From Human Ability to Ethical Principle: An Intercultural Perspective on Autonomy
Before beginning work on this assignment, please review the expanded grading rubric for specific instructions relating to content and formatting.
In this assignment, you will analyze the concept of diversity, autonomy, and bioethics.
There exists a crossroads between diversity, autonomy, and bioethics, which must be identified and respected. The enigma of patient-centered care exercising patient autonomy with an overlay of cultural diversity and bioethics is highly complex. The right choice rests within the patient, and the health professional must provide the necessary information to allow the patient to make the best suitable choice based on his or her personal values.
This assignment will require you to read the articles listed below and prepare a three- to five-page response highlighting the challenges of diversity, autonomy, and bioethics for the healthcare professional and a best practice approach to how healthcare delivery can best accommodate the diverse population of the United States.

In this assignment, you will examine how advances in technology and telehealth have improved health care in rural communities. Transportation, health monitoring, timelines, and communication within the health care system are key areas where telehealth can reduce or minimize challenges and burdens with patient encounters. The increased use of telehealth and the application of interoperable systems increases the need to protect patient information and health care system data. You will write a paper to assess how telehealth, interoperability, and Health Information Systems (HIMS) can be used to deliver health care services and improve patient-centric health care practices in rural communities.
Instructions
Write a 4-6 page paper in which you:
Determine three key health care services that could be delivered by telehealth in rural communities.
Examine three technologies applied in telehealth for the delivery of three selected health care services.
Critique how interoperability requirements applied to telehealth improve the delivery of three selected health care services.
Examine how Health Information Management Systems (HIMS) are applied in telehealth for delivery of three selected health care services.
Propose how the application of telehealth for the delivery of three selected health care services could improve patient-centric health care practices.
Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment

Video Review 3: “Health care:
America vs. the World”
Millions of Americans have no health insurance and live in
fear that one illness could bankrupt them. Even though the U.S. spends far more
on health care than other wealthy nations, Americans die of preventable
diseases at greater rates. The PBS NewsHour special, “Critical Care: America vs
the World,” examines how four other nations achieve universal care for less
money, with better outcomes.

Watch the video and provide a summary and critical
reflection from the perspective of an executive healthcare administrator.
