Description
Law and Health Care Quality, Patient Safety, and Liability 10th Edition Brietta R. Clark
ISBN: 9798317709716
This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding modern approaches to health care quality, including evolving definitions of quality, patient safety, and the use of data-driven methods to monitor and improve performance. It begins with an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts shaping health care cost, quality, access, and equity.
The text then examines state and federal quality-control regulations, including professional licensing and discipline, as well as Medicare and Medicaid certification requirements for health care organizations. Materials addressing the professional-patient relationship, including informed consent, non-abandonment, and confidentiality, are carefully edited and consolidated with medical malpractice into a single chapter, followed by an examination of health care organization liability.
Additional coverage explores the role of nondiscrimination obligations in ensuring health care quality and the impact of ERISA preemption on liability for quality failures. The book also examines quality improvement initiatives within health care organizations and their relationships with health care professionals through staff privileges, contracting, and employment.
Combining regulatory, professional, and organizational perspectives, this book offers students a broad understanding of the legal and practical issues involved in maintaining and improving the quality of health care.

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
