DNA databanks and consent: a suggested policy option involving an authorization model. (1/10)

BACKGROUND: Genetic databases are becoming increasingly common as a means of determining the relationship between lifestyle, environmental exposures and genetic diseases. These databases rely on large numbers of research subjects contributing their genetic material to successfully explore the genetic basis of disease. However, as all possible research questions that can be posed of the data are unknown, an unresolved ethical issue is the status of informed consent for future research uses of genetic material. DISCUSSION: In this paper, we discuss the difficulties of an informed consent model for future ineffable uses of genetic data. We argue that variations on consent, such as presumed consent, blanket consent or constructed consent fail to meet the standards required by current informed consent doctrine and are distortions of the original concept. In this paper, we propose the concept of an authorization model whereby participants in genetic data banks are able to exercise a certain amount of control over future uses of genetic data. We argue this preserves the autonomy of individuals at the same time as allowing them to give permission and discretion to researchers for certain types of research. SUMMARY: The authorization model represents a step forward in the debate about informed consent in genetic databases. The move towards an authorization model would require changes in the regulatory and legislative environments. Additionally, empirical support of the utility and acceptability of authorization is required.  (+info)

The duty to follow up. (2/10)

Case histories are based on actual medical negligence claims, however certain facts have been omitted or changed by the author to ensure the anonymity of the parties involved. Many general practitioners are concerned that the law places all of the responsibility for follow up on to the GP and ask: 'What is the patient's responsibility'? This article explores the duty of GPs and patients to follow up tests and results.  (+info)

The emergence of an ethical duty to disclose genetic research results: international perspectives. (3/10)

The last decade has witnessed the emergence of international ethics guidelines discussing the importance of disclosing global and also, in certain circumstances, individual genetic research results to participants. This discussion is all the more important considering the advent of pharmacogenomics and the increasing incidence of 'translational' genetic research in the post-genomic era. We surveyed both the literature and the ethical guidelines using selective keywords. We then analyzed our data using a qualitative method approach and singled out countries or policies that were representative of certain positions. From our findings, we conclude that at the international level, there now exists an ethical duty to return individual genetic research results subject to the existence of proof of validity, significance and benefit. Even where these criteria are met, the right of the research participant not to know also has to be taken into consideration. The existence of an ethical duty to return individual genetic research results begs several other questions: Who should have the responsibility of disclosing such results and when? To whom should the results be disclosed? How? Finally, will this ethical 'imperative' become a legally recognized duty as well?  (+info)

A patient's duty to follow up. (4/10)

The allegations of negligence against Congress were that there was a failure to follow up the patient's diagnosis and treatment and, in particular, a failure to follow up the recommended cholesterol test and failure to follow up the referral by Dr Boffa to a specialist physician for assessment of suspected ischaemic heart disease. The allegations against Dr Boffa were that he was negligent in failing to properly diagnose and/or treat the patient on 2 March 2000 and in then failing to follow up on the patient's suspected ischaemic heart disease.  (+info)

Notifying patients exposed to blood products associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: integrating science, legal duties and ethical mandates. (8/10)

The issue of notifying people who have been exposed to blood products that have been associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has arisen at a time when the Canadian blood system is under intense scrutiny. As a result, the Canadian Red Cross Society issued a recommendation to health care institutions that recipients of CJD-associated blood products be identified, notified and counselled. Although Canadian jurisprudence in the realm of informed consent may support a policy of individual notification, a review of the scientific evidence and the applicable ethical principles arguably favours a policy of a more general public notification. Indeed, situations such as this require a unique approach to the formation of legal and ethical duties, one that effectively integrates all relevant factors. As such, the authors argue that individual notification is currently not justified. Nevertheless, if a system of general notification is implemented (e.g., through a series of public health announcements), it should provide, for people who wish to know, the opportunity to find out whether they were given CJD-associated products.  (+info)

The "duty to recontact" is not a formal medical term, but rather a concept that refers to the ethical obligation of healthcare providers to inform and follow up with their patients if new information becomes available that may affect their previous medical diagnoses or treatments. This duty arises from the principle of respect for autonomy, which requires healthcare providers to involve their patients in decision-making about their care based on complete and accurate information.

In some cases, new research or clinical guidelines may emerge that call into question a previous diagnosis or treatment recommendation. In such situations, healthcare providers may have a duty to recontact their patients to inform them of the new information and discuss any necessary changes to their care plan. The specifics of this duty may vary depending on factors such as the significance of the new information, the potential risks and benefits of different treatment options, and the patient's individual circumstances and preferences. Ultimately, the goal of the duty to recontact is to ensure that patients receive the best possible care based on current medical knowledge and standards.

The "duty to warn" is a legal and ethical obligation that healthcare professionals have to inform their patients or others who may be at risk of harm from the actions or behaviors of their patient. This duty arises from the principle of non-maleficence, which requires doctors to avoid causing harm to their patients.

In the context of medical practice, the duty to warn typically applies when a patient has a mental illness or condition that makes them a danger to themselves or others. For example, if a psychiatrist determines that their patient poses a serious threat of violence to a specific individual, they may have a legal and ethical obligation to warn that person or take other steps to protect them from harm.

The specifics of the duty to warn can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the circumstances involved. In some cases, healthcare professionals may be required to report certain types of threats or behaviors to law enforcement authorities. Ultimately, the goal of the duty to warn is to prevent harm and promote the safety and well-being of patients and others who may be at risk.

Private duty nursing is a type of nursing care provided in a home or other residential setting to an individual who requires more intensive or complex medical care than can be provided through traditional home health services. This type of care is usually provided by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) and is tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient. The services may include direct patient care, such as administering medications, monitoring vital signs, wound care, and managing medical equipment, as well as education and support for the patient and their family members. Private duty nursing is often utilized when a patient is recovering from surgery, has a chronic illness or disability, or requires end-of-life care. It is usually paid for out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance.
