Journal of Health Ethics

Healthcare changes have resulted in the development of reimbursement initiatives such as value-based purchasing. These initiatives are designed to improve quality of care, decrease healthcare costs and improve the perception of care. Many of the compliance mandates are related to care provided by the professional nurse. Ethical considerations of these mandates will be explored utilizing the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics.
