Introduction
One issue that has been a constant argument between physician and patient is that of ownership of charts. ...
How does this critical dilemma between doctor and patient play out with today’s legal and regulatory impacts regarding intellectual property? ...
Legal Impact
From a legal standpoint, a patient has very little influence with the judicial system, unless there has been an obvious mistake. ... It is with the specialist that a lot of the legal issues above surface.
Regulatory Impact
Regulatory Issues are governed not only by the federal government but also by the large Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO). ... Recent studies of the federal regulatory process have found that:
• the federal process of regulatory development often lacks fairness;
• cost-benefit analysis is often manipulated to defend the regulatory decision that the government had already made;
• the regulatory impact statements are of poor quality, evidenced by lack of detail and quantification of costs and benefits;
• there is still a tendency in the federal government to regulate as opposed to finding alternative solutions. ...
Ethical Issues
Issues revolving around ethics will always be sneaking up on doctors. ... In addition, the doctor must be fully aware of the law regarding male/female examinations, this procedure once not a problem has now become the largest legal ethical issue of today.
