A patient is the primary focus in healthcare, therefore the patients shall be treated with respect and dignity. Patients granting professional authorities to help them with their suffrage from illness has ensued

As well as having informed consent about a certain procedure or whether or not they want to provide their medical information for research. The other part of this provision is to make sure your patient is being provided with safe practice. In the past I have questioned care that was given to my patient that did not follow our hospitals policy. In this instance it was how fast I was ordered to infuse blood on a patient with a history of CHF. In this case the doctor was unaware of the change of patient status or policy and applauded me for speaking up. This is not always the case. In other instances you may need to report patient care providers to the appropriate personal to advocate for your patient and as of yet I have not experienced this first hand but know of occurrences elsewhere. It could be as small as a medication that is ordered in the wrong dose or route. We are the voice of the patient and are here to help promote their safety. This provision is in place to protect the patient and public from possible harm.

Why is important for the HIPAA and the Bill of Right work in the healthcare system.

Oral healthcare practitioners function as a part of the health care team and have the statutory obligation to abide by several acts and codes of practice at all times. In New Zealand, these include The Code of Health and Disability Services Consumer’s Rights Regulation 1996 and The Privacy Act which were developed to protect the benefits of patients who seek dental care from their respective oral health practitioners. The Code of Rights functions as regulation under The Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994 to facilitate a fair and consistent standard of practice throughout the sector.(Stent 1999) According to the Act, all consumers of health and disability services are entitled to ten basic rights outlined by The Code which focus on the quality of services in health and disability sector.(Stent 1999) In dentistry, the principles of the Codes of rights is seen to be parallel to The Standard Framework for Oral Health Practitioners set by the New Zealand Dental Council which outlines the ethical principles, professional and practice standards to be observed by all oral health practitioners in New Zealand.(Dental Council 2014) The Privacy Act 1993 on the other hand, contains twelve main principles that focus on the handling of personal information of consumers. From the Privacy Act, the Health Information Privacy Codes 1994 were created where one or more of the privacy principles were modified specifically for health sector agencies in managing patients’ health

It was a cold December morning when Monica, a community college student, woke up with a stomach pain. She felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she thought it could have been a bad burrito that she ate last night with her friends. So she went to her bathroom and realized that she was constipated as well. Out of the curiosity, she decided to take a close look at her stool and found traces of blood in her dark stool. At that moment, she knew she have to visit her doctor to talk about the symptoms. The next day, she visited her doctor office and the doctor sent her to do a screening test. Once the test result came back, Monica have colon cancer and the treatment cost her about $67,856. Now, Monica is one of the thousands of Americans that filed bankruptcy due to high medical cost. Before 2010, the United States was the only major developed country without an universal health care. The issues of having an effective, universal health care has been going on since the 1930s, when the Roosevelt administration pushed their agenda into implementing an universal health care for all Americans, but it was not passed. However, the success of implementing a public health care was President Lyndon Johnson when he signed Medicare and Medicaid into law during the early 1960s (Andrew and Walter, PBS). Another milestone of universal health care is when President Obama passed and signed the “The Affordable Care Act” in 2010, which opened a Federal healthcare marketplace and the requirement for

Health care regulations have developed in a lagging fashion throughout the history of the United States health care system. The regulations governing health care are a set of prescriptive rules that have cause the health care system to adjust and improve the quality of care provided to patients. Brennan and Berwick state, “functions for regulation aims at increasing equality in society. In health care, this sort of regulation typically involves efforts to increase access to health care.”2 These regulations have a had far-reaching effect on the safety, efficacy, cost, information, availability of medications. If a society does not have access to unadulterated medications, correctly labeled medications, and truthful information then there

In the United States all patients are granted certain rights and if denied these rights they can take legal action. Every individual has the right to participate in all aspects of their care (Pozgar, 2012). Patients must be informed by their care team of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to treatment. After that it is up to the patient to determine whether or not they want to forego treatment or not. “Failure to respect this right can result in legal action for assault and battery” (Pozgar,

I will argue for a universal healthcare system in the United States through a comparison of feminist ethics and traditional ethics. I find that the following considerations from Virginia Held’s Ethics of Care, and Kant’s view on autonomy provide a convincing argument for universal healthcare coverage.

I believe that being respectful or showing respect is one of the most important values that everyone should have as a person in general because it shows that you appreciate the individual and that they are worth your time. I plan to uphold this value by always treating not only the patients but everyone with respect and treating them the way that I want to be treated as well as showing respect to my profession. I would also continue to uphold this value even if I do not agree with certain decision that the patients may make because I believe that each individual person has their own right to do whatever it is for their own selves and there is no reason for me to persuade someone with my own beliefs. I also believe in and value the principle of accountability. I believe that being responsible is another important value for me to have because it shows that you care and that you are thinking of the best interest of the patient. I plan to uphold this by taking responsibility not only my own actions, but also being accountable for my colleagues and ensuring that the patients is receiving the best quality of care. I also believe in the value of honesty and integrity. I believe that being honest and truthful very important,

Today’s health care industry is more than just providing medical services to individuals in need; it encompasses various laws, regulations, and policies that direct how care should be provided and what the ramifications of non-compliance will have on the health care provider and the organizations where services are rendered.

Patient’s Bill of Rights essentially guarantees treatment to the recipient, as well as all full disclosure, and consent to care. This illustrates that the power and level of care is in the individuals hands. Furthermore, a new Bill of Right was enacted with the Affordable Care Act in 2010 much of what was outlined gave new patients protection against insurance company’s (“Rights” 1). This is important because it only strengthens the

Healthcare can be defined as the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, injury, illness, and other physical and mental impairments that human beings may have. The healthcare system is made up of an organization of trained people that have resources to deliver health care services to meet the needs of the target population. Health care is practiced by licensed individuals in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and other health professions. Access to healthcare is different depending on the country and is largely influenced by its culture, political system and pre-existing health policies. With japan being the country of choice, its healthcare history, political system, and culture will be compared to the United States system, history, and culture.

The Patients’ Bill of Rights outlines the relationship between their insurers, health plans, and care providers. Most healthcare facilities have adopted a condensed version of the Patient’s Bill of Rights, and that information is shared with the patient when they are seen at that facility (Proctor, 2017).

The Patient Bill of Rights is a list of guarantees in which any patient has the right of. The patient has the freedom to make these rules about themselves. Patients have the right to seek consultation with the doctor of their choice. Patients are also able to contract mutual terms with their provider. They have the right to enter their records and to have confidentiality. They have the right to use whatever resource to purchase the care of their choice. Believe it or not they also have the right to refuse treatment and to be informed of their medical condition. Anything having to do with the patient they have the right to that information, knowledge, and most resources.
