A hacker breaches the medical records of over 250,000 patients at a hospital clinic. In a psychiatric unit, staff persist in using feminine pronouns for a transgender boy, despite repeated warnings, which exacerbates his depression and ultimately leads to his suicide. A physician, driven by ethical concerns and the fear of legal repercussions, declines to provide lethal medication to a terminally ill cancer patient seeking to end her suffering. These instances aren’t just dramatic; they also pose significant legal dilemmas that healthcare leaders must navigate.
The Law of Healthcare Administration 9E aids readers in examining these issues through the lens of current legal principles and notable judicial outcomes. Author J. Stuart Showalter explores critical topics that have emerged from 200 years of U.S. policy, court rulings, and regulations. He offers insights from a management standpoint, prioritizing a practical grasp of legal ideas, presented in a manner that remains accessible to those without a legal background. The ninth edition preserves the engaging elements of its predecessors, including captivating sidebars, unexpected court findings, and thought-provoking discussion questions. The Law of Healthcare Administration equips aspiring leaders to tackle the various legal challenges their organizations are likely to encounter.
