Research your state’s statutes that regulate health care professionals, including licensure, credentialing, certification, and registration requirements. In addition, research areas of potential criminal liability relating to these procedures, as well as professional misconduct. Write a 800 word paper that summarizes your findings in relation to one type of health care professional, such as a physician, nurse, pharmacist, or nurse practitioner. Include the following components: these are the questions- -Identify the civil complaint process for patients or consumers to use in the event of suspected professional misconduct or incompetence. •Explain the role of the respective regulatory agencies in investigating allegations and determining and applying any appropriate disciplinary action. these are the questions- -Identify the civil complaint process for patients or consumers to use in the event of suspected professional misconduct or incompetence. •Explain the role of the respective regulatory agencies in investigating allegations and determining and applying any appropriate disciplinary action. •Identify potential criminal liabilities for the health care professional that are related to abuses perpetrated in practices involving these procedures, as well as professional misconduct. •Describe appropriate risk management strategies and quality assurance programs to reduce the risk of liability and negligence. •Explain the process to follow in the event that criminal charges were filed for the described criminal behavior
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
