Health Care Quality Improvement: Ethical and Regulatory Issues
Edited by Bruce Jennings, Mary Ann Baily, Melissa Bottrell, and Joanne Lynn
This new edited volume is a collection of original papers providing in-depth discussion of important ethical and regulatory aspects of quality improvement.
How does QI differ from research? What duty do physicians, nurses, and health administrators have to initiate and participate in sound QI activities? What is the responsibility of patients to cooperate with them? What practical strategies for QI management and oversight could clinicians and managers use to ensure that QI does not harm patients, that improvement activities respect privacy, and that all involved stay accountable for their actions?
This edited volume will stand for some time as the definitive primary source for scholarly commentary on how to manage QI ethically, and how to manage the troublesome interface with research ethics. The contributors are a remarkable group of respected and insightful authors from diverse backgrounds.
