    This article that I read over a few times focuses in on the what patents are and more specifically how they impact e-business as well as intellectual property. Understanding the concept of patents before deciding to open a business for example, is essential if you want to succeed. Patents unfortunately are only going to protect your business in the country in which you are located. Although if you have a business spread over multiple countries, you are giving yourself a larger scale of protection to your intellectual property. Therefore, e-business owners and corporate business workers have to decide where they would like to conduct business.…

    Professional Regulations and Criminal Lability

    * Health care is a vast ever-changing demand in the United States. Because of that high demand, quality has been a concern for many patients. Each day patients put their health and trust in the hands of health care providers. Unfortunately, there have been times when the treatment provided, whether accidental or intentional, has caused harm to the patient. Patients who have experienced injury have the right to file a civil complaint against that provider that caused the injury. Some possible reasons for civil complaints are that personal information for a patient was shared without proper consent, negligence, or assault. These injuries are covered under Tort Law. This essay will identify a civil complaint process that patients may follow in the event of misconduct or incompetence by a provider. The role of the regulatory agencies to investigate the allegations of the misconduct will be discussed along with how they apply disciplinary actions if warranted. Potential criminal liabilities, risk management strategies, quality assurance programs to reduce the risk of liability and the process to follow in the event that charges are filed against a provider will all be identified.…

    Managing Laws and Ethics

    Laws and ethics are a touchy subject, even the brightest minds in the world have a tough time coming up with the “right” answer. When applying social responsibility with ethics, we must look at it from multiple sides; let’s use an example, Robert was interested in learning about the workings of professional burglars. Several years ago, he made contact with someone who could put him in touch with a professional burglar, although the burglar had retired several years ago. He contacted this person, who forwarded his interest on to the "retired" professional burglar. The burglar agreed to participate in a series of interviews. The first two interviews went fine, but on the third occasion, his subject indicated that he was planning a burglary in a new development. This was to be a one-time event (rather than a return from retirement) involving burglarizing the home of a wealthy resident in this development. Robert promised his subject anonymity and confidentiality at the outset of his research, but he now had information indicating that a crime was about to be committed. In analyzing laws and ethics in this case, if Robert was being ethical for the integrity of the burglar and did not inform the police of his deeds, he was being unethical in the social responsibility aspect of ethics! When respecting people’s rights, dignity, and diversity, people are going to be affected negatively either way in certain situations. What we need to ask ourselves is, do we act unethically to the side that is committing a crime, or unethically to those who are not?…

    Professional Regulations and Criminal Liabilities

    Consumer concerns have increased over the past few years because of the dramatic changes in health care information and its’ delivery (Benfield, Ashkanazi, Rozensky 2006). Each day patients put their physical health and trust in the hands of health care providers. Unfortunately, there have been times when the treatment provided, whether accidental or intentional, has caused harm to the patient. Patients who have experienced injury have the right to lodge a complaint against that provider. Included in the possible reasons for civil complaints is the sharing of personal information, negligence, or assault. These injuries are considered civil wrongs and are covered under Tort Law. In recent years, with the advances in technology, patient privacy has become imperative. In order to protect patient privacy the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was enacted, and is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, regulated by the Office of Civil Rights. Health care providers must take care to protect the privacy of their patients at all times. HIPAA regulations provide a guideline to help protect not only the patient, but also employees, from divulgence of their personal information to non-involved third parties.…
