HA 575 - Ethical and Legal Perspectives

Considers ethical questions involving inpatient care and the management of health care services. A professional ethic is defined through an examination of the relationships between health care providers and patients and the norms appropriate to their respective conduct. Issues relating to clinical ethics, informed consent of the patient, use of life support systems, and care of the profoundly retarded, critically injured, premature infants, and the elderly are discussed from moral, legal, and religious perspectives. Special attention is given to the legal issues inherent in the provision of health care services. Means of anticipating, preventing, or responding to legal issues are considered and the appropriate role of the health care manager in legal matters is examined.
