A job accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to a job or work environment that makes it possible for an individual with a disability to perform job duties. Determining whether to provide accommodations involves considering the required job tasks, the functional limitations of the person doing the job, the level of hardship to the employer, and other issues. Accommodations may include specialized equipment, facility modifications, adjustments to work schedules or job duties, as well as a whole range of other creative solutions. http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/disability/ jobaccommodations.htm Tuesday January 12, 2010

Having set policy for the institution, the board must ensure that committees and management carry it out effectively. The board should not become involved in the details of day-to-day management and operations - these are delegated to the hospital administration and to the medical staff - but it must have mechanisms in place to review performance and hold the corporation's agents accountable. It is basic law that when authority for implementing policy is delegated, the authority can be revoked if performance is unsatisfactory. The board must not abdicate its responsibilities by delegating responsibilities and not monitoring their execution. Accordingly, all corporate officers and the medical staff are in fact subordinate to the board

Consent must be voluntary, competent and informed. The law presumes that in an emergency persons want to receive treatment. This presumption is rebutted if treatment is declined by a competent person, or if the person requiring treatment has an advance directive, such as a nonhospital DNR (do-not-resuscitate) order. In addition, if that person’s attorney in fact (e.g., someone who holds a durable power of attorney) is present, consent must be obtained.
