Read the scenario and assignment instructions in the You Decide Overview. You have been asked by the hospital CEO to give her a briefing on the patient situation and alternative actions that may be taken to ensure both that the rights of the patients are preserved and that the risks to the hospital are minimized. Prepare a 500-word summary of the important components of this case, the laws that may have an impact on this case, and alternative course of action that the hospital may pursue to satisfy the parties involved with the scenario. The strategies and recommendations should be as specific as possible and should include the resources needed for implementation. Your primary text and journal and/or website research must be used as a reference to support your analysis.
