. Fox, R. C. (2016). Advanced Medical Technology--Social and Ethical Implications.Annual Review of Sociology,2, 231268. http://www.jstor.org/stable/2946093
Research conducted by found that although technology provides increased benefits in the form of productivity enhancements and quality improvements, it does however provide ethical challenges. Here, Fox notes the cyber security investments needed to maintain the security of the technology. In many instances, the improvements in efficiency are offset by the increased need for continually reinvestment in security and other enhancements to the system. This presents ethical challenges for certain practices who are reluctant to renew or to adopt the latest cyber security practices, those exposing client data to criminals.
2. Gottlieb, S. (2003). The Future of Medical Technology.The New Atlantis,1, 7987. http://www.jstor.org/stable/43152854
In his research Gottlieb provides evidence as to the future of technology within the developed world. Here, Gottliebs research indicates increased adoptions rates for Telemedicine and Telehealth applications within the developed world. In addition, as consumers are now becoming much more accepting of technology, the overall adoption rates of these technologies have increased. The benefits provided to healthcare organizations are heavily related to efficiencies. Here, healthcare organizations leveraging these technologies will have fewer appointment delays, lower cancelations and improved operation efficiency. These...…he found that ethical considerations related to use of data, security and overall training were lacking in the medical field. Through his assessment, he found that data was often not secure electronically. Software programs were antiquated and training was not sufficient. These issues are exacerbated during highly stressful work environments, such as those that occurred during COVID-19. Here, data security was often not considered due to the urgency of other matters during the pandemic. As such, large amounts of fraud occurred, related to insurance claims, medical loan applications, and even government assistance. Here, personal data was often stolen and used as a means to…
4. Hofmann, B. M. (2015). Too much technology. BMJ: British Medical Journal, 350. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26518356
Hoffmann through his studies found that technology, although beneficial, can incur diminishing returns as it relates to these benefits. Through his research, Hofmann found that medical organizations use about 30 different technology solutions throughout their business practices. These solutions vary from human resource management provided by organizations such as ADP, to missions critical systems accounting systems such as Quick Books. These technology solutions are often siloed creating inefficiencies as it relates to data collection and integration. These solutions can also create security risk as these platforms each have their own security competencies. As a result, a breach in any one of these systems can expose the entire healthcare organizations data. Here, Hoffman makes an argument that healthcare providers should simplify their solutions to better assess and monitor the risks.
5. McNamee, M. J., & Edwards, S. D. (2006). Transhumanism, Medical Technology and Slippery Slopes. Journal of Medical Ethics, 32(9), 513–518. http://www.jstor.org/stable/27719694
In this journal article, McNamee looks to identify how medical technology can lead to negative elements within the healthcare profession. Here the research looks to provide evidence that technology can often expose critical health information to others, thus undermining the overall benefit of technology. Likewise, the heavy reliance on technology often removes many of the more critical decision making necessary to properly treat other human beings properly.
Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
The amendments have had practical impacts such as repealing the tax mandate of the employer, health insurance tax of small businesses and decreasing the burdens on individuals and businesses. The compliance cost for small business owners has risen by 36% higher than that of larger corporations. Similarly, the average U.S. citizen has already been overtaxed. Since the passing of the Affordable Care Act, Americans have not enjoyed the benefits that
With that in mind, even more changes will be coming to the planet in the near future. Even within the next 10 years, those changes are going to become more obvious and the health of people who are ingesting these chemicals and modified foods will likely begin to decline. When that gets coupled with the obesity epidemic, there will be a generation that will not live as long as
Health Care Professionals Healthcare professionals The paper is based on the healthcare professionals. It starts by analyzing the reasons why there may be physician shortage rather than a surplus in the United States. The paper as well analyses the factors that contribute to the nursing shortage in the U.S. And the roles of health professionals within the health care system. Lastly it covers the roles of a health service administrator within health
