Selected Answer: USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law in October 2001 immediately following the 9/11 attacks, and during the height of the anthrax letters scare. This law includes a multitude of terrorism-related policies. Among them are provisions related to acquiring, handling, and transporting particularly dangerous pathogens; assistance to first responders; and funding for substantial new investments in bioterrorism preparedness and response. Public Health Improvement Act of 2000 The Public Health Improvement Act of 2000 has 10 titles, or sections, 9 of which address traditional public health interests such as sexually transmitted diseases, Alzheimer disease research, organ donation, clinical research, and laboratory infrastructure.

In other words, a hospital can also be held liable when its own negligent acts as a corporation cause or contribute to a patient’s injury. Several general areas give rise to litigation around hospitals’ direct quality of care duties to patients: failure to screen out incompetent providers (i.e., negligence in the hiring of clinicians), failure to maintain high-quality practice standards, failure to take adequate action against clinicians whose practices fall below accepted standards, and failure to maintain proper equipment and supplies  Question 20 Needs Grading Briefly describe how health insurance benefits are provided to the ACA Medicaid expansion population.
