Scenario: For this assignment, you are creating an infographic to be shared with employees across a large Physician Group organization, which consists of licensed health care professionals and administrative staff of approximately 500-600 people. The infographic you create will inform the patients and care providers about patient rights, how the licensed care providers will uphold these in the delivery of the patients health care, and what steps must be followed to ensure the measure is met now and in the future. The infographic will be placed on the wall of exam rooms.
Directions: Choose one of the topics listed below to address in your infographic.
Beneficence and nonmaleficence
Continuity of care
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
Must include details on whether someone besides the patient and their doctor can override this choice and how that might occur.
Equitable care
Informed consent
Internal Review Boards for health care research participants
You would create this from the perspective of the hospital being part of a teaching and research institution.
Patient autonomy
Patient privacy
Must include how and what information may be shared with others, including information that must be reported to the state and federal agencies.
To create the Infographic, you may use any of the infographic tools shown in the to create your infographic. You must be able to download and submit the final product in Waypoint, which means it must be saved in PDF format. If you need assistance saving to PDF, please see the links below.
In your infographic:
Identify the topic to be addressed as your title.
Explain the patients right in your own words.
Examine historical information that led to the enactment of the patients right.
Must include details of how people who are part of at least one marginalized group (e.g., race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, immigrant, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, age, spiritual and religious beliefs, etc.) were harmed before the right was enacted.
Share a recent example of how the right was not upheld leading to legal action(s).
Evaluate which patients (for example, people who experience healthcare disparities at a higher rate) are likely to experience inequity related to the selected patient right.
Discuss what the organization will do to preserve the patients rights.
Discuss steps the patient should pursue if they believe their rights were not upheld.
Your infographic should be pleasing to the eye, professional-looking, and it should consider your audience: the patients and the staff members working with them. Thorough details are required, but your infographic should not be too busy.
