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.
