What is the goal of a hospice?
Hospice is not a place, but a philosophy of care for people with a terminal diagnosis. Hospice care focuses on pain management and symptom control through care delivered by an interdisciplinary team of clinicians. Hospice care can take place wherever the patient lives- in the home, hospital, nursing home or hospice unit.The care team includes a physician, nurse, nursing assistant, social worker and chaplain. Everyone works together, along with the patient and family, to ensure the patient remain as comfortable as possible throughout the remainder of life. Hospice understand that pain can be physical, emotional or spiritual.Answer 2A hospice is a facility that offers dying patients the chance to die comfortably and with dignity. Patients here are not hooked up to life saving devices that would simply prolong life, but offer no solvable treatment to their disease. There is a team of nurses, doctors, social workers and other aides to support the patient and his family offering palliative care, emotional support and comfort during this emotionally draining period. The caring and competent aides who offered home hospice care for my father during his last days on earth were simply amazing. They took such good care of him, and words will never truly thank them for their support.

If a patient is pronounced legally brain dead does the hospital have the right to pull the plug even if the next living relative is refusing to unplug the respirator?
Medical doctors decide which medical treatments are appropriate for each patient. They are under no duty to provide medical care to a brain dead patient so there is no tort or criminal liability if they unplug a brain dead patient. Most families of brain dead patients want the respirator unplugged since their loved one is already gone and the financial pressure of continued medical care is sometimes oppressive.
Digital Interaction In Telemedicine?
Before we examine cybersecurity in the context of telemedicine, let us understand the extent of digital interaction in telemedicine with an overview of the steps involved in a teleconsultation: The patient contacts the hospital seeking a consultation with a doctor. The hospital’s front office staff log the patient’s particulars in the hospital management system Additional information about the patient, including patient’s medical history and scans of test results, is requested. The patient emails the requested details or uploads the required information into the hospital’s repository of medical records which is linked to the patient information module in the hospital management system A teleconsultation is scheduled through videoconferencing. Payment is collected through a payment gateway During the consultation, the doctor records detailed case notes about the patient in the patient information module. Specific medical information may be shared by the patient through a chat application to avoid ambiguity The doctor advises the patient on next steps and sends a detailed report to the patient through email to maintain a written record of the interaction and prescribed treatment This is a highly simplified example of the telemedicine process, but even within this overview we can see multiple opportunities for cyberthreat activity: Keyloggers in front office systems can capture credentials that provide access to the hospital management system. More sophisticated malware can capture screenshots and even record videos to help the attacker understand exactly how to enter the hospital’s information systems All medical records that the patient provides to the hospital can be intercepted through malware. Ransomware in the repository of records can cripple the hospital by preventing access to patients’ medical and other records Cyberattackers can redirect the patient to a fake payment gateway to steal the patient’s banking credentials, or hijack the patient’s payment Cyberattacks can intercept the videoconference and chat messages to steal information. Keyloggers in the doctor’s device can capture the doctor’s credentials, allowing the attacker to access the hospital’s information system with the doctor’s access privileges Written records sent by the doctor/hospital to the patient can be intercepted and accessed by the attacker if the records are not protected In addition, the hospital should also consider the security of communications between facilities when records, such as test results, are transmitted from one healthcare facility to another. Chat applications may also store chat records in data centres located in other countries and with poor internal access controls, raising concerns over compliance with data sovereignty and privacy legislation.
Can a hospital be sued?
Yes, if a patient is deemed to have received inappropriate, inadequate or even dangerous treatment from it. However, it is more common for the NHS in general to be sued in such cases- incidents of actual hospitals being sued usually apply in the case of private ones.

What are example of legal behavior?
Ethics is always present in a hospital. Some things you may consider unethical is a DNR, in which if the patient goes into cardiac arrest or a condition like that, doctors cannot under any circumstances revive the patient, and must allow them to die. Another, is that if a patient is infected with the blood of another patient (for whatever reason) who, say, has HIV. The patient, or even nurse or doctor, must not be aware they have been infected. This is technically leaking patient information out, and is forbidden/ illegal. Ethics is a wide spectrum, and these are just a few examples of possibly unethical behavior that is "legal."
How To Know When to Rent A Hospital Bed?
Sometimes renting a hospital bed is key to a patient’s comfort, a speedy recovery, and less wear and tear on the caretaker. The cost of renting a hospital bed can often be covered by the person’s medical insurance; if in doubt, phone the number on the back of the insurance card and find out. Even if it isn’t covered, the money needed to rent a hospital bed for the right reason is money well spent. Oftentimes surgical patients are released from the hospital in stable condition, but are still quite debilitated with pain and a limited range of motion. Some surgeries where renting a hospital bed makes sense might include joint replacement surgery, abdominal surgeries, fusions and surgeries of the back or neck; in short, any surgery that involves bending the affected joint, or puts stress on the abdominal muscles. In this case, both the patient and caregiver are saved a lot of strain. The caregiver is not having to lift a patient from a bed that is low to the ground, and doesn’t have to lift the patient into a sitting position, or lay a person down. The bed does it, at a speed that is comfortable to the patient. Transferring in and out of bed is a quicker and easier proposition. The patient is not having to put strain on injured parts, they are in essence getting up and down from a sitting position, not a prone position. People with broken legs, pregnant women on bed rest, and the generally debilitated can shift positions with more comfort. They can raise and lower their heads or legs with no effort or pain. Be sure when ordering the hospital bed that a trapeze is also ordered. This is the triangular shape on the end of the chain that hangs down over the bed. The patient grasps this to sit up or shift position. This will make the caretaker’s job even easier. With a hospital bed, the patient can eat, read, visit, or watch TV from a comfortable position. Less strain is put on the neck. Knowing who needs a hospital bed makes recovery easier for everyone. When in doubt, rent.
