil and criminal law upon professional licensing/certification and accreditation. 5. Outline civil procedures followed when a complaint is filed against an R.T. 6. Given a legal complaint scenario, determine which party has the burden of proof and the party’s responsibilities. 7. Analyze a situation to determine the type of patient consent granted. 8. Appraise a scenario to determine if the radiologic technologist is violating the patient’s rights. 9. Differentiate between the employer’s and employee’s legal responsibilities. 10. Classify the accreditation and compliance issues relevant to health care facilities. 90 © Copyright 2011 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. All rights reserved.
