Summary:

Business ethics in healthcare are often restricted to broad, non-specific topics such as white-collar crime, insider trading, corporate social responsibility, reputation management, and social responsiveness. While these issues are certainly relevant, they are not unique to the healthcare sector. In contrast, the most pressing ethical challenges in healthcare frequently involve personal harm and misconduct, directly affecting patients, students, and professionals - who may be both victims and perpetrators. On the other side, institutions, manufacturers, and providers - including company officials, employees, and the healthcare organizations themselves - also play a critical role as problems emerge, typically responding for both their genesis and solution. Few publications have addressed such topics, notably with an up-to-date, practical and effective approach. This book has assembled a first-class international team to provide the most reliable and accessible insights available in the field. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals - as well as graduate and postgraduate students, business leaders, and government officials - will appreciate the clarity and relevance of the real-world topics discussed and analyzed throughout this work.
