The case studies now address professionals in each of these fields, supporting interprofessional education and making thematerial even more applicable and accessible to a wide range of mental health providers and students-in-training. For nearly fifteen years Practical Decision Making in Health Care Ethics has offered scholars and students a highly accessible and teachable alternative to the dominant principle-based theories in the field. Devettere\'s approach is not based on an ethics of abstract obligations and duties, but, following Aristotle, on how to live a fulfilled and happy life -- in short, an ethics of personal well-being grounded in prudence, the virtue of ethical decision making. This third edition is revised and updated and includes discussions of several landmark cases, including the tragic stories of Terri Schiavo and Jesse Gelsinger (the first death caused by genetic research). Devettere addresses new topics such as partial-birth abortion law, embryonic stem cell research, infant euthanasia in The Netherlands, recent Vatican statements on feeding tubes, organ donation after cardiac death, new developments in artificial hearts, clinical trials developed by pharmaceutical companies to market new drugs, ghostwritten scientific articles published in major medical journals, and controversial HIV/AIDS research in Africa. This edition also includes a new chapter on the latest social and political issues in American health care. Devettere\'s engaging text relies on commonsense moral concepts and avoids academic jargon. It includes a glossary of legal, medical, and ethical terms an index of cases and thoroughly updated bibliographic essays at the end of each chapter that offer resources for further reading. It is a true classic, brilliantly conceived and executed, and is now even more valuable to undergraduates and graduate students, medical students, health care professionals, hospital ethics committees and institutional review boards, and general readers interested in philosophy, medicine, and the rapidly changing field of health care ethics. Explains the NHS as a political environment, and concentrates on understanding the relationships of power rather than on the role of apparent authority. The book presents a range of management frameworks and personal examples to illustrate what a primary-care-led NHS means. Although students may have considerable knowledge from graduate courses in professional ethics, only in the context of clinical work do the nuances and complexities of ethical issues begin to emerge. Supervisors must be present and attentive to capture and fully utilize those proverbial teachable moments in which the applications of ethical principles and standards may be recognized and internalized. This book represents the confluence of ethics with supervision and consultation. With rapidly advancing technology and the ongoing discussion of health care reform post-Affordable Care Act, today\'s healthcare administrators require a strong foundation in practice-based ethics to confront the challenges of the current health care landscape. Ethics in Health Administration: A Practical Approach for Decision Makers, Fourth Edition focuses on the application of ethics to the critical issues faced by today\'s healthcare administrators. After establishing a foundation in theory and principles, the text encourages students to apply ethics to areas of change, regulation, technology and fiscal responsibility in healthcare. Thoroughly updated and more reader-friendly, the Fourth Edition has been significantly revised to include new cases, updated content, and additional resources to engage students while challenging them to think critically. Key Features: - New cases in every chapter based on real-world events help to emphasize chapter content and encourage students to apply ethics to realistic situations. - A new chapter on the Ethics in the Epoch of Change stresses major changes in healthcare, including the digital revolution, population health, ethics temptations and ethic resilience. - New coverage of emerging senior service markets and functional medicine are addressed in Chapter 6. - Every chapter now includes ethics application questions, summary statements, Web sites, and additional resources to further enhance learning.

General Practice Today explores the GP consultation in the context of external \'stressors\' and \'helpers\' that doctors use to make best clinical decisions. Over the last 30 years there has been a move towards mandatory training on legal aspects, risk scores and guidance. Additionally, with widespread access to IT there has been a huge growth in the information doctors need to know and manage. Yet today\'s GP has never been more time-poor or under so much pressure. All these outside considerations can seem challenging and remote for the doctor sat with their patient yet in today\'s reality they have never been more important. This book offers insight into the practical impact and importance of these external factors. It offers advice on everything from law, technology and time management to mental health issues, ethics, religion and culture, exploring how to determine which issues are relevant to each individual consultation.Packing each chapter with realistic examples, author Jane Wilcock draws on her own extensive experience to help GPs make considered, contextual decisions that enhance the health and well-being of their patients. This book is essential reading for any General Practitioner, allied health care practitioner or trainee preparing to practice in our complex modern world.
