M8D1: When Professional Ethics Clashes with Legal Requirements or Policy No unread replies. No replies. As always, our capstone discussion will simulate a face-to-face classroom discussion. We will go through the questions as a group beginning with the first question. As we answer each of the questions, we will move to the next one together. Read what others have said and add to the discussion in a substantive manner. The earlier in the week that you begin posting, the deeper the conversation and learning will be. The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately. In your opinion, based on what you have learned throughout your studies: How might ethics conflict with policy or legal requirements in providing health services? What’s at stake in these sorts of conflicts? As you discuss, think about such conflicts in professional situations you have encountered or discussed in previous courses. For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate what you learned from reading as well as additional supportive articles or videos that you choose to include. The remaining knowledge application questions will be based on the Scenario. Please review the scenario before continuing on with the discussion. Please respond to the following discussion questions: What are the most concerning legal and policy concerns in this scenario? What policy guidelines would be helpful to us in exploring and addressing these issues? In module 7, we discussed ethics in great depth. Now, let’s talk about conflicts between ethics and the legal and policy concerns we are charged to address. In this scenario, does conflict exist or is the organization exempted from any responsibility toward the participants as the service/program was part of a research project? As we identify potential conflicts, elaborate on concerns in applying ethical guidelines to this situation. Contemplate how this situation might be viewed in your emphasis. In module 7, we explored resources that might support us in the ethical decision-making process. Given the legal and policy issues involved in this situation, which of the resources from last week would be useful here? Are there additional resources you would want to make use of? Why?

Compare and contrast the public health responses to HIV and influenza epidemics.  There are many ways to try to respond to the threat from a pathogen.  These include surveillance of nonhuman host populations for potentially dangerous new strains, surveillance of hospitals to track unusual occurrences of diseases, attempts to predict the evolution of novel strains, development of vaccines, development of drug therapies, campaigns to change people’s behavior, implementation of biosecurity practices for livestock, development of tests for disease and protocols for who to test.  Please describe what measures have been employed to prevent or contain HIV and influenza outbreaks, and why they have been employed.  For example, one method to prevent influenza epidemics is to implement biosecurity practices for livestock.  Wild avian flu viruses can jump into farmed poultry before jumping from poultry into humans.  Therefore, implementing basic biosafety measures (such as erecting physical barriers to prevent contact between wild birds and poultry, restricting the movement of poultry between farms, and vaccinating poultry) can greatly reduce the risk of the infection of poultry with wild influenza viruses.

Health Care Informatics and System Breaches ScenarioYou are the health information officer at a large hospital. You have learned a significant information technology failure or breach has occurred within your hospital. Using the Internet or the Strayer University library database, identify other health care organizations or health care providers that have recently had a significant information technology failure or breach. Write a report to your staff, notifying them of the failure or breach, how such failures or breaches have affected similar organizations, and how those organizations resolved the issue.InstructionsWrite a 4–5-page report for your staff in which you: Outline four key factors contributing to the other organizations’ HIMS failures or breaches. Analyze three ways the HIMS failures impacted the organizations’ operations and patient information protection, privacy, or personal safety. Diagnose the leadership teams’ reactions to the failures. Analyze whether the leadership teams took sufficient measures to address various stakeholder groups impacted. Next, consider whether the other organizations had sufficient resources in place to prevent these occurrences. If not, identify where most of the failures occurred. Suggest three outcomes for the facility and state and explain whether you agree with the overall verdict or violation. Recommend at least three best practices your hospital can adopt to avoid such HIMS failures or breaches in the future. Provide support for these recommendations. Explain one current government requirement requiring all health care organizations to ensure health care and patient information is secure and information breaches and technology failures are minimized. At a minimum, provide these headings within your report: summary statement, background information, and recommendations.
