In healthcare, the ethical principle of justice refers to the equal and fair distribution of resources. An example would be a community hospital that implements a project to provide flu-shots to elderly members of the community at no cost. There are only 60 openings per month for this service, and the program will only run from November to March. Justice requires a fair method that is free of bias to determine which elderly adults would receive the flu shot.
The first question is based on your own experience so that you can begin the discussion immediately without having completed all of your readings. Can you provide an example of a situation when there was injustice in healthcare?
The following questions will be based upon the following:
Ryan White was an American teenager, who had hemophilia and contracted HIV/AIDS from a needed blood transfusion. Because of his HIV/AIDS diagnosis, he was expelled from middle school. Together with his Mother, he fought AIDS-related discrimination and his right to attend school. His determination gained national attention and the importance of public education about the disease.
By using the ethical principle of justice, discuss how a healthcare professional is legally and ethically bound to provide care for a patient who has been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

2010 Health Care Reform Bill Impact

/in /by

2010 Health Care Reform Bill Impact Review- Serious Inquiries1) Scenario: Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill, the United States will be challenged to bring into its health care population some 32 million more patients. Formerly, many of these patients were uninsured. Some of these patients were seen and treated in safety-net hospitals, but mostly in emergency rooms. Reliable, independent studies have shown that this population is low income and is disproportionately made up of ethnic and racial minorities; however, it is important to point out that due to the economic downturn at the turn of the decade surrounding 2010, this 32 million will include a significant number of non-minority unemployed individuals. Consider that health care institutions must move beyond simply taking in and treating the sick and injured who come through the door. In the near future, the health of the community will be measured in terms of low disease burden, high vaccination rates, controlled chronic disease rates, healthier life styles, and a better educated public. Clearly, the impacts to the health care system will have to be addressed.2) Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) that describes the roles and responsibilities of health care management in addressing this pressing dilemma. Apply the following questions to generate your conclusions about how you would proceed:a) How do the considerations under the concept of governance apply?b) What are the major financial issues being faced?c) What are the major physical issues being faced?d) What are the major demographic issues being faced?
