Health brief
Draft a follow up brief on issues related to your policy issue for policy makers who have indicated an interest in making policy change in this area. This assignment should identify and describe ethical issues related to this policy issue. Ethical issues may include the Belmont Report identified issues of “Respect for Persons,” “Beneficence,” and “Justice” or disparities in health outcomes or funding, among other issues. In this brief, consider what can be done to achieve equity in future policy efforts.
Your ethics brief should build on your “Problem Statement” and identify:
- Ethical issues in the current policy environment
- Ways the status quo is increasing/decreasing health disparities and affecting other ethical issues.
- Some potential pitfalls or unintended consequences of current policy approaches.
- What kind of resources (political, economic, social, legal), if any, would be needed to improve ethical issues in this policy area?
