Healthcare Professionals Must Have A Strong Working Knowledge Of Ethic

Analyze a court case involving medical malpractice. Using your analysis of the case, you will address the facts pertaining to the medical standard of care, breach of care, and causation.

Further, you will use the facts from the original case to identify an ethics issue, determine an ethical theory that would help provide a safe and quality healthcare experience for the patient, apply a clinician–patient shared decision-making model, and augment or vary the facts of the case to change the outcome so that the physician is no longer liable for medical malpractice.

Specifically, your case study must address the following critical elements:

Paper For Above instruction

Introduction: Summarize the selected case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the problem, and the time period the incident occurred.

Medical Malpractice Component: Evaluate the case to address the legal components, malpractice policies similar to this case, and the standard of care given to the patient and how it was breached. Analyze how this malpractice case impacted stakeholders and healthcare consumers outside of the case, including those from different cultural backgrounds. Assess the accountability of the healthcare provider based on the severity of the malpractice.

Ethical Component: Identify ethical issues in the case and explain their role in the incident. Determine an ethical theory that would help resolve the issue and ensure safe, quality healthcare. Select a shared decision-making model that promotes patient safety. Propose ethical guidelines for healthcare providers to prevent similar incidents and defend how these guidelines hold providers accountable to self, profession, patients, and the public.

Recommendations: Recommend and defend strategies to improve medical practices and avoid future liability, including preventative measures the provider can implement.
