Book Overview
>>>Hospitals, nursing properties, and residence care agencies searching for approval by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) need to have a standing mechanism to deal with ethical issues. Most organizations have chosen to satisfy this with an interdisciplinary ethics committee. The best of these committees are knowledgeable, innovative, and efficient sources in their institutions. Many are nicely which means but lack the information, encounter, and expertise to negotiate adequately the complicated ethical problems that arise in clinical and organizational settings. Handbook for Wellness Care Ethics Committees is the initial resource to address the myriad responsibilities that ethics committees have, including education, case consultation, and policy improvement. Via case studies, the authors investigate concerns such as informed consent and refusal, selection generating and decisional capability, truth telling, decision-creating issues of minors, finish-of-life concerns, palliative care, justice in and access to health care services, and organizational ethics. Featuring an eight-chapter curriculum critique and discussion of the ethical foundations of wellbeing care practice, sample policies and procedures, draft guidelines, and key legal cases, this handbook will be essential studying for every single wellness care ethics committee member.

good for class,
I had to buy this for a class. My mini reference for ethics was more useful and a fraction of the cost
