Therefore, to protect them, they are kept away from mainstream society and excluded. * Rights: The medical model of disability believes that medical professionals know best. This means that therefore the rights of the individual are seen as unimportant and are pushed aside to follow the opinion of the medical professionals. * Autonomy: Decisions in health and social care services for people with disabilities are usually made by carers or medical professionals, as they feel they know what is best for the individual. Therefore, autonomy is not an important principle in the medical model.

Nielsen states ”I shall argue…that autonomy cannot be widespread or secure in a society which is not egalitarian: where, that is, equality is not also a fundamental value which has an operative role within the society” (Munson 708). This is to mean, as reconstructed above, that for a society to be autonomous (in that its citizens are “capable of self-direction” (708)) it must also be egalitarian. The first premise of Nielsen’s argument relies on the idea of “moral equality,” which is to mean, as Nielsen says, “the life of everyone matters and matters equally“ (708). From this definition, I propose that the first premise is a self-evident claim. Nielsen later states, “Liberty cannot flourish without something approaching this equality of condition, and people without autonomous lives will surely live impoverished lives….In fine, a commitment to achieving equality of condition, far from undermining liberty
The right for free treatment with the NHS The right to see their medical records and to have their records kept confidential the right not to be forced into doing anything they dont want to do The right to choose Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably than someone else. This could be on the grounds of their disability than the employer treats or would treat someone without that disability whose relevant circumstances (including their abilities) are the same or not materially different
If you are assisting someone with their personal hygiene, it is important to respect that persons privacy and dignity, as well as carrying out personal hygiene tasks in the manner that the individual wishes you too. For example if a person prefers to have a daily bath or shower rather than a wash, it is your responsibility to ensure this happens. 2. Describe the effects of poor personal hygiene on health and well-being Poor personal hygiene can lead to skin irritations and breaks in the skin (pressure sores) as well as bacterial and parasitic infections, which can have a long term effect on an individuals health if the problem is not treated effectively. It can have an adverse effect on a person’s well-being and self-esteem as they may withdraw from society due to feelings of embarrassment because of bodily odours and unsightly appearance.
Describe how these factors might negatively affect quality outcomes for the organization. Outline at least three of the organization’s long-term goals and at least three short-term goals. Identify at least three fundamental risks and quality management policies that should be implemented and how they will influence health outcomes. Explain the relationship between risk management and quality management in the organization and how these two disciplines complement each other. According to Sollecito and Johnson (2013).
Thus, a person’s health should not be sacrificed due to that patient’s autonomy or right to make his or her own choices. As long as a patient is informed about the consequences of their actions, then one should be able to do what he or she deems necessary. Ms. Selbstmord’s case illustrates the shift that society is beginning to make further from autonomy and to other principles that place less value on a patient’s rights. References Callahan, D. (1994). Bioethics: Private choice and common good.
Where are they? When do events occur? (Stanhope, 2012). Asking the questions how and why help with the determining factors of the health event(s) which are related to factors, exposures, characteristics, behaviors, and contexts that determine the patterns. “Determinants may be individual, relational or social, communal, or environmental which makes this focus of the investigation of causes and association analytical epidemiology” (Stanhope, 2012, p.256).
In this paper Adler and Newman examine the many pathways in which socioeconomic status impacts health and implications for policy. The paper identifies four key causes of morbidity; Biological determinant, health care,
By applying economic concepts such as the law of supply and demand and pooling of like and unlike risks, I will look to gain further insight into how these two systems actually operate and what would be the case if the two systems had to co – exist within the same market. With the community rating system being the older of the two, its relevance and applicability in today’s health insurance market will also be made mention off. Finally, I will conclude this paper by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Background: Community rating system Community rating refers to the practice of charging a common premium to each and every member within a so called heterogeneous risk pool regardless of the fact that people within the pool face different health risk and thus spend varied amounts on health care each year. ( Reinhardt, 2010) Such a system prevents insurers from altering rates based on health status or even previous claims history.
