1. Ethical Challenges From Reimbursement Models
This chapter will initially address the complicated challenges of different reimbursement models, including the ethical dilemmas of quantity over quality by some models or vice versa for others. The chapter will also review value-based competition and how the rules of this model might infringe on medical ethical principles. A range of other restrictions will be discussed, including the use of patients’ personal values as guidance for communication strategies.
2. Principles From Different Professional Codes of Ethics
This chapter will briefly review ethical principles that are common to physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, athletic trainers, social workers and nurses. Applications to these principals will be applied through common scenarios that are relevant to the interprofessional team.
3. Recognize Potential Ethical Conflicts Between Interprofessional Team Members
This chapter will review conflicts between team members, such as those that occur when issues had not been discussed or resolved in time, as well as other scenarios, such as those where there are different perspectives from team members and different levels of understanding regarding the patients’ role in the care process. The challenges of interprofessional practice will be discussed, followed by strategies for building respect and trust for more open and mutual discussions.
4. Cultural Barriers and Facilitators
This chapter will share the different types of barriers cited by healthcare professionals, such as language barriers, cultural differences in perspective for service delivery, and the challenges of limited resources to facilitate culturally competent care. Effective tools and strategies will then be shared for increasing cultural awareness and resolving such issues.
5. Biases That May Affect Decision-Making
This chapter will cover evidence from the literature and practical examples of how a healthcare professional might be torn between their different commitments, such as their allegiance to the client’s autonomy versus their allegiance to the client’s safety. Similarly, they may need to consider how the client’s values may be different from their own. Other allegiances may be difficult when considering the client’s needs against regulatory mandates or employer directives. Once many such conflicts have been reviewed, proposed approaches will be shared to promote this complex decision-making process.
