Philosophy of practice includes social needs, practitioner’s responsibility, patient-centered approach, and caring paradigm.

...One of the most common ethical issues facing healthcare marketing managers, is the issue of effectively ensuring that the item that they are marketing is commensurate with the health and safety of the individuals who will be utilizing the product, due to the fact that many healthcare organizations engage in marketing products that have not been thoroughly tested, and this could cause tremendous safety implications for the general public. So it is imperative that marketing managers seek to ensure that the products that they are marketing to the public at large are actually safe for the consumer to utilize. Another ethical issue facing marketing managers is the issue of marketing the products to the individuals that are most in need of those products, instead of marketing these products to the mass population, as a means by which to increase the profitability of their healthcare organization. Although any individual has the right to purchase a product that is marketed, many individuals do not have the knowledge that is needed to ascertain whether or not the product is absolutely necessary for them, which makes it imperative that marketing managers seek to focus their marketing to those individuals that are in need of the products that they are advertising. A methodology that could be utilized to effectively ensure that the products that marketing managers are marketing are safe for the public, is to ensure that the drugs or other healthcare related products have been approved by...

...Unethical Marketing of Medical and Pharmaceutical Products-Part Two Tamara Floyd Sherome Graham Frances Kadambi Viviene Smith Grand Canyon University: NRS 437V Ethical Decision Making in Healthcare October 20th, 2013 Unethical Marketing of Medical and Pharmaceutical Products Part Two The pharmaceutical industry along with the manufacturers of healthcare products and technologies often encourage the misappropriation and distribution of marginally beneficial products and technologies in the healthcare industry. These companies often use various advertising methods to influence members of the public to request their products and services without adequate knowledge of their effectiveness and implications to their medical condition. This paper will provide a summary of the worldview s and philosophies of a hospital administrator, a spiritual leader, a health care colleague, and a lay person as their views relate to the concept of the ethical dilemmas and implications of the unethical marketing of medical and pharmaceutical products in the United States. Hospital Administrator The Hospital administrator who wishes to remain anonymous believes that many pharmaceutical companies and the marketing strategies they employ have had a negative impact on the healthcare industry (L.B, personal communication, October 17, 2013). She believes that many practitioners often prescribe needed products only after receiving biased information along with subtle influence from the manufacturers...

...Everyone knows that direct- to consumer-marketing is focused on the patients. There are a lot of ways to get the attention of these patients. Advertising can be done through social media, print, radio, television, and word of mouth. “Prescription direct-to-consumer advertising has become a highly scrutinized and researched topic in healthcare marketing,” (Rollins, B.L., King, K. Zinkhan G., & Perri, M., 2011.). Banning direct-to-consumer would be very beneficial. The reason is because of the misconception and manipulation that it can cause the public. Especially when the elderly began focusing on what is being said. “The PhRMA “Guiding Principles” say that DTC ads should foster responsible communications between patients and health care professionals to help patients achieve better health.” (Stange, K.C., 2007). However, manipulating the public by distributing placebos to one group of people and the actual drug to another group of people is a bad way of communication. People who are on the state boards regulate compounding but the federal also has a part in it. According to Roth, “The FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) is working to monitor the schemes that have been going on with the compounding pharmacies.” Even though the FDA is aware of how law resources are needed, and how to direct the compounding pharmacy industries, I believe that they should be more involved when it comes to compounding medication due all of the meningitis cases that are arising.

...approach to health care. It is about loving care and provisions to those that seek recovery and wellness for the whole body on a day-to-day basis. However, the healing model is in contrary to the cure model used in the traditional hospitals that emphasize more on the eradication of illness or sickness through new technology and pharmaceuticals. The healing health care is focused on the return to health and whole being rather than the focus on curing illness and disease. The healing concept advances the idea that aside from addressing physical demands and needs, the holistic approach should also be focused and sensitive to the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient. There are three key components to a healing hospital paradigm, which consist of a healing physical environment, an integrated work design and technology, and a “culture” of radical loving care based (Eberst, 2008). Many challenges will be experienced in the traditional hospital environment when in attempt to implementing a holistic healing approach. This paper will bring to light the components of the healing hospital and the many encounters that are involved in the continuous effort of caring to each and every patient in a healing environment. A healing hospital is more than “just walls, windows and mortar” (Chapman, 2011). It is built with people that have a “Servant’s Heart,” or has the love and compassion to serve in a healing physical environment at all levels in the health care field. The healing...
