Choose one of the topics listed below to address in your infographic.
Beneficence and nonmaleficence
Continuity of care
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
Must include details on whether someone besides the patient and their doctor can override this choice and how that might occur.
Equitable care
Informed consent
Internal Review Boards for health care research participants
You would create this from the perspective of the hospital being part of a teaching and research institution.
Patient autonomy
Patient privacy
Must include how and what information may be shared with others, including information that must be reported to the state and federal agencies.
In your infographic:
Identify the topic to be addressed as your title.
Explain the patients right in your own words.
Examine historical information that led to the enactment of the patients right.
Must include details of how people who are part of at least one marginalized group (e.g., race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, immigrant, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, age, spiritual and religious beliefs, etc.) were harmed before the right was enacted.
Share a recent example of how the right was not upheld leading to legal action(s).
Evaluate which patients (for example, people who experience healthcare disparities at a higher rate) are likely to experience inequity related to the selected patient right.
Discuss what the organization will do to preserve the patients rights.
Discuss steps the patient should pursue if they believe their rights were not upheld.
Your infographic should be pleasing to the eye, professional-looking, and it should consider your audience: the patients and the staff members working with them. Thorough details are required, but your infographic should not be too busy.
