Objectives:

• To compile case studies, some with a generic focus and others addressing specific professional issues
• To use the work of past students, specifically reflective assignments, as a resource for establishing cases that are authentic within the professional workplace.
• To establish a resource that provides cases that fall within individual professional domains as well as covering the breadth of legal and ethical issues dealt with the subject..

Remarks:

It has always been intended that the current project would act as a pilot for a larger study in the future. This intention has now been realized with the successful acquisition of an extra HK$457,520 funding for a project entitled: "Establishment of an interactive, faculty-wide website to facilitate and enhance students' awareness and application of legal and ethical issues in healthcare." (eLDSS0632). This now means that the original learning outcomes - to support students' learning and critical evaluation through the use of ethical and legal cases - can be explored further and in greater depth in the new study.

Outcomes & Deliverables:

• A computer resource consisting of discipline specific cases for Department of Health Technology and Informatics
