Role of ethics in health care

Some main solutions can be fruitful in solving the problems faced by healthcare. First, favor the moral principles of treatment. There should be a plan on ethics and nurses should be aware to adopt these principles in their daily routine to perform their duty well. Second, recommend continuing schooling. The study consists of ethical content and education is the thing that gives thoughts to nurses for decision making. Orientation for new health workers and nurses should include the decision about ethical principles and their implementation when doing a job. Third, Develop a progressive domain for health workers. Create an environment in clinics or in hospitals where nurses can easily discuss the problem of the patients and how these problems can be solved. Because everybody wants to do his work effectively. However, these ethical issues are complicated what with talking with concerned people can find solutions. Also, Collect various departments in one place. Doctors and nurses are the people who can take out the patient from disappointment. So, both can understand the condition of the patient and with their strong intention, the importance of ethical principles can be appreciated. Lastly, Arrange specialists of ethics. Sometimes the specialists or consultants are very helpful. The talk about different ideas and perspectives and discussed to resolve the problems related to patients. With their attention and interest, a big issue can be sorted out more easily (Wood, RN, & contributor, 2014).

The support from the head of the organization or the hospital is very essential. Without their attention, we can do nothing. So, the implementation of ethical principles and rights of the patients is impossible if there is no support from the leaders. These solutions are very effective in the fast recovery of the patient. They give confidence to the patient which motivates an ill person to fight against the disease. Adopting these ethical solutions in daily life a health worker can get very progressive results.

Digital health technologies like VR/AR, 3d printing, or nanotechnology are using to diagnose the disease and its treatment. The use of digital technology has a positive impact in the field of medicine. A patient who is suffering from poverty and has not enough money for the treatment. Here are some guidelines which are beneficial for the treatment of the patient. For example, a rural poor have to travel far away distances to go to hospitals and he has no transport often the poor are disabled and they can't go to a doctor. Health care workers bring mobile dispensaries to their areas to facilitate them. Despite this, telemedicine and m-health technology help to visit the doctor to a patient who lives far away from the clinic. Both sources are useful in connecting the doctors with their patients. Through email, a patient can send information about the disease to a doctor and he can respond positively. The poorest people live in such conditions as asthma or obesity so m-health is very useful to keep a link with people. The services nearly always on m-health technology is designed for the people who are facing mental illness and substance abuse. So being accompanied with patients at all time it is very useful for reporting symptoms and forgetting therapeutic guidance (Aventor, APR 09, 2021).

Health care worker has an opportunity to improve access to health care for the poor's using social technology. It is useful for all. The three main technologies of social media can play a vital role to help people. The first one is crowdfunding. A public appeal can be done for funding of medical care activities or arrange of money for the expenses related to medical care like travel, operation, adoption, and many others (Snyder, 2016). The next one is medical blogging. It is a source of information about health care workers, you can raise awareness medical practice is to keep going and the patience can content you treat the disease (Gelbolingo,2019). The online encyclopedia is another useful source for providing free health information for all. It is easy to access and updated day by day. In the current situation like Covid-19. Everyone can take help to recover from illness. We are facing a pandemic situation so these social technologies help people to keep informed and guide them.

Philosopher approaches which are Utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, ethical egoism, and social contract are the areas or the method of considering and determining ethical behaviors (Rachels & Rachels, 2019). This ethic is sometimes compared with the idea of “the greatest good for the greatest number" and it proves helpful for doing something great in the field of health care. This ethics helps us to understand the point that all humans are respectful and should be treated with nobility because they have rights. So, in health care departments patients should be treated with full attention. The health care workers played the role of public relations officers also when they meet their patients till they recover from the disease. In the medical or in health care unit we should avoid ethical egoism. We should work from humanity and the behavior of a worker should be kind and understanding to solve the problems of a patient (Center, 2013). Social contract means people living in society it means all people help each other in the hours of need.
