Answer 1

The healthcare today throws light topics such as "Age in Place or assisted living",Research topics on "commonlyused drugs causing depression" And some of the issues includes ..'Health reforms being more complicated','Healthcare endangered middlemen','tackle opioid crisis','disaster peparedness'.'Error reporting and disclosure'.

An article by Zane Robinson Wolf; Ronda G. Hughes on Error reporting and disclosure which highlight a discussion  on the reporting errors that results in patient harm as well as seemingly trivial errors which has the potential to strengthen processes of care and improve the quality of care afforded patients.

Medical errors released by the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) report To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System centered on the suggestion that preventable adverse events in hospital were a leading cause of death in the United States. This report supports findings from the Harvard Medical Practice Study which found that more than 70 percent of errors resulting in adverse events were considered to be secondary to negligence, and more than 90 percent were judged to be preventable.

Physicians, nurses, and other health care providers have legal and ethical obligation to report risks, benefits, and alternative treatments through informed consent mandates. Legal self-interest and vulnerability after errors which are committed must be tempered by the principle of fidelity (truthfulness and loyalty). This ethical principle has been reinforced by practical lessons learned from errors for instances when an adverse event causes serious harm or even death, there is an ethical and moral obligation to disclose information. Candid reports and disclosure of errors by physicians as well as other health care providers (or institutional leadership if the physician refuses to disclose) might result in greater patient trust and less litigation. Furthermore, it is important and essential to act after errors are reported, with action plan aimed at protecting the welfare of patients by targeting iatrogenic problems and documenting the care given.

The article also discussed suggestions on prevention of such errors by forming a policie which includes an apologies to patients and families, have been justified; respect for patients and their autonomy prevails as a source and support of patients’ right to information about health care errors.

There has been an instances where incidence can effect the overall quality care resulting in an impact for which the organisation is to compensate or ever greater issues where the healthcare license can be suspended depending upon the incident and its failure to bring about quality care.Incidences like carrying a research on embryo or carrying out researches which involves potential threat to the life of the clients.

Certain situtions can have a discord when it comes to federal and state law which can be best elaborate dthrough examples from the past incidences; Considering the case of Gerald Duval Jr. Duval in which he claims to be on the frontlines of the war over medical marijuana. Michigan, Duval’s home, allows the farming and use of medical marijuana. Duval Jr. thought his Michigan pot farm was protected under state law but again he will be serving a 10-year prison sentence for breaking the U.S. government’s marijuana regulations.

Another instances anout the same sex marriage where the Supreme Court announced that it would be hearing two cases involving same sex marriage, both of which have implications for states’ rights to recognize same sex marriage. The decisions almost certainly effect what role states can play in recognizing same sex marriage. Even the previous President Obama has said that states and states alone should decide whether same sex marriage is legal within their borders. Like wise there are situations which creates a discord between the two legislation.
