Ethical Decision Making & Medical Malpractice
HCM 345 – Mod 4 – Please select either one, do not do both. Read the details and Rubric.
OPTION #1: MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice laws vary from state to state. Research the medical malpractice laws in the state you live in or the state where you hope to work as a healthcare provider. Imagine that you are already working in the healthcare field. It is your responsibility to develop a training for new medical providers to complete before they are allowed to treat patients. The training will be computer generated and you are the voice over. Prepare a power point presentation that briefly covers the laws of medical malpractice in your state.
Identify and provide a thorough analysis of the key aspects of the law that medical providers need to be aware. Also include several strategies and rationales to prevent or avoid a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Your presentation should meet the following requirements:
- Be well-organized, using APA level headings to separate your topics. (For more information on APA headings, see the Purdue OWL page on APA headings and structures (Links to an external site.).)
- Consist of 5-6 slides including the title and reference page.
- Include a voice over for each power point slide. This should include a narration of the content included on each slide. Since you are using voice over, your slides do not necessarily need to contain words but instead can be filled with graphs, charts, infographics, etc. For technical support on adding voice over to your PowerPoint use this link: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/record-a-slide-show-with-narration-and-slide-timings-0b9502c6-5f6c-40ae-b1e7-e47d8741161c (Links to an external site.).
- Support your assignment with at least 2-4 scholarly, legislative, or court references (of which the textbook may be one). Use current sources, not older than 5 years. The CSU-Global Library is good place to find these references.
- Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.).
Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Module 4 folder.
Reach out to your instructor if you have any questions about the assignment.
OPTION #2: ETHICAL DECISION MAKING
Technology has had a profound effect on many of the advancements in the healthcare field. Select three ways that you feel these changes have been the most profound. In a brochure or infographic presentation, discuss the influence that each of these changes had had on a particular aspect of healthcare. Explore the impact on decision-making and ethical choices that are afforded to the patient and the healthcare provider’s or professional’s perception. Lastly, consider whether you feel that technology offers significant benefits, or produces new ethical dilemmas for healthcare. Include either a diagram, graphic or picture to demonstrate your ideas or to support the various types of technology that were identified and their influence on ethical decisions.
