- Bringing Transparency to Medicine: Exploring Physicians' Views and Experiences of the Sunshine Act.Susan Chimonas,Nicholas J. DeVito &David J. Rothman -2017 -American Journal of Bioethics 17 (6):4-18.The Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires health care product manufacturers to report to the federal government payments more than $10 to physicians. Bringing unprecedented transparency to medicine, PPSA holds great potential for enabling medical stakeholders to manage conflicts of interest and build patient trust—crucial responsibilities of medical professionalism. The authors conducted six focus groups with 42 physicians in Chicago, IL, San Francisco, CA, and Washington, DC, to explore attitudes and experiences around PPSA. Participants valued the concept of transparency but were (...) wary of the law's design and consequences. They downplayed PPSA's potential and felt it undermined public trust. Showing broad unawareness of COI, they dismissed the notion of industry influence and welcomed company “perks.” Misapprehensions may leave physicians unprepared to advance the opportunities PPSA holds for professionalism. The authors offer recommendations for government and medicine to improve physicians' and other stakeholders' understandings and use of the data. (shrink)

- Trust is not enough: bringing human rights to medicine.David J. Rothman -2006 - New York: New York Review Books. Edited by Sheila M. Rothman.Addresses the issues at the heart of international medicine and social responsibility. A number of international declarations have proclaimed that health care is a fundamental human right. But if we accept this broad commitment, how should we concretely define the state’s responsibility for the health of its citizens? Although there is growing debate over this issue, there are few books for general readers that provide engaging accounts of critical incidents, practices, and ideas in the field of human rights, health care, (...) and medicine. Included in the book are case studies of such issues as AIDS among orphans in Romania, organ trafficking, prison conditions, health care rationing, medical research in the third world, and South Africa’s constitutionally guaranteed right of access to health care. It uses these topics to address themes of protection of vulnerable populations, equity and fairness in delivering competent medical care, informed consent and the free flow of information, and state responsibility for ensuring physical, mental, and social well-being.

- The Single Disease Hospital: Why Tuberculosis Justifies a Departure That AIDS Does Not.David J. Rothman -1993 -Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 21 (3-4):296-302.Although HIV disease has set a new model for resolving the tensions between civil liberties and public health interests, with an unprecedented commitment to individual privacy and autonomy, the resurgence of tuberculosis has sparked new and troublesome concerns. One particularly intense controversy has emerged around the value and appropriateness of single disease hospitals. In HIV disease, the single hospital turns out to be an altogether unsuitable and unnecessary innovation. In the instance of tuberculosis, however, it appears to have a critical (...) and legitimate role, particularly for involuntary commitment of patients who have been non-compliant with treatment regimens. To be sure, that role must be carefully circumscribed and the facilities themselves closely monitored. But a hospital dedicated to tuberculosis now occupies a central place in public policy that is not to be found for HIV disease. What considerations promote this difference, and how a single disease hospital for tuberculosis may avoid the pitfalls that make it so inapposite for HIV, are the two questions this essay will be exploring.

- The Origins and Consequences of Patient Autonomy: A 25-Year Retrospective. [REVIEW]David J. Rothman -2001 -Health Care Analysis 9 (3):255-264.This essay explores the evolution of the tension between the principles of autonomy and beneficence in American health care over the past several decades. In retrospect it is clear that the social movements of the 1960s and 70s set the tone and the goals for the emergence of a new emphasis on patient autonomy. Indeed, the impact of civil liberties-minded lawyers on the promotion of a commitment to autonomy is far more vital than the term “bioethics” commonly suggests. Tracing the (...) impact of this principle on clinical encounters over the past 25 years makes apparent that consumers have extended their influence over a wide range of treatment decisions. This influence is now being reinforced by an extraordinary information revolution, which includes the computer, the web, the dot.coms, the search engines, and such novel practices as Direct-to-Consumer advertising by pharmaceutical companies. The impact of these developments may be seen in such diverse issues as physician-assisted suicide and the failure of national health insurance initiatives. (shrink)
