Code Black Present the Condition in LA County Hospital

 

Discussion Board: All clinical professions working in a well-managed healthcare organization are “credentialed,” in the sense that their preparation and prior performance are validated. Why are physicians and some others (see

Chapter 6) credentialed under formal peer review and board approval? Would you consider expanding either formal review or board approval to other professionals, such as nurses?

Code Black: A look into America’s busiest ER (2014)

Code Black Present the Condition in LA County Hospital

Written and Directed by Ryan McGarry

 

Life and death struggles aren’t the only battles raging in emergency departments. There’s also the less visible war between doctors’ ideals and the challenges of practicing medicine in today’s political and economic healthcare

environment.The title “Code Black” refers to a specific medical condition: a patient in cardiopulmonary arrest whose suffering is so great that alleviating it requires a whole team of providers. This documentary by Ryan McGarry, a

physician, and filmmaker who shot “Code Black” while he was a resident at LA County General, tells us of another definition. It was created to describe the condition of the emergency room’s waiting area in terms of color-coding.

Code Black means things are as bad as they can get. It means the “system” that is the county hospital is overwhelmed, as a body is overwhelmed during a heart attack, and may in fact be on the edge of death. As this bleak but

sadly illuminating movie shows us, the whole U.S. healthcare system is in Code Black. The advent of limited socialized medicine hasn’t begun to ease the misery.

 

You will watch this 2014 documentary and will then prepare (by using the 3 statements/questions below) a 3 – 4 page essay/critique of this film incorporating your thoughts and some external research. Be clear and concise in

explaining your arguments and use credible sources. Your essay paper should be written in APA format and structured to cover the following questions.

This film is available from many sources for a nominal fee.You are responsible for acquiring and watching this film.

 

According to the film, the vast majority of our healthcare system is driven by a desire for profit. As a result, the patients who are in the direst need of care are also the ones who have the fewest options for getting it. With the

safety net for the entire country consisting of less than 30 government-run facilities that are understaffed and underfunded, our healthcare system is shortchanging the most vulnerable among us…and, potentially, it’s

shortchanging itself, and all of us, in the process.

QUESTION 1: Using our text as a source for support of your discussion, address funding, staffing, community health, preventative vs. reactive healthcare, and the For-Profit (FP) vs. Not for Profit (NFP) HCO.

 

There is a candid moment in Code Black in which McGarry admits to the camera that he needs to help a patient but is putting it off because he doesn’t want to attend to the mountain of routine paperwork that entails. The film

does a good job of showing the demoralizing effects of all the red tape emergency physicians must deal with. In particular, we see how the oppressive burden of paperwork, quotas, and metrics detract from the natural

camaraderie of the emergency department.

 

QUESTION 2:If you find yourself in an ED and the staff seems rushed, distracted, and not caring about you, will you have a better understanding of what they’re dealing with? Please discuss issues with volume, intensity, EMTALA,

and (most importantly) the shift of primary care from the physician’s office to the ED.

 

There is a patient in Code Black who has diabetes but is unable to afford medication and is in danger of losing a leg as a result. A Resident lament that, had the patient been provided with medication that costs pennies a day, he

would not now be in need of emergency treatment that will cost thousands of dollars. This film drives home that old cliché about an ounce of prevention, now demands to be reckoned with in dollars and cents, if only for the

benefit of those who speak no other language. And those of us who are fortunate enough to be in good health might take this lesson to heart— guarding your health now is better than fixing it later.

 

QUESTION 3: As a healthcare administrator, responsible for maintaining a viable and economically sustainable facility, what can you do to address and manage this situation? Again, use the film, our text and your personal

thoughts to respond.
