Explain how evidence based - research can elimnate or minimize ethical concerns in the health care industry.

Select one of the following ethical scenarios: • A company uses patient DNA for research without the patient's knowledge or consent. • A nonprofit organization sells fetal tissue for research. (Do not assume this is illegal; this may be legal in some states or jurisdictions.) • Management invites researchers onto a health care research project who do not have the Institutional Review Board's (IRB) approval or exemption • An oncology clinical trials coordinator selects a relative for a research study who has the cancer under investigation. The relative is placed in the group receiving the experimental drug. Identify at least 3 peer-reviewed research articles that relate to the ethical concerns of the chosen scenario or to the process step at which ethical issues may have begun. In the Learning Team discussion board, discuss the scenario as a team. It may be helpful to also consider opposing viewpoints as you discuss the scenario. Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes in your own words in which you: • Identify at what step in the scenario the ethical concern(s) occurred. • Explain how evidence-based research can eliminate or minimize ethical concerns in the health care industry. • Compare and contrast research studies and quality management projects as they relate to health care. • Explain external factors that have an impact on the ethical concern in the scenario. Cite at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly references to support your presentation.

Answer 1

Informed consent is the only way to eliminate or minimise ethical concerns in the health care industry. Informed consent is a cornerstone of the ethical conduct of research involving humans. Based on the ethical principle of respect for persons , Which is by national commission for the protection of human subjects of biomedical and behavioural research, the goal of informed consent is to ensure that people are aware of the risk and potential benefits and make a voluntary decision about participanting.
