About this eTextbook
Frontline caregivers face ethical challenges that are very different from those encountered elsewhere in the organization. Healthcare professionals trained on a structured approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical issues in clinical settings can greatly improve the patient experience and the quality of care. Managing Healthcare Ethically: Clinical Challenges looks at dilemmas that occur in caring for individual patients and groups of patients in today's changing clinical environment.
Assembling columns originally published in American College of Healthcare Executives publications, in particular Healthcare Executive magazine, the book describes and shares practical solutions for the ethical issues that clinical practitioners regularly encounter. It also explores the important role that ethics committees perform in developing and applying policies. Topics covered include: Informed consentThe ethics of telemedicine and big dataPatient-centered careConflicts of interestEmpathy's role in improving resiliency Following each column, discussion questions stimulate conversation with colleagues or students.
