[SOLVED] Professional Ethics and Legal Requirements

M8D1: When Professional Ethics Clashes with Legal Requirements or Policy No unread replies. No replies. As always, our capstone discussion will simulate a face-to-face classroom discussion. We will go through the questions as a group beginning with the first question. As we answer each of the questions, we will move to the next one together. Read what others have said and add to the discussion in a substantive manner. The earlier in the week that you begin posting, the deeper the conversation and learning will be. The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately. In your opinion, based on what you have learned throughout your studies: How might ethics conflict with policy or legal requirements in providing health services? What’s at stake in these sorts of conflicts? As you discuss, think about such conflicts in professional situations you have encountered or discussed in previous courses. For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate what you learned from reading as well as additional supportive articles or videos that you choose to include. The remaining knowledge application questions will be based on the Scenario. Please review the scenario before continuing on with the discussion. Please respond to the following discussion questions: What are the most concerning legal and policy concerns in this scenario? What policy guidelines would be helpful to us in exploring and addressing these issues? In module 7, we discussed ethics in great depth. Now, let’s talk about conflicts between ethics and the legal and policy concerns we are charged to address. In this scenario, does conflict exist or is the organization exempted from any responsibility toward the participants as the service/program was part of a research project? As we identify potential conflicts, elaborate on concerns in applying ethical guidelines to this situation. Contemplate how this situation might be viewed in your emphasis. In module 7, we explored resources that might support us in the ethical decision-making process. Given the legal and policy issues involved in this situation, which of the resources from last week would be useful here? Are there additional resources you would want to make use of? Why?
