True or False:

1. Diane purchases a $1,200 television set from Best Buy, paying for the set with a check that later bounces. Before Best Buy realizes that Diane’s check is no good, Diane resells the television set, in its unopened box, to Patty for $350. Patty has no knowledge of Diane’s bad check. Using UCC Article 2 voidable title rules, Best Buy will be able to recover the television set from Patty.          
2. One of the important distinctions between the UCC’s voidable title and void title rules is that the voidable title situation involves a voluntary transfer of the goods by the seller while the void title situation does not.                                  
3. Carla purchases goods from Karen making payment with a check that later bounces. Carla transfers the goods to Joe, a good faith purchaser for value, before Karen discovers what has happened. Joe, in turn, sells the goods to Betty who knows all about the bounced check involving Carla. Under the UCC’s umbrella, or shelter rule, Betty can take good title to the goods from Joe even though she could not have taken good title had she purchased the goods from Carla.                                                                                                                    
4. Sony has a warehouse filled with 5,000 Model 320X VCR’s. Sears contracts with Sony to purchase 3,000 of the VCR’s. In order to properly identify the 3,000 units to be sold to Sears Sony must physically separate the units from the remaining 2,000 units.                                                                                          
5. A buyer can have an insurable interest in goods even though the buyer has neither possession nor title to the goods.
6. An insurable interest in goods can be held by either a buyer or a seller, but no both at the same time.                                                                                          
7. For an “F.O.B. shipping point” contract, the risk of loss passes from the seller to the buyer when the goods reach the buyer.                                                      
8. Under the residual risk of loss provisions of UCC Article 2, if the seller is a merchant, the risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the buyer takes physical possession of the goods.                                                                        
9. A transaction involving goods is considered a sale on approval if the goods are delivered primarily for use.                                                                                  

10. If a buyer accepts goods, and then rightfully rejects those goods, the determination of who bears the risk of loss will depend upon whether or not the buyer has insurance coverage.

True or False:

1. The UCC equivalent of a common law “option” is a “firm offer.”                           

2. The “mirror image” rule for common law acceptances has been adopted by the UCC.                                

3. A firm offer under the UCC is irrevocable for up to six months.                              

4. Unlike common law contracts, UCC contracts can be modified without new or additional consideration being provided.

5. For sales contracts, the UCC rejects the common law parol evidence rule.              

6. A UCC contract for the sale of goods with a total price of $400 or more must be in writing under the Statute of Frauds in order to be enforceable.                                

7. The common law rule of substantial performance is very similar to the perfect tender rule adopted by the UCC.                                                                                

8. Although common law contracts have adopted a number of UCC contract performance doctrines, the obligation of good faith is not among them.                  

9. The UCC generally follows common law principles governing mitigation and liquidation of damages.   

10. UCC Article 2 governs the sale of both real and personal property.

1. After reading the case study, I did not realize how vital walkthroughs are for the benefit of the facility. The feedback that this hospital got from this simple walkthrough was astounding. For example, the hospital was not keeping the bathrooms clean and that by this action it does affect what the patient thinks of the hospital. Also not being able to give directions to family members should have never had happened. The doctor even said that's how he was treated at his ED was going to make him need care. The values of walkthroughs can completely change the hospital to make it a better place for the patient care and quality of the overall hospital. The significance of this walkthrough did greatly improve the hospital's level of quality care. The first thing the hospital walkthrough made him realize was the "patient" aka the doctor had never walk through the patient's entrance of the hospital. As a patient, he called the hospital for example and was told that he was having an acute asthma attack in the Operation Center and was put on hold for several minutes then transferred his call to ED. The second thing the walkthrough found was that family members were trying to get information on the phone from a doctor and tried to get medical directions, but that the staff member was unable to give them instructions so and they transferred him to another person to get directions and the instructions given were incorrect directions. The third thing the walkthrough provided to the hospital was all of the signage for directions around the outside of the hospital were covered by plants and shrubbery, so no one knew which direction to go. Once arriving at the ED, it was chaos, and very filthy. One account said it felt like they were going to the county jail. The one point that stood out to me is that a family member went into the bathroom and it was so dirty, and they thought how could they care for my family if they can't even keep the restrooms clean. I believe this is one of the most important parts of the walkthrough because after all, they've been through already if they can't even have a clean bathroom what does this to say about the doctor's level of care in the hospital. Are they following proper procedures to disinfect and make sure everything is clean? The final thing that they found after conducting their walkthrough was that there were no hooks for their clothes to be hung when they had to change into a patient's gown. They have to throw their clothes onto the floor. The doctor even said that he always thought they were neglected for just throwing the clothes on the floor, but he didn't realize that there were no hooks or hangers for the clothes to be stored properly. I believe if they would make just these simple improvements like cleaning the bathrooms, making sure the patients have hooks in their room, giving proper directions to give family members follow up proper care instructions their ED would improve rapidly, and patient level of care would improve greatly.

2. The difference between patient satisfactory and patient experience is how the values are prioritized. Patient experience is going above and beyond to make sure the patient is satisfied and is happy with the services that the hospital has provided

for them. Patient satisfaction is more of the outcome measure of how they were treated and is sometimes is a process measure that is done. In some cases patient satisfaction can be a negative outcome but still have a positive patient experience. This means that the patient satisfaction can include true and false positives. The one that is most meaningful to patients is their patient experience. I believe patient experience is more valuable because if the patient is not happy with their experience, then the hospital did not go above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of for the patient. The patient in turn isn't going to talk highly of the hospital, and the bottom line is I am not going to be satisfied and happy. The largest and widest marketing device I believe in healthcare is by word of mouth. If the patient has a bad experience at the hospital, they're going to talk about it to their family members and everyone else who would listen to them complains. Same goes if the patient had a great experience at a hospital if everything was amazing, and the hospital went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met will are also going to tell people about their experiences, and more people are more likely going to want to make a choice to come to your hospital instead of going to somewhere else. If you just focus on patient satisfaction you're only going to get the outcome measure or process measure not what the patient is going to say to other potential patients.
