Better Professional Development

If professional integrity – as the triangle suggests – is inextricably linked to patient outcomes and system performance, health professionals will need to learn different ways of being in relationship with patients. This learning starts with a new kind of humility for health professionals and a willingness to work together with patients as partners on system redesign.

Policies and rules serve to regulate and prevent egregious misadventures by faculty and staff; nevertheless, dependence on a culture of personal integrity is essential for all of the vital day-to-day interpersonal encounters occurring throughout the center: physician-patient interactions in general, maintaining patient trust during the performance of surgery and procedures on anesthetized and sedated patients, collecting personal private information for medical uses and for financial reimbursement while preserving confidentiality, and meeting the expectation that accurate personal health information will be delivered to patients, however difficult the content and whatever the time commitment to deliver. Most often, a healthy culture based upon sound principles of ethical behavior will be much more important in achieving the missions of the AHSC than simply enforcing adherence to rules and regulations.

This provides additional safeguards against network outages and hardware failure. Furthermore, the format of the transactions is stored in such a way that tampering with the data is practically impossible. Any healthcare solution must emphasize data integrity and accountability. Although the amount of data obtained by a medical blockchain does not compare to the amount of raw data collected by medical devices, the data received by a medical blockchain is detailed. If we expand the scope of a smart contract, the data obtained from smart contract transactions [3,21] can be extremely valuable.

Caregivers’ use of robots and their effect on work environment – a scoping review

Patients’ safety also involves a more psychological aspect, namely their integrity. Wright’s (2018; 2019) ethnographic study in an elderly care home in Japan showed that the lifting robot Hug posed a potential danger to the patients’ integrity in two ways. Caregivers explained that they found it to be of discomfort for some patients; at the same time the robot replaced their physical touch and closeness with the patients. In this example, the patients’ integrity is interpreted as something that is part of – instead of apart from – the physical closeness with the human caregivers. It has been suggested that robots are constructed as a response to a solution rather than as a response to a problem, e.g., the hygiene of patients is constructed as a problem that could be offensive to their integrity. As pointed out in the study by Beedholm, Frederiksen, and Lomborg (2016) the caregivers started to conceive of the patients’ integrity as a problem only after the robot was introduced.
Follow-up of severely injured patients can be embedded in routine hospital care: results from a feasibility study

Staff interviews highlighted lack of time as a perceived challenge prior to program execution. Although confirmed in the post-implementation interviews, this did not appear to adversely affect the program with over three-quarters of calls within the designated timeframe. The immediate expansion of the program by staff to provide advice, information, referrals for patients and caregivers who expressed difficulties, would appear to contradict the concerns raised by staff in relation to time. One possible explanation for this is that the clinical team were incapable of shedding their professional integrity when faced with a clinical issue. Professional integrity is intimately linked with the identify to which professionals subscribe [28]. Underpinning professional integrity is the sense of personal adequacy and satisfaction in the workplace [29]; our findings support this, as clinicals reported increased levels of satisfaction and rewards with the program when able to assist patients/caregivers with clinical issues.
