Revolutionary advances in biomedical research and information
systems technology pose new and difficult issues for American
health care policy, especially in the context of managed care.
Health Care Policy in an Age of New Technologies takes on this
challenging array of issues, where the dignity of individual life
meets the imperatives of the national-level health care system: the
right to die, rationing of care, organ transplants, experiments
with human embryos, genetic research, confidentiality of medical
records, and other ethical dilemmas.
Chapters on a patient's bill of rights, and on medical education
and physician training, link the book to policy issues of direct
concern to the public and practitioners. Throughout the book, the
authors place critical questions in their political, legal, social,
economic, and ethical context. Each chapter ends with discussion
points, and a multimedia bibliography directs readers to relevant
films, documentaries, and case studies.
