Healthcare Law and Ethics: Principles & Practices
With the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating to healthcare disputes, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) are now facing more challenges and dilemmas in their daily practices. This book is unique in that most chapters are written jointly by two authors: one with legal training and one with a healthcare background. The balanced view offered thus allows readers to gain a thorough understanding of the concepts presented. Although most of the examples and scenarios are specific to medical doctors, the basic principles and ethical considerations as well as the enforcement of laws and regulations are, with some modifications, equally applicable to other HCPs, such as dentists, nurses, midwives, etc. Readers interested in healthcare law and ethics from numerous fields and stages of training, including legal and healthcare practitioners, trainees, postgraduate researchers and undergraduate students, will find this book both informative and practical as an aid to their work and studies.
