Description
Health administrators in home healthcare face numerous legal and ethical issues that need careful management. The home healthcare industry delivers essential patient care services in residential settings while health administrators confront critical legal and ethical challenges. This research proposal seeks to explore the legal and ethical issues facing health administrators in the home healthcare industry, focusing on five primary areas: Health administrators in home healthcare must address legal and ethical challenges including eligibility criteria compliance, elder abuse and neglect cases, labor law adherence and worker rights protection as well as ethical patient care decisions along with healthcare worker overwork and burnout. The study will assess legal consequences and non-compliance risks related to insufficient documentation of home healthcare eligibility. The investigation will survey how common elder abuse is in home healthcare settings by evaluating legal penalties for neglect and abuse while identifying strategies for administrators to address these challenges. The proposal presents solutions to home healthcare labor law violations by focusing on wage disputes and overtime pay enforcement through the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The fourth research area examines how healthcare providers face ethical challenges when balancing patient autonomy against paternalistic actions while assessing the legal and ethical risks of these conflicting principles. The research will explore how worker burnout affects healthcare workers' mental and physical health and its consequences for patient care and legal outcomes. This research intends to develop a thorough understanding of the legal and ethical challenges affecting the home healthcare industry from health administrators' viewpoints. The research will present actionable solutions to boost compliance levels while advancing ethical decision-making practices and building work environments that protect healthcare workers from burnout and maintain patient safety. The research relies on case studies, interviews with healthcare leaders, and literature reviews to produce essential findings for resolving ongoing home healthcare challenges.
