Surrogate and advance directives.docx
Three important legal/ethical issues in the scenario are:
1) Informed consent and the husband's refusal to honor the patient's advance directive specifying withdrawal of life support.
2) Determining decision-making capacity and authority of the surrogate given disagreement between husband and children.
3) Obligation to respect patient autonomy expressed in advance directive versus duty to family members' wishes to continue life support.

The final project for this course is an analysis of the legal and ethical issues involved in the below health care scenario.
A 72 year old woman was admitted to the Neurological Intensive Care Unit following a cerebral hemorrhage which left her with severe brain damage and ventilator dependent. One year before this event, the patient and her husband had drawn up "living wills" with an attorney. She was diagnosed by her treating physician as being in a permanent unconscious condition. The patient's living will specified that the patient did not want ventilator support or other artificial life support in the event of a permanent unconscious condition or terminal condition.
The patient's husband is her legal next of kin and the person with surrogate decision-making authority. When the living will was discussed with him, he insisted that the patient had not intended for the document to be used in a situation like the present one. Further discussion with him revealed that he understood that the patient would not be able to recover any meaningful brain function but he argued that the living will did not apply because her condition was not imminently terminal. He further indicated that he did not consider his wife to be in a permanent unconscious condition. The immediate family members (the couple’s adult children) disagreed with their father’s refusal to withdraw life support.
The treatment team allowed a week to pass to allow the husband more time to be supported in his grief and to appreciate the gravity of his wife’s situation. Nevertheless, at the end of this time, the husband was unwilling to authorize withdrawal of life support measures consistent with the patient's wishes as expressed in her living will.

The Three Strikes Law in Florida
The Three Strikes Law in Florida prohibits physicians from maintaining their medical license after three incidents of medical malpractice. An incident is determined by a court, arbitration, or medical board and involves negligent care that breaches the standard of care. The board must find clear and convincing evidence of negligence, a higher standard than typical malpractice cases. In practice, very few physicians have received a strike in the first six years due to the rigorous process required.
Lecture 18 Medical Errors: Ethical, professional and Legal Aspects
This document discusses medical errors, including definitions, types, causes, disclosure, and prevention. It defines medical errors as the failure to complete a planned action as intended or using the wrong plan. Types of errors include missed diagnoses, inappropriate discharges, and incorrect dosages. Common causes are ignorance, fatigue, faulty communication, and system flaws. When disclosing errors to patients, physicians should do so promptly, accept responsibility, apologize, and outline plans to rectify harm and prevent recurrence. Error prevention includes checklists, electronic records, guidelines, and staff training. In Saudi Arabia, medical errors are divided into regulatory offenses and technical offenses, which are evaluated based on standards known by practitioners and acknowledged by experts.

Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.

Criminal Aspects of Health Care and Antitrust
Slide #
Scene/Interaction
Narration
Slide 1
Scene 1
Professor Charles enters classroom and introduces the topics for today’s lesson and begins the lecture.
Prof Charles
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. Today, we are going to discuss criminal law, antitrust, and health care….
In an effort to provide you a review of criminal law as it relates to the healthcare industry, I will begin with the procedural aspects of criminal law as well as a an overview of cases that have occurred in health care facilities.
A
crime
is any social harm defined and made punishable by law. The objectives of criminal law are to maintain public order and safety. Crimes are generally classified as misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor is an offense punishable by less than one year in jail and/or a fine ( for example, petty larceny). A felony is a much more serious crime (for example, rape and murder) and is generally punishable by imprisonment.
Let’s first discuss criminal procedure which regulates the process for addressing violations of criminal law. Who can describe the process of arrest and arraignment?
Casey:
Prosecution usually begins with a police arrest or a warrant for an arrest. The arraignment is a formal reading of the
accusatory instrument,
a document which accuses the defendant of an offense and includes the setting of bail.
Donald
: I would agree, but I would add that after the charges are read the defendant pleads
guilty
or
not guilty
. Then the court sets bail, if any, and the judge sets a date for the defendant to return to court.
Prof. Charles
: Absolutely.
What happens after the arraignment?
Casey
: I would say there is a
conference
and then the
criminal trial.
Prof. Charles
: Excellent Casey. What occurs in the
conference
?
Donald:
The
conference
occurs if the defendant does not plead guilty. Plea bargaining commences with the goal of an agreed-upon disposition. If no disposition can be reached, the case is adjourned, motions are made, and further plea bargaining takes place. After several adjournments, a case may be assigned to a trial court.
Prof. Charles
: Great job, Donald! Now let’s take a look at the criminal trial.
Slide 2
Check Your Understanding

A. Defends the rights of the prosecutor.
B. Protects the rights of the defendant.
C. Represents the interests of the law
Correct Feedback:
B. In protecting the rights of the defendant, the defense attorney is often not very popular and usually sits in the proverbial “hot seat.”

3.1 Consumer protection act in Medical Profession.pptx
This document discusses consumer protection laws in the medical profession in India. It outlines the duties of doctors, including providing standard care, obtaining informed consent from patients, and maintaining confidentiality. It also discusses when a doctor-patient relationship is established and what constitutes negligence. The document advises doctors to prevent malpractice complaints by communicating effectively with patients, maintaining accurate documentation, obtaining professional indemnity insurance, and staying up to date on medical ethics and laws through continuing education.
8 Regulatory and professional oversight.ppt
This document discusses regulatory and professional oversight of medical laboratories in Ethiopia. It covers workplace legal issues, licensure and inspection of laboratories, codes of professional ethics, and accreditation programs. Specifically, it notes that while legal cases between health providers and patients are not common currently in Ethiopia, standards are moving towards those of developed countries. Laboratory managers must be aware of legal issues and ensure proper documentation, training, and insurance to protect against liability. Government regulation and licensure aim to ensure quality services and standards of care.
Impact-of-Legal-Issues-for-Todays-Nurse-1
This document discusses legal issues in nursing. It begins by outlining the different types of law that govern nursing practice, including constitutional law, common law, statutory law like Nurse Practice Acts, and administrative law. It then discusses the key components of Nurse Practice Acts and how they delineate nursing scope and protect nurses from unlicensed practice charges. The document also examines definitions of nursing, scope of practice, and professional resources. It outlines common legal issues nurses face like negligence, malpractice, assault, battery, and HIPAA violations. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on changing laws and practices to avoid legal issues in nursing.

Healthcare professionals must have a strong working knowledge of ethics and law to be competent and successful. A qualified professional knows how to provide safe, quality healthcare to a population of culturally diverse consumers. To address the needs of all patients, you can apply models such as shared decision making, where patients are encouraged to share their preferences and needs. The application of this model requires that healthcare professionals know how to apply ethical theories such as patient autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and fidelity when caring for patients. On a daily basis, healthcare professionals face ethical dilemmas involving patients and colleagues. Understanding how to effectively apply the code of ethics in your field, and various other codes of professional conduct, is an important skill required of all healthcare professionals. By applying ethical decision making, you positively impact the delivery of safe, quality healthcare. Under certain circumstances, healthcare professionals can be sued by patients for malpractice; it is more common for physicians to be sued when patients are injured or die as a result of their medical care. Healthcare professionals need a clear understanding of the elements of medical malpractice (standard of care, breach, causation, and damages) and how they are applied by a judge in a court of law. Healthcare professionals play a critical role due to the nature of their relationship with both patients and physicians. To remain competent and grow in the field, healthcare professionals are expected to understand how their professional responsibility includes a wide-ranging accountability to self, their profession, their patients, and the public. Your final case study for this course will require you to analyze a court decision in which a physician was found liable for medical malpractice. You will focus on facts pertaining to the medical standard of care, breach of care, and causation, and explain how they were applied to law. You will then use the facts of the case to identify an ethics issue and determine an ethical theory that would help provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient. Next, you will apply a clinician–patient shared decision-making model to describe how the ethics issue could be resolved. You will also include a discussion about possible violations of the code of ethics in you ...
Legal Implications In Nursing Practice
The document discusses several key legal implications in nursing practice, including sources of law, licensure, risk management, and the use of restraints. It notes that law establishes the framework for legal nursing actions and differentiates nurse responsibilities. Licensure is required and can be revoked for incompetence, misconduct or crimes. Risk management focuses on preventing injuries to patients and staff and reducing liability. Restraint use must be ordered, implemented safely and for the least time possible.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
