C806 Introduction to Pharmacology
Task 3
A1. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The United States healthcare system is troubled by billing mistakes that amount to billions of dollars of
lost revenue each year. (Courtney, 2022) In this scenario the difference between the billed blood
infusion and the actual blinatumomab infusion that was provided is $6,900. This mistake occurred a
total of seven times within the last year amounting to a sum of $48,300 of lost revenue. Healthcare
facilities rely on reimbursement to remain functional; this is why it is so important to submit correct
insurance claims.
A2. ISSUES
Quality of care was affected because the wrong transfusion was mistakenly documented in the
medication reconciliation section many times. This can result in the wrong infusion being given to the
patient in the future, potentially causing patient harm or death. This may constitute negligence and
could result in a lawsuit being brought against the hospital. Also, the medical record is considered a legal
record so proper documentation is imperative to maintain it’s integrity.
A3. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
I. STAFF TO BE INCLUDED: All clinical and administrative staff
