This course considers the development of doctrine in health care ethics in the sense of investigating its truth claims or belief statements. The purpose is to clarify the significance of hermeneutics, or theories of interpretation, in the development of the field. The course will be especially attentive to the prospective integration of ethics, science, medicine, law and policy, in order to consider feasible changes as health care ethics increasingly engages history and culture in an interdisciplinary manner.

The course examines the role of organizational ethics in health care. Business ethics and corporate ethics (with accompanying topics of risk management, compliance, and quality improvement) are included within the description of organizational ethics. The analysis focuses on the integration of clinical, professional, and organizational ethics in health care to foster culturally competent patient-centered care. The study considers relevant standards in the field, such as the Joint Commission’s accreditation standards for hospitals. The concerns that are discussed vary from theoretical issues, relevant principles, and practical topics.

This course explores in-depth the intriguing, developing issues in health law and policy, focusing special attention on the issues that impact the human body and that challenge individual decision making. An underlying theme of the course examines the basic areas of law (property, tort, and contract law) as frameworks for analyzing these evolving issues. Specific topics for exploration include: property law and the human body, sterilization and reproductive controls, mental health and disability, pledges of confidentiality and competing interests, adolescent health care, relationship of contract and tort law to professional responsibility, health policy for resource allocation, aging and elder law, perspectives and regulations for the care of the dying, protections for the human body pre- and post-mortem, and research ethics and regulation of non-therapeutic research using human subjects. The course aims to provide students with a foundation for understanding how and why law is integral to biomedical ethics and health policy, the advisability and appropriateness of legislation (federal and state), precise issues requiring policy development and multi-disciplinary discourse to inform policy development, and issues at the cusp of development.
