Homecare Ethics: Resolving Ethical Issues in Patient Care (DVD)
The ability to recognize ethical issues as they occur is an important skill that every homecare worker must develop. That is because ethical issues arise every day. A caregiver can be pulled in many directions by the desire to provide care, the patient’s rights, the family members, agency policy and even government regulations. Often there is no single "right" answer to ethics questions. Sometimes a course of action can seem right in some ways and wrong in others. In other situations, there may be several different ways to go. Because they are in the front line and must provide care, your staff needs guidance.Help homecare staff resolve ethics dilemmas by giving them a framework they can use to analyze questions of ethics and find appropriate solutions -- required under accreditation standards.
The accompanying Study Guide supplements the video with discussion questions, role-playing scenarios and a glossary of essential terms. The guide also includes a test and a participant’s certificate, everything you need for a complete in-service program.This complete program provides comprehensive, effective in-service training for your entire staff.
