BACKGROUND: Take some time to research the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005. This landmark piece of legislation continues to be a critical law for health care managers to follow. While promoting patient safety and quality of care, this act also caused (and continues to cause) some tension between improving the quality of care provided with acknowledging and reporting responsibility for error in the health care settings.

ASSIGNMENT: Review the three types of patient safety events that are reportable under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act, and locate an example of such an event that has occurred under one of the three reportable categories.

Then:

1.  Clearly summarize the patient safety event. What (specifically) happened, what were the circumstances of the event, and what person(s)/position(s) was/were deemed to be at fault?

2.  What stakeholders were involved? What was the role of each? Often, these events involve several stakeholders, so consider all parties carefully.

3.  Articulate a specific plan for preventing this type of patient safety event from happening again. What (specifically) must change, be done differently, not be done, etc.?

4.  On the last page of your assignment, draft an email to communicate the prevention plan to your employees. Be clear and concise in what your expectations are, and who is responsible for all parts of the plan’s implementation and monitoring.

Briefly describe the factors that contributed to the overall stress in the case you chose, including psychosocial and cultural factors, temperament, etc

The Role of the Forensic Psychology Professional in Capital Punishment Sentencing

Mr. Fryer has a long history of psychiatric hospitalizations related to his diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. His delusions revolve around the belief in uniformed spies who have been sent to execute him. He reports auditory and visual hallucinations when not on his medication. He was arrested for trespassing after he was found sleeping in the delivery shed of a warehouse.

During his stay in jail, he was put on antipsychotic medications, and he was released with time served after spending fifty-four days in the jail. Upon his release, he returned to live on the streets and stopped taking his medications. While sleeping on a park’s bench, he was assaulted by several youths, who hit and kicked him. Although his assailants left him on the ground with no serious injuries, Mr. Fryer was convinced that the juveniles who assaulted him were spies who would return to assassinate him.

He found a seventeen-inch pipe to use as a defensive weapon, and, fearing for his life, he hid in the shadows the remainder of the evening. In the morning, he saw two uniformed youths approaching him. A twelve-year-old boy and his fourteen-year-old brother were on their way to a Boy Scout meeting. Mr. Fryer ran up behind the boys and started swinging the pipe wildly, screaming they would never take him alive. He struck the twelve-year-old boy on the head, causing him severe brain trauma. The fourteen-year-old boy was able to flee but only after receiving a blow on the face. Mr. Fryer returned to the twelve-year-old boy and bludgeoned him to death.

He was still hitting the lifeless body when the police arrived. As soon as the police car pulled up, he dropped the pipe and sat in silence as he was subdued. He was determined by the court to be not competent to stand trial and was committed to a state hospital for restoration of competence. After eight months of pharmacological treatment, he was determined by the court to be competent to stand trial and was subsequently tried and convicted of capital murder.

The following are the mitigating circumstances in this case:

· At the time of the offense, Mr. Fryer was under extreme emotional and mental distress.

· At the time of the offense, Mr. Fryer was substantially unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his act or conform his actions to the requirements of the law.

The following are the aggravating circumstances in this case:

· The crime was committed in a wanton, atrocious, and cruel manner.

· Mr. Fryer is likely to commit criminal acts in the future.

Tasks:

Respond to the following points in a minimum of 250 words using APA formatting and 2 references:

· You are hired by the defense to assist in the sentencing phase. Analyze the case study and address the following:

1. How should you proceed? Provide reasons to support your answer.

2.  What roles do the mitigating and aggravating circumstances play in capital sentencing?

3. What issues will you address as a forensic psychology professional?

4. How will you support your opinion in front of the court? Provide examples and references.
