I initially rented this text for a required class then when I saw all the information it provided I purchased it; I know this textbook will be a helpful resource for years to come.

Good book. Very in depth reading regarding frequent issues dealt within the health care field.

It is an informative textbook for the subject of ethical management in a health care setting.

This book is good for learning about Ethics in Healthcare. It could be worded a little easier for those that are just reading about Ethics for the first time. Other than that it is a good book.

Easy to read and interesting as well!

Written by a Professor of Hospital Administration, the newly updated and expanded fourth edition of Ethics in Health Services Management is an in-depth educational manual for students and professionals alike, drawing upon eighty case studies and vignettes from a full range of care settings to illustrate its precepts for solving a wide variety of ethical dilemmas. Chapters cover organizational responses to ethical problems, conflicts of interest and fiduciary duty, patient autonomy and the paradigm of physician-assisted suicide, and much more. Extensive documentation, an index, and a bibliography round out this superb, textbook-quality resource for confronting moral and ethical medical quandaries.

Good reference.

This book did not come with the access code that they said was part of the selling point of this book. Very upset and poor advertising.
