Healthcare Case

Overview of the topic

The topic is related with the role of a healthcare administrator who needs to introduce a change by having the support from stakeholders. The change that needs to be implemented is the introduction of a new anti-biotic to be given to the patients one hour before surgery starts. The reason is that the new anti-biotic would help in reducing the post-op wound infections. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies (CMS) have also provided their own recommendations related to the application of specific anti-biotic during the surgery.
