Health care and human service professionals often experience
anxiety about potential adverse legal repercussions for actions
taken or not taken in the course of caring for patients or
clients.
In this volume, professionally distinguished and diverse authors
discuss both the real and perceived legal liability context within
which health and human service delivery to older persons takes
place. The benefits and costs of litigious, legislative, and
regulatory interventions on the quality of care and the quality of
life for recipients of geriatric services is evaluated. Most
important, chapters present suggestions for ways to effectively
reduce or manage legal risks and anxieties while improving patient
care. This volume fills a gap in the literature by providing
careful and accurate analysis of legal issues rarely translated
into practical and useful advice for health care and human service
professionals.
