Our care sector is governed by multitudes of rules, regulations, laws, and ethical standards. Which are designed to protect patients when making decisions about their healthcare. In addition, governing bodies set out the responsibilities of healthcare professionals.

Ethical issues -

 1) Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs)

2) False claims and whistle-blower lawsuits

3) Malpractice within the care sector

4) Patient confidentiality

5) Informed consent

6) Assisted Suicide (PAS) and euthanasia

(These to pinpoint a few).

Overall, patients, families, and healthcare professionals face ethical and legal decisions daily, and other matters that arise in the healthcare industry.
