  1. Complex Hospital Discharges: Justice Considered. [REVIEW]Maura C. Schlairet - 2014 - HEC Forum 26 (1):69-78.
    How do we respond to the patient who no longer needs inpatient care but refuses to leave the hospital? Complex hospital discharges commonly involve consideration of legal, financial, clinical, and practical issues. Yet, the ethical and contextual issues embedded in complex inpatient discharges are of concern and have not received adequate attention by medical ethicists. The aim of this work is to encourage clinicians and administrators to incorporate a justice rubric when approaching inpatient discharge dilemmas. This paper presents justice as (...)

  • Can Medical Repatriation Be Ethical? Establishing Best Practices.Mark Kuczewski - 2012 - American Journal of Bioethics 12 (9):1-5.
    Hospitals in the United States have been engaging in the practice of returning immigrant patients, usually undocumented immigrant patients, to their country of origin when the patient has long-term medical needs for which no reimbursement is available. I argue that for such an action to be ethical, it must be done in accordance with the mission and values of hospitals. I describe three standards that an individual instance of repatriation must meet to be ethical: (1) patient best interests, (2) medical (...)

  • Addressing complex hospital discharge by cultivating the virtues of acknowledged dependence.Annie B. Friedrich - 2020 - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 41 (2):99-114.
    Every day around the country, patients are discharged from hospitals without difficulty, as the interests of the hospital and the patient tend to align: both the hospital and the patient want the patient to leave and go to a setting that will promote the patient’s continued recovery. In some cases, however, this usually routine process does not go quite as smoothly. Patients may not want to leave the hospital, or they may insist on an unsafe discharge plan. In other cases, (...)

  • The Ethics of Discharging Asylum Seekers to Harm: A Case From Australia.Ryan Essex & David Isaacs - 2018 - Journal of Bioethical Inquiry 15 (1):39-44.
    In February 2016 a twelve-month-old asylum seeker, who came to be know as Baby Asha, was transferred from Nauru and hospitalized in Brisbane. This case came to public attention after Doctors refused to discharge Asha as she would have been returned to detention on Nauru. What in other circumstances would have been considered routine clinical care, quickly turned into an act of civil disobedience. This paper will discuss the ethical aspects of this case, along with its implications for clinicians and (...)
