Ethical Issues in Human Research: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

Posted on | by Kelvin

Animal research is a necessary practice in the world of medical research, allowing scientists to develop life-saving interventions and to spot catastrophic problems before new techniques or products make their way to actual patients. However, this does not mean that we should deny that there are serious ethical issues involved.
Animal testing is not a pretty or pleasant process. It causes pain and suffering to animal subjects, and legitimate cases of abuse have been uncovered by animal rights groups. Consequently, the practice should be tightly regulated, and alternative methods should be employed whenever possible.
However, human research also is full of ethical issues. Let’s explore those.

Read Chapter 9 of Shift Ahead: How the Best Companies Stay Relevant in a Fast-Changing World.
Review the DargeanGrix Business Scenario document https://uagc.instructure.com/courses/135921/files/22071519/download?wrap=1.
Read the article: The Hidden Value in Your Intangible Assets https://sfmagazine.com/post-entry/january-2016-the-hidden-value-in-your-intangible-assets/.
Review the following: 5 Powerful Ways to Confront Change in the Workplace https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryalton/2017/07/26/5-powerful-ways-to-confront-change-in-the-workplace/#58cf2b3c290d, ‘Niceness’ Can Hurt an Organization https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-news/Pages/Niceness-Can-Hurt-an-Organization.aspx, 8 Ways to Manage Change in the Workplace Effectively https://www.lindenbergergroup.com/8-ways-manage-change-workplace-effectively/., Intangible Benefits Can Play Key Role in Business Case https://www.cio.com/article/2442083/intangible-benefits-can-play-key-role-in-business-case.html , What Are the Tangible and Intangible Benefits of ERP System?Links to an external site., and What Are Intangible Benefits? https://bizfluent.com/info-8595681-intangible-benefits.html
In this assignment, you will construct a justification for the purchase or outsourcing of the technology you would recommend as the solution to the video communication problem described in your Week 3 What It Takes to Be a Champion of Change Video Presentation discussion. Conduct an internet search using the key-word phrase “video conferencing solutions” to identify a solution that might fit the company’s needs.

NOTE: The chosen technology is only a framework and isn’t as important as your justifications using the intangibles you identified in your Week 2 What are Intangibles Worth? discussion, Current Intangible Business Costs assignment, and from reviewing the An Intangible Example document recommended resource.

Using the elements you identified in the DaregeanGrix scenario in Week 2 for justification,

Build a table with approximate costs associated with each of the elements in the company’s current environment.
Some of these should be actual (tangible) costs and some should be implied (intangible) costs (e.g., customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, efficiency, etc.).
Weigh the tangible costs and the intangible improvements that the new technology will bring to the organization using a narrative format and contextual reasoning.
Create a justification for the solution using the intangible elements the solution will provide.
Explain how these elements have a significant impact on the organization, employees, and customers.
Remember that your goal is to be able to justify a possible investment using intangible benefits in a new technology in which there is little in the way of traditional return on investment (ROI) to lean on.

Case Study Analysis: Joey Slater’s Discharge and Readmission

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

CASE INTRODUCTION – Charlotte Greene, a registered nurse, is discharging a pediatric patient, Joey Slater, to home care under the supervision of his mother. The child returns to the hospital five weeks later with some concerning issues
Brief Summary of Case
SCENE 1: Joey Slater, an 8-year-old child who received blood transfusion for femur, is now ready for discharge. Stacey, a licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse (LPN/LVN), offers to take care of discharge teaching about cast care, while Charlotte, an RN, calls home health care to arrange a home visit.
SCENE 2: Five weeks later, Joey is readmitted to the pediatric floor. On assessment by the RN, maggots were coming out of the cast, and perineal skin breakdown was noted. As Charlotte and the mother discuss the situation, it’s clear that there was a lack of education. The mother also states that home health nurses never contacted her. Later, Charlotte calls the agency and discovers that they tried repeatedly to contact the family without success.
SCENE 3: Charlotte tells Joey that the doctor says he can go home, but he seems worried and scared. Later, Charlotte calls social services to involve them in the patient’s care. Charlotte advocates for the patient by delaying his discharge and reporting subjective and objective findings to social services.
