HCM-308 Healthcare Legal And Ethical Considerations - Thomas Edison State University

OVERVIEW
The purpose of this project is to synthesize the student's understanding of law and ethics and their relationship to each other while applying academic understanding to practice.

PROCESS
The following are the basic steps in completing this project:

1. Choose any law or area of law we have covered in this course (see list of suggestions that follows).
2. Describe the law (or area of law) and how it guides or impacts the workplace. Conduct a historical and content analysis of the law.
3. Explain the ethical basis for the law (e.g., Why is this law needed? What ethical demands does it fulfill?).
4. Evaluate how this law impacts a particular workplace: your workplace, a workplace with which you are familiar, or one you have researched.
5. Create recommendations for compliance in this workplace. (You might write as if you are giving advice to management.)
6. Make sure to consider the interrelationships and roles of the various healthcare providers and organizations and how the quality of these interrelationships affects the successful achievement of outcomes.
