Directions
Using the South University's online library resources, identify and analyze a case of your choice (no older than 8 years) that you believe presents a conflict between public health, healthcare ethics, and current legal statutes (i.e., required vaccinations, no smoking policies, food/restaurant labeling requirements, school nutrition policies, etc.).
Then, take the perspective of a healthcare executive or professional solving a public health or ethical dilemma that your organization, community, and/or the healthcare profession at large are facing.
Based on your research and analysis of the case, write an 8-10-page proposal to other healthcare executives soliciting their support for legal reform with the state legislature. Include the following items in your proposal:
- Describe how healthcare professionals and leaders can bring about changes in healthcare, legal, or ethical issues.
- Explain the current conflict between public health, healthcare ethics, and the current legal statute you have selected. Use cases and outside resources to explain your position.
- Present a new piece of legislature that will address the ethical conflict. While there are no wrong or right answers, make sure to link your new law to previous cases and/or healthcare ethical principles. Use existing laws but also be creative in writing a law.
- Identify the barriers to implementing the law, the stakeholders, and ways in which the barriers can be overcome.
