LTC Framework Effectiveness in Health Care Settings

Abstract

Ethical and legal requirements exhibit a complementary relationship in such a way that the latter requires LTC facility operators to comply with laws governing the health care industry at the state, federal, and local levels while the former advocates for human rights. In summary, ethical considerations are internal to the LTCs while legal requirements are external, developed by authorities governing the general state of quality service provision while curbing cases of neglect and patient abuse.
