Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, is a 300+ bed community hospital offering a wide range of medical and surgical services. To illustrate many of the healthcare quality and safety ideas being covered in this course, an interactive organizational chart has been created. You can access it by selecting the image.
The chart provides a visual model of the administrative structure for a representative healthcare organization. For most weeks of the course, the chart also provides brief video programs that include remarks about the week’s topics from several of the hospital’s key administrators. Detailed instructions are on the chart’s home page.
This week, Patient Care Manager, Nadja Muchow, Vice President of Operations, T.J. Senker, and Vice President of Finance, Deana Stout, discuss how their individual roles in healthcare impact the quality and safety of patient care at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Discussion: Medical Error
In the past, medical error was a topic relatively overlooked by the mainstream media. Today, stories about medical oversights and mistakes are becoming far too frequent. Patients experience psychological and physical pain and suffering as a result of errors. Medical errors can lead to compromised or loss of life.
For this Discussion, you will find an actual case study of a medical error that has been reported in the media. You will also explain how the quality of patient care can be improved or how the medical error may be prevented. The case study that you select is used for additional assignments throughout the course.
To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review the Learning Resources.
- Focus on reviewing the following:
- The National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) found in this week’s Learning Resources.
- The Six Domains of Health Care Quality found in this week’s Learning Resources.
- Search the Internet and/or the Walden Library for a case study in which a patient has been harmed by a medical error. Use the suggested reputable sources found in your Learning Resources to help narrow down your search.
- Be sure that your case study (which may be an article or video) addresses at least one of the IOM six domains of U.S. healthcare that needs improvement.
- Also, review the list of the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) as it relates to the case study that you have selected. HLTH 4110 Drug Therapy Management Medical Error Case Discussion.
