BP: The brand went from 1st to 7th (of 7) on our Loyalty Index when the well exploded. UK’s YouGov’s polls indicated no negative affects to the brand. The financials suggest the brand has lost all of its value in one year. 2. Toyota: The recalls – and attendant negative PR re: allegations that top execs knew, but failed to do anything – and liability suits resulted in a loss of nearly a quarter of the brand’s value. 3. Johnson & Johnson: Recalls can kill a brand, especially when you’re talking about medicine for infants and children, having to shut down plants, and stop distribution of your biggest names. Harder to swallow is a brand hit of nearly 30%. • 4. Blackberry: Once the darling of businesspeople and Wall Street, the brand has lost out to the iPhone, Android-based phones, and Samsung’s and LG’s (very) smart phones. Bottom line: brand value down nearly a third. • http://www.b2cmarketinginsider.com/branding/brand-disasters-of-2010-05408 accessed 22/01/2011 16:00 25 May 2017 Health Care is Also a Brand HSE – Hospital – DOH&C – Minister • Breast cancer misdiagnoses, unopened GP referral letters, unreported x-rays, ED crises, unacceptable waiting times for diagnostic procedures leading to delayed diagnoses, Nursing Home Scandals – these are just some of the issues that have raised very real and serious concerns in relation to patient safety in our health service over the last five years. 25 May 2017 25 May 2017 Irish Patients Association Stephen McMahon 25 May 2017 Irish Patients Association Stephen McMahon Patient Centered Health Service Health System power Society 25 May 2017 Inter woven relationships Irish Patients Association Stephen McMahon Principles of patient centered care •Access to health care services warranted by their condition •Information that is appropriate, relevant and timely •Involvement of patients and patient representatives in all decision making processes which will have an impact on patients’ lives • Empowerment / motivation of patients to take responsibility for their health care and be independent as possible and for patients organization to be recognized involved and encouraged to take a leadership role 25 May 2017 Irish Patients Association Stephen McMahon Domains of Risk Clinical Medication Management Inequality of Access 25 May 2017 Irish Patients Association S McMahon Irish Patients Association Stephen McMahon The Industry • “The food and drink sector is Ireland’s most important indigenous industry. 230,000 jobs are linked to it through direct and indirect employment.

Nutrition Issues ! • Nil By Mouth had to check with nurse. • Solid foods instead of mixed. • Taking Away food before its begun/finished. • Problems with diabetes needing fed certain times. • Hygiene drinking water touching all glasses. • Gloves Hands from bed pan to butter bread. (This was a few years ago !) • Dietary requirements not being adhered to. Depend on patient to advise what's right etc, Meals in A&E • Facilities can be limited when overcrowding. The situation can be better for trolleys on wards. However , in all cases, it is difficult for patients to safely eat there meals and there are, for example , no bed trays available. Nor could bed trays be safely used as their use and storage would represent an unacceptable trip and fall risk, Infirm patients are at risk of scalds etc when trying to eat and drink in these difficult circumstances. • NIL BY MOUTH PATIENT DIES AFTER BEING FED PUDDING” • Wed February 2,2011 • “A HOSPITAL trust has apologized after a “nil by mouth” patient died when nurses gave him a sponge pudding and custard” Family Impact Statement • “ She had a quiet life and she adored her nephews' and nieces and dearly loved by us all.
