This book takes the conversation between bioethics and health policy to a new level. Moving beyond principles and normative frameworks, bioethicists writing in the volume consider the actual policy problems faced by health care systems, while policy-makers reflect on the moral values inherentin both the process and content of health policy. The result is a vigorous dialogue with some of the nation\'s leading experts at the interface of ethics and health policy. the book provides a history of the values implicit in U.S. health policy, a discussion of the federal and state roles in policymaking, an ethical examination of the social goals expressed through various policies, an analysis of the role of public opinion in the creation of health policy, and an exploration of the value of the private sector in health policy. In addition, the authors examine some of the major ethicalcontroversies in health policy, such as the challenge of balancing ethical concerns with economic realities, the need to allocate scarce health resources, the call for heightened accountability, and the impact of various policies on vulnerable populations. The book concludes with an examination ofthe ethical issues in health services research, including the threats to privacy that arise in such research. To a greater extent than any previous volume, it establishes a strong connection between the disciplines of medical ethics and health policy. Physical, mental, or social change in the life of an elderly person may result in a loss of self-sufficiency. Deciding how to compensate for the change -- a process that often involves family members, friends, or health professionals -- frequently leads to consideration of long-term care. Most of the existing literature on ethics and decision making, however, focuses on acute care and does not necessarily apply to issues involved in choosing long-term care.This book offers the first conceptual and ethical framework for thinking about long-term care decision making in gerontologic and geriatric practice. It is also the first to examine these issues at the level of decision-making by elders, family members, and professionals and to consider the broad range of options -- from receiving care at home to entering a nursing home. The discussion ranges from the philosophical, historical, and societal to the sometimes painfully specific and personal. Topics include the current system of long-term care in the United States and how it evolved value considerations facing professionals involved with home care and care plans the basic concepts of autonomy and independence the affect on long-term-care of changing intrafamilial relationships and responsibilities and a preventive ethics approach to long-term care decision making. The chapters make effective use of case histories and offer a strong sense of how individual human lives are affected by these issues.This collection of essays is a forum for clinicians, ethicists, and policy specialists to address the social and ethical implications of both the basic and the high-technology aspects of caring for very ill or very dependent patients in their homes... It should also be brought to the attention of the health policy analysts and politicians who believe cheaper care at home will solve our health care crisis. -- The New England Journal of Medicine This is the second edition of a highly successful and well-received textbook on the responsible conduct of biomedical and health science research.
