Review & Description

Health Care Law and Ethics, Seventh Edition, embodies a relationship-oriented approach to health law, and it offers comprehensive coverage of essential topics as well as current and controversial subjects. The new edition of this pioneering casebook is well suited for courses ranging from health law surveys to more specialized courses dealing with medical malpractice or bioethics.
Among the features that have made this casebook a success:
A logical and straightforward organization, providing coverage under three main areas: The Provider and the Patient; The Patient, the Provider, and the State; and Institutions, Providers, and the State;
Coverage of important current issues in health care law, including federalism issues, consumer-driven health care and health savings accounts, prescription drug coverage, specialty hospitals, medical malpractice reform, and constitutionality issues over restricting access to health care;
A companion website (www.health-law.org) with updates and supplemental material by chapter, significant developments since publication, and errata.

The Seventh Edition includes coverage of cases and laws influencing today's health care law:

Oregon's assisted suicide law cases;
California medical marijuana case;
Aetna v. Davila (2004) on managed care liability and ERISA pre-emption;
new Medicare Part D covering prescription drugs;
Latest developments in the medical malpractice crisis and reform efforts.

Review & Description

This law school casebook focuses on the regulation of medical technology. Encompasses not just legislative and administrative agency controls on the creation and use of such technology, but also less direct controls mediated through the systems of tort law, insurance, and intellectual property regimes, among others. This work is organized thematically rather than sequentially in reference to a product's life-cycle, and consider the many ways in which society attempts to manage the production and application of medical technologies, tracing the research and development process from laboratory to use in the treatment of patients.

Review & Description

For more than two decades, Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems has defined the field of health law, providing a balanced overview of law as it affects patients, professionals, institutions, and entities that deliver and finance U.S. health care. Health Law comprehensively treats topics concerns such as the oversight of quality (including the latest developments in patient safety), cost control (including consumer-directed health care), guarantees of adequate access to services, exempt-organization tax issues, transactions and relationships among health care professionals and providers, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and malpractice litigation. Written without a policy bias to fairly reflect all viewpoints, the book considers legal and ethical issues involving death, human reproduction, medical treatment decision making, and medical research. It also explores the government's efforts to control costs and expand access through Medicare and Medicaid and examines government attempts to police anticompetitive activities, fraud, and abuse. Using carefully edited primary materials and effective classroom-tested problems, the book exposes students to the core issues in health law.
