Corporate Social Responsibility in Health and Social Care
by
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a crucial component in many industries, driving companies to adopt sustainable practices and prioritize the well-being of stakeholders. While CSR is widely discussed in sectors such as manufacturing and retail, its role in the health and social care sectors remains underexplored. In an era where resilience, environmental sustainability, and social accountability are becoming increasingly important, understanding how CSR initiatives can enhance both the operational and ethical dimensions of health and social care institutions is essential for the future of these sectors. Corporate Social Responsibility in Health and Social Care provides a comprehensive analysis of CSR's application in the critical fields of health and social care. Through a detailed exploration of topics like the green economy, waste management, and the well-being of stakeholders, this book offers an essential foundation for students and researchers alike. With a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities within the health and social care context, it serves both as a resource for academic study and a guide for institutions seeking to implement more responsible and resilient practices.
The Ethical Algorithm
by
Understanding and improving the science behind the algorithms that run our lives is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing issues of this century. Traditional fixes, such as laws, regulations and watchdog groups, have proven woefully inadequate. Reporting from the cutting edge of scientific research, The Ethical Algorithm offers a new approach: a set of principled solutions based on the emerging and exciting science of socially aware algorithm design. Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth explain how we can better embed human principles into machine code - without halting the advance of data-driven scientific exploration. Weaving together innovative research with stories of citizens, scientists, and activists on the front lines, The Ethical Algorithm offers a compelling vision for a future, one in which we can better protect humans from the unintended impacts of algorithms while continuing to inspire wondrous advances in technology.
Medicine and Social Justice
by
2nd edition - Because medicine can preserve life, restore health and maintain the body's functions, it is widely acknowledged as a basic good that just societies should provide for their members. Yet, there is wide disagreement over the scope and content of what to provide, to whom, how, when, and why. In this unique and comprehensive volume, some of the best-known philosophers, physicians, legal scholars, political scientists, and economists writing on the subject discuss what social justice in medicine should be. Their contributions deepen our understanding of the theoretical and practical issues that run through the contemporary debate. The forty-two chapters in this edition update and expand upon the thirty-four chapters of the 2002 first edition. New chapters address questions of justice related to genetics, medical malpractice, research on human subjects, pandemic and disaster planning, newborn screening, and justice for the brain dead and those with profound neurological injury.
Organizational Ethics and Moral Integrity in Secular Societies
by
This book explores an undeveloped area in postmodern thought: organizational ethics. Ethical debates and analyses usually focus on a particular act or action, an actor, and/or how a secular society should address any of those particular persons or events. In the Post Modern age, ethical decisions and policies are characterized by moral and cultural pluralism. However, there is a second factor that complicates ethical and policy decisions even further. This book argues that in the postmodern age ethical decisions often need to be understood as part of the decision making of organizations and bureaucracies. Organizational decisions often have direct bearing on the choices made by individuals. Two areas that exemplify postmodern issue are the areas of health care and education. Health Care organizations make policy decisions that affect every aspect of a patient's care from admission to treatment and the types of care that are or are not offered. Both education and health care are the object of the significant investment of resources, both areas are value laden in postmodern, pluralistic societies, and yet we do not have a comprehensive method to understand them or evaluate them. This book is of interest to bioethicists, physicians, nurses, health care policy students, educational policy experts, students and government regulators.

What Kind of Death
by
1st edition - Many books have been published about physician-assisted death. This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of that subject, but it also extends the discussion to a broader range of end-of-life decisions including suicide, palliative care and sedation until death. In every jurisdiction that has laws permitting some kind of physician-assisted death, a central point of controversy is whether such assistance should only be available to dying patients, or to everyone who wants to end his life. The right to determine the manner and time of one's own death, however, does not necessarily mean that physicians should be permitted to cooperate in ensuring a quick and peaceful death. In this book, Govert den Hartogh considers the fundamental and practical matters - including concrete issues of legal regulation - related to end-of life decision making.
