Ethical Issues in Health Care Information Technology from the perspective of Knowledge Management in theory and practice.

Over the last twenty years, health care services have been transformed by increasing use of information and knowledge. Experts agree that information technology (IT) has made this transformation possible. In the last decade especially, ethical issues related to health care IT have generated a wealth of studies as well as lively and serious discussions identifying ethical challenges and proposing practical solutions and guidelines for health care professionals. Related issues have been in the news since the Obama administration proposed converting all paper medical records to an electronic system.

The purpose of this research paper is to:

* increase understanding of Knowledge Management ethics

* identify, examine and analyze concepts, principles and practices related to KM ethics and health care information technology

* propose appropriate ways to responsibly address ethical dilemmas and promote ethical standards and practices in the use of health care information technology

Write a research paper following the instructions below:
* Identify, examine and analyze three ethical issues you consider most important in the way IT is used by today's health care professionals and may be used in the future with the expansion of an electronic system.

* Defend the importance of your three choices with evidence of solid research and critical thinking, citing data, information and examples to support your claims.

* Cite at least three research sources for each ethical issue identified (minimum of nine sources total). As usual, successful papers will rely heavily on academic and other authoritative sources found. Do not use wikipedia, opinions from newpapers.

* Use headings for each major section of your paper: for example, Introduction, Ethical Issue 1, Ethical Issue 2, Ethical Issue 3, Conclusion, Bibliography or Reference List.

Ethical Issues With an Aging Population
According to the CDC, ?in the United States, the proportion of the population aged >65 years is projected to increase from 12.4% in 2000 to 19.6% in 2030,? (CDC, 2003, para. 2). Caring for this aging population is going to be one of the greatest challenges facing the health care industry. Not only will the number of individuals requiring care rise, but so will the cost. As poignantly stated by Crippen and Barnato, ?unless we change the practice of medicine and reduce future costs, and explicitly address the ethical dilemmas we face, there may come a time when our kids simply cannot afford us? (2011, p. 128).

In this Discussion, you will examine the ethical issues that the United States and other nations must address when faced with the health care challenges of an aging population.

To prepare:


?Consider the ethical aspects of health care and health policy for an aging population.
?Review the Hayutin, Dietz, and Mitchell report presented in the Learning Resources. The authors pose the question, ?What are the economic consequences, now and for future generations of taxpayers if we fail to adapt our policies to the changing reality of an older population?? (p. 21). Consider how you would respond to this question. In addition, reflect on the ethical decisions that arise when dispersing limited funds.
?Contemplate the impact of failing to adjust policy in accordance with the changing reality of an older population.
?Reflect on the ethical dilemmas that arise when determining expenditures on end-of-life health care.
Post by Day 3 an explanation of the ethical standards you believe should be used in determining how resources should be allocated for an aging population and end-of-life care. Then, provide an analysis of the ethical challenges related to the preparation for the provision of such health care.

National Challenges- DOMESTIC ABUSE
Counselor Education and Supervision Students
Counselors bring a unique perspective to mental health care. This perspective includes the notion that prevention is important, as is advocating outside of the counseling session to address societal challenges and issues so as to contribute to the mental health of society. It supports the view that aiming for optimal mental wellness is better than stopping at simply remediating mental illness or at providing supports and medication for those suffering with mental illness or other interpersonal deficits. Yet prevention, which has gained a foothold in health care (e.g., well baby checks, vaccines, prenatal care) has not been recognized in mental health care. As stated early in the course when proposing the vision that undergirds it, the course incorporates a broad view of mental health to include physical health and care.
Counselors may feel most comfortable advocating for change when they are excluded from state and national policies, including but not limited to those having to do with parity, insurance reimbursement, licensing, and the like. However, counselor educators and the students and supervisees they are developing should consider how their unique training prepares them to positively impact the mental health of people more broadly.
In addition, they should think about how their inclusion in federal education and health policies, on health insurance leadership or advisory boards, and in other positions of power might bring counseling perspectives on prevention, wellness, and other mental health issues into greater awareness and in doing so, serve the parallel purposes of creating a society committed to the mental health of its members and a counseling profession that supports that commitment.
Other Human Services Professionals
Prevention, intervention, and collaboration are also important to other human services professionals. Understanding people in their environment is essential to designing and implementing prevention activities in communities, as well as understanding how to engage community stakeholders in prevention efforts.

Human services professionals, researchers, administrators, and policy-makers should be prepared to inform, design, and implement preventions that positively impact the human welfare of people and communities.
To prepare for this assignment:
Select a challenge or issue that exists at the national level related to counseling or your specific area of the human services professions.
Browse the Library and locate and review two journal articles that relate to the challenge or issue you selected.
With your challenge or issue in mind, think about how you might use change, leadership, and/or advocacy theories and processes to resolve or improve the challenge or issue.
Review the code of ethics appropriate for your profession or specialization (ACA, NASW, or ACJS). Make a note of ethical issues, based on your review of the ethical mandates, that might come into play if you worked to resolve the challenge/issue or improve the area you selected.
The assignment (2??"3 pages):
Describe the challenge or issue you selected and explain why resolving or improving it might make a difference to society and/or to your profession.
Explain how you might apply the change, leadership, and/or advocacy theories and processes to resolve/improve the challenge/issue.
Describe the ethical challenges (using the most relevant code of ethics) that might come into play in working to bring about the resolution or improvement you selected. Be specific.

Paper B1-Privacy-Related Matrix
This assignment gives you an opportunity to analyze a key IT-related organizational ethical issue subject to relevant laws, regulations, and policies. Chapter 4 of your textbook provides an excellent backdrop for issues relating to privacy protection and the law. This includes sub-topics discussing information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law), and key privacy and anonymity issues.

Using the template below and the list of suggested topics from Chapter 4, Reynolds text, pp. 132 ? 144, produce a matrix mapping a key organizational ethical issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations and policies. For example, as our global community expands and as we grow more dependent on non-US clients for e-business over the Internet, we must be aware of policies and governmental/law enforcement actions concerning access to personal data in one or more countries (e.g. the European Union).

Prepare the matrix and submit it to your Assignment Folder on the due date indicated in your Course Syllabus?Course Schedule. This matrix will assist you in outlining key attributes of the law, regulation, and policy(ies), and will be essential for the second-half of this assignment to develop a policy to address the organization?s ethical issue, B2. Indicate appropriate APA reference citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your assignment should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
To use the matrix you must choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics:
Autonomy: the duty to maximize the individual's right to make his or her own decisions.
Beneficence: the duty to do good both individually and for all.
Confidentiality: the duty to respect privacy of information and action.
Equality: the duty to view all people as moral equals.
Finality: the duty to take action that may override the demands of law, religion, and social customs.
Justice: the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and benefits equally.

Non-maleficence: the duty to cause no harm, both individually and for all.

Understanding/Tolerance: the duty to understand and to accept other view points if reason dictates doing so is warranted.
Publicity: the duty to take actions based on ethical standards that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
Respect for persons: the duty to honor others, their rights, and their responsibilities. Showing respect others implies that we do not treat them as a mere means to our end.
Universality: the duty to take actions that hold for everyone, regardless of time, place, or people involved. This concept is similar to the Categorical Imperative.
Veracity: the duty to tell the truth.
________________________________________
Using the chosen dilemma and the three principles of normative ethics you selected from the above list, complete the ethical matrix.

Use the Table Tool in MS Word (or copy and paste this format) to develop the following ethical matrix:
Ethical dilemma:
Stakeholders
1
2
3
4
Step 1: Identify the ethical dilemma based on one of the broad categories identified. An example (following here) might be to falsify your personal profile in a social networking site.
Step 2: Identify the stakeholders involved. You, someone who reads your personal profile in a social network site, potential employers, etc.
Step 3: Choose any three of the principles that might apply such as autonomy, publicity, and veracity.
Step 4: identify how the dilemma affect each stakeholder based on the principles you identified. Put this statement in the matrix next to the stakeholder.
For example:
Ethical dilemma: falsifying your profile on a social networking site
Stakeholders autonomy Publicity veracity
1: You You have the duty to maximize the right to make your own decisions.
You have the duty to take actions based on ethical standards that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
You have the duty to tell the truth
2:Other users of the networking site They have the duty to make their own decisions They make these decisions based on ethical standards that should be recognized by the person falsifying their profile They assume that the person falsifying the profile has the duty to tell the truth.
3: The social networking site The autonomy of the site is limited by law (Goldman, 2007) Users of social networking sites are content publishers, as such the site must take actions based on legal and ethical standards and must notify users of these standards so they are known by all. As providers of content the site must conform to the laws regarding truth or be held responsible for legal issues as defamation (making harmful false statements about someone else) or copyright infringement. (Goldman, 2007)

The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions based on the effect on the stakeholders. Submit the matrix for grading in your Assignments Folder. Include the following explanation below the matrix:
1) why I chose the dilemma;
2) why I chose the three principles; and
3) an analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix.
This assignment is directly related to Paper-B2 below. Make sure you read the B2 assignment so that you understand the relationship prior to starting B1.
Paper B2- Organizational Policy to address an IT-related ethical issue that you wrote about in your matrix for the B1 assignment (Individual) (12%)

Write an organizational policy to address the IT-related ethical issue that you described in Matrix B1, where you mapped key organizational issues and identified how these ethical issues were affected by laws, regulations and policies. For this assignment, you will write an organizational policy that specifically addresses that ethical workforce issue. Please incorporate the instructor?s feedback from the review and grade and then use the Matrix B1 you produced as a supporting document.

There are many IT ethical challenges in the 21st century. As a result, there are constant clashes between organizational and personal policy issues in the workforce. For example, Chapter 8 of your Reynolds? textbook looks at trade-offs between the standard of living and worker productivity. This is only one example of a potential ethical conflict when differences arise between our organizational and personal beliefs. The following elements must be addressed:

? Look at other policies to see how they are written
? Use the current ethical IT-related workforce issue you developed in the B ? 1 Matrix; research its related organizational policy. Describe how your policy?the one you are writing for this assignment (What?s in it for me? How/why?)?will help the organization and describe its positive or negative consequences
? Document any conflicts that may arise between organizational and personal ethical beliefs that this policy?the one you are writing for this assignment?may impose on you
? Does your organizational policy imply a commitment to ethical professional conduct of its members (e.g. code of conduct)?
? What happens when your policy is not followed?
Prepare a 3-5 page, double-spaced paper describing your thought process as you developed the matrix, and submit it to your Assignments Folder as an attached Microsoft Word file. This assignment requires a minimum of three external clickable references in addition to your textbook. Indicate appropriate APA reference citations for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.

I will upload instructions for better clarity. B2 writing will follow later this week.

Develop a process by which businesses can justify their business decisions based on ethical criteria. Create a list of questions that would guide organizations toward ethical decisions. Next, design a flow chart that a business could follow to determine if decisions they are making might create ethical challenges for them.

Your flow chart can be in a Word document using graphics, images, charts, and/or narrative; a PowerPoint presentation; an html document; Your presentation may be as simple as a bulleted list or as dynamic as a flash-created simulation. The critical component of this assignment is that each of the following elements in the scoring guide criteria are included. (I would prefer a bulleted list if possible)

Criteria
1. Questions are specific to ethical decision making processes and a logical decision making process is presented.
2. The process includes all appropriate components and the process is applicable to the situation provided.
3. The flowchart is organized sequentially and logically, is grammatically correct, free of errors, and accurately reflects any length requirements.

Week 8 Assignment
Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
Over the next 3 weeks, you will develop a 9- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice.

Addressing Societal Problems

Over the past weeks, you have been considering issues and concerns that arouse passion in you and are likely to motivate you to take action. You explored the concepts of social change, advocacy, and leadership and thought about how they might contribute to addressing and even resolving such issues and concerns. As you move forward in your career as a counselor educator or human services professional, you likely will want or be called upon to work on societal problems in some fashion. Obviously, going to the literature to see what actions others have taken, results they have accomplished, and recommendations they have made is a good place to begin your own work. And considering potential ethical issues and concerns and consulting ethical codes is another smart action to take early on. What you find from the experts and from the codes will be useful in informing and shaping the actions you take next.
