Medical Law & Professional Ethics, 2nd Edition

Medical Law & Professional Ethics focuses on the relationships among healthcare, law, and ethics and the application of legal and ethical principles to the healthcare field. This introductory text, targeted for beginning healthcare students, covers topics such as patient and healthcare-provider rights and related laws, legal issues related to health information technology, and legal issues regarding healthcare across the lifespan. In addition, the text explores situations and dilemmas that may arise when professional roles and personal ethics collide.

• Logically organized chapter content and straightforward writing promote and reinforce student understanding.
• What Would You Do? and Ethical Dilemma feature scenarios engage student interest by addressing situations and dilemmas they will commonly encounter in the field.
• Rather than focusing on how to avoid litigation, the text emphasizes and encourages the concepts of law and ethics to improve healthcare systems and the delivery of care.
