Designed for use by students and practicing health professionals. Patient Care Case Law: Ethics, Regulation, and Compliance, will provide the reader with the necessary knowledge to become conversant with legal issues pertinent to their profession. The text is founded on applicable statutory and decisional authority, as well as the author’s specialized knowledge gained through extensive experience in the healthcare field, including the surveys of more than 700 hospitals and several thousand ambulatory sites throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
