The United States District Court authorized the ARRT to seize control of the review company in 2008, because of the 250,000 dollar judgment against the company (Renner, 2009). The company lost everything because of copy right infringement, because the exam and the questions in the exam are the property of ARRT. This is a very serious verdict and on the surface might seem too extreme, but what the review company did was incredibly damaging to the ARRT. The examination that is offered by the ARRT for licensure is 200 questions long and pulls its questions from a bank of questions. This bank of questions used year after year allows the ARRT to have consistency in the exam’s difficulty and allows the process to be fair because participants

It is our responsibility as medical professionals to put the patients and their safety first and ensure that quality care is given to them by qualified professionals. The second part of the ARRT Standard of Ethics is the rules of ethics, which are mandatory rules that are required to hold certification and registration in the profession of radiology. These rules state again that candidates are not allowed to sell the questions on the exam, disclosing information on the exam, and copying down information on the exam (ARRT, 2015). The participants who provided information to the review company were in violation of all these mandatory rules and by doing so made themselves ineligible for certification or registration into the profession. This is a serious punishment for a serious ethics violation. The high standards that the ARRT has for the profession is made clear and there to protect patients and ensure qualified professionals with a foundation of professional values are providing that quality care to patients. Not only were the participants who provided information at fault, but also the candidates who bought that

The Canadian Health Information Management Association Code of Ethics outlines a powerful standard for Health Information Management Professionals. When one becomes a member of CHIMA along comes the responsibility of following the code of ethics as faithfully and professionally as possible. Although the interpretation of the guidelines can vary among individuals and organizations, the basis and underlying meaning of each code should be synonymous. The ten codes set general expectations for HIM professionals that help the public understand the ethical views of CHIMA. With these ethics in place we are able to decrease the number of breaches, improve data quality and encourage lifelong learning. There are a number of breaches that occur in healthcare settings that go unreported on a daily basis. The reason for these cases going unreported could be the lack of knowledge of severity and consequences, or have a malicious intent. The case study is a definite breach of the CHIMA code of ethics- and could fall into numbers 1-10, but in my opinion is more relevant to numbers 2-3, 5-7 and 9. Jane should have acted in a more proactive manner reflecting CHIMA values and informed the appropriate individuals so that they correct actions could be made.
Radiologic technology is a satisfying and rewarding career. It is a technical and refined science. As a radiological technologist, there are many essential duties and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to be a good one. First of all, radiological technologists have to maintain a well-mannered and professional behavior when gathering information. They have to assure their patients that they are in good hands therefore; they give patients the uppermost quality of care and services. Second of all, the main responsibility of a healthcare provider is to keep all knowledge of a patient’s health record confidential or secluded. That means radiological technologists cannot talk about patients at home or with friends and classmates
employer, professional regulatory body, and the law for an unwarranted breach of confidence, it is essential that any disclosure of information is done appropriately within the requirements of the duty owed to the patient” (Griffith, 2015, p.358). The law is very strict and nobody has the right to violate the patient's confidentiality and have access to the medical information without been authorized by the patient. For this action Kevin will need written authorization in order to have access to the records. According to the Code of Ethics for Nurses is the nurse who is charged with helping to preserve the patient’s privacy by only asking the questions that are clinically relevant. “Confidentiality is

As noted, on February 29, 2016, the patient was nonetheless admitted to the UCR hospitalist. This was a senior member of the UCR hospitalist team who knew or should have known all of the policies and procedures for admission, and should never have admitted the patient as an attending to the hospital. In so doing, he was directly and deliberately interfering with the doctor patient relationship.
The physicians instead of making the call to the cardiology team sent the nurse to do so (Violation).
Also, whether there was collaboration between facility members to ensure quality care. More issues would be whether examinations were thorough and tests were analyzed before discharging the patient. The moral issue at stake in this case is if the facility believes they did the right thing or not. For example, the physician could not recall what instructions he gave Kelly’s father, but he did nothing to clarify the situation, he just gave the father a business card as if that would suffice for his inability to remember the instructions he assigned (Pozgar,
The reliability of an assessment in a perfect situation should produce the same results if marked by another tutor or if that examiner unknowingly receives the same paper again. If different marks are given the assessment is consequently unreliable and proves that this assessment is subjective.

“Professional integrity derives its substance from the fundamental goals or mission of the profession” (Wakin, 1996, para. 15). Meaning to say, individuals seek for a professional’s valued and ethical advice to which the professional holds their responsibility to maintain and exceeds the level of their expertise. For example, a general practitioner will treat a variety of patients, from all different walks of life with a plethora of different problems. It is their duty to diagnose and treat the patient to the best of their professional ability without prejudice. Another aspect of their duties is the principle of patient confidentiality. Medical professionals are legally bound to not divulge any information provided to them by their patients.
It has been established that there are at present no adequate forms of preventing CIPN (Cavaletti, 2014). Additionally, CIPN is often under-rated and under-reported particularly as patients do not like to miss treatments (Stubblefield et al., 2009). Therefore, comprehensive evaluations using standardized and sensitive assessment tools to prevent severe neurotoxicity are a critical step for early intervention. According to Stubblefield et al. (2012), it is essential a baseline assessment including any preexisting neuropathy and predisposing factors, such as diabetes, be performed prior to initiation of treatment. This baseline assessment should include not only subjective symptoms, but assessment of strength, reflexes and
Other concerns are conversations within the hospital cafeterias/lobbies about patients and their families, and employees sharing information throughout the hallways without a “need to know.” Once employees discover their colleagues looking at patient information without a “need to know basis,” and, other wrong doings according to the agency’s standards, their own sense of what is right and wrong instantly comes into question. Reporting the unethical behavior, the employee who had discovered the violations of patient rights is presented with a number of difficult choices. The legal basis for imposing liability for a breach of confidentiality is more extensive than ethical guidelines, which dictate the morally right thing to do.
