This case obviously involves the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, of which Title I specifically protects employees and those seeking employment, all of which is enforced by the EEOC, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  Along with the well know ADA there are other laws and acts that prohibit discrimination of those with disabilities such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 section 501 which specifically addresses employment.

If the employee can prove that their illness has risen to the level of a disability they could involve their employer in a potential discrimination suit.

The FMLA, or Family and Medical Leave Act allows for up to 12 weeks leave if the employee works for a covered company and has a serious medical condition that precludes them from performing the essential functions of their job.

Similar to Bragdon vs. Abbott in which it was declared HIV could be considered a disability, so could a chronic illness such as diabetes when considering the extent to which it affects the employee.

 This scenario sounds like it could have easily been caused by a lack of education.  A very focused training would need to take place targeting management to educate them on the laws that protect workers, specifically employees with illness or disability.  It would also be prudent to have a more generalized training for all employees, but possibly timed appropriately so as not to draw attention to the situation and cause any undue uncomfort to the affected employee.

Some strategies you can use, as a health care manager, to overcome human resources challenges are ensuring compliance with laws and regulations are kept, leadership development training, and recruiting talented employees.

Employment laws change regularly. Human Resources Managers are responsible for keeping up with these changes. A Health Care manager must be confident that the Human Resources team is doing their job in order to successfully avoid lawsuits, and pass audits. Regular training can assist with this. There should be scheduled training times so that new information can be pushed out to those who need it. Leadership development training is another strategy that can be utilized in order to overcome challenges. When the leadership team in an organization is strong and knowledgeable, it will show in the rest of the organization. The same goes if there are inept leaders in an organization. Last but not least, hiring talented, reliable and goal oriented employees is very important to an organization. As much influence as a leadership team has on the employees, the employees have on one another. If an employee is not reliable it offsets the team work in the organization. The employee should also be goal oriented so that the underlying mission of the organization is being achieved. 

A future challenge I believe I will have to overcome as a healthcare manager is lack of nurses. Nurses are already in such high demand. Many individuals want to become a nurse but the fail rate of nursing school is very high. So many health care facilities are unstaffed with nurses as it is. More and more healthcare facility are opening but are lacking the staffing or nursing they need. In turn, nurses are being over worked and are getting burned out in their profession.
