Answer:

Some members could be alarmed but it doesn't necessarily mean that Community Hospital has lower-quality care than Middle Hospital and University Hospital. It is important to identify that this alarm could also come from the increased economic pressure on hospitals.

R.W. Dubois, R.H. Brook and W.H. Rogers (1987) have studied the death rate index as a potential screen for quality of medical care since the 80s. In their article, they state that hospital with higher death rates "may provide inadequate quality of care or have uniquely ills patient populations." This would lead the Quality Task Force to explore and define the ills patient population of the Community Hospital.

Mary E.Goss and Joseph I. Reed (1974) explore the quality evaluating practices of hospital care through severity-adjusted death rates in the 70s. Their analysis suggested that differences in technological adequacy, control status and teaching status of the hospitals partially support the validity of death rate as a quality index; but "the index is too dependent of the local population".

Therefore a population characterization must be necessary to bring up in this discussion as a cohort study. Goss and Reed also stated that the death rate "may be more productive in the long run". This means that the death rate would be better estimated in a longitudinal study as a quality care index.

Means to demand payment for protection?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A protection racket is a scheme where a potentially hazardous group guarantees protection from violence, looting, raiding, piracy, and other such threats posed by them outside the sanction of the law, to polities, businesses, individuals, or other entities and groups that pay to them in cash or kind. In other words, it is a racket that sells security, traditionally physical security. Through the credible threat of violence, the racketeers deter people from swindling, robbing, injuring, sabotaging or otherwise harming their clients. Protection rackets tend to appear in markets in which the police and judiciary cannot be counted on to provide legal protection, because of incompetence (as in weak or failed states) or illegality (black markets). Protection rackets are indistinguishable in practice from extortion rackets and distinguishable from private security by some degree of implied threat that the racketeers themselves may attack the business if it fails to pay for their protection. A distinction is possible between a "pure" extortion racket in which the racketeers might agree only not to attack a business and a broader protection racket offering some real private security in addition to such extortion. The criminals might agree to defend a business from any attack by either themselves or third parties (other criminal gangs). However, in reality, that distinction is doubtful, because extortion racketeers may have to defend their clients against rival gangs to maintain their profits. By corollary, criminal gangs may have to maintain control of territories (turfs), as local businesses may collapse if forced to pay for protection from too many rackets, which then hurts all parties involved. Certain scholars, such as Diego Gambetta, classify criminal organizations engaged in protection racketeering as "mafia", as the racket is popular with both the Sicilian Mafia and Italian-American Mafia.

Explanation:

A protection racket is an operation where criminals provide protection to persons and properties, settle disputes and enforce contracts in markets where the police and judicial system cannot be relied upon. Protection racketeers or mafia groups operate mostly in the black market, providing buyers and sellers the security they need for smooth transactions; but empirical data collected by Gambetta and Varese suggests that mafia groups are able to offer private protection to corporations and individuals in legal markets when the state fails to offer sufficient and efficient protection to the people in need. Two elements distinguish racketeers from legal security firms. The first element is their willingness to deploy violent forms of retribution (going as far as murder) that fall outside the limits the law normally extends to civilian security firms. The other element is that racketeers are willing to involve themselves in illegal markets
