What are the objectives of workers compensation laws
Workers compensation laws are laws for workers and they are implemented by the government to prevent any form of ill treatment by the employing bodies. These laws aim to achieve protection of employees. These laws do not cover military officers. The laws entail insurance programs that are meant to offer compensation to employees if injured in the course of their duty. The laws also cover cases whereby the employee dies in line of duty (Chaikind 2004).
There are various objectives of these laws. This includes the need to provide direct medical and rehabilitation benefits to workers who are injured or suffer illnesses attributable to the nature of their job. Secondly the employee is assured of immediate medical attention once he or she is injured. Thirdly the employer-employee interest in the work place is promoted. Fourth the laws provide a single remedy that reduces the amount of court litigation where cases of personal injury are handled before they are taken to court. This minimizes the fees that lawyers are paid to handle employee compensation related issues. It further enhances in-depth investigation on causes of accidents and solutions to reduce accidents (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman 2007).
Workers compensation laws create a situation whereby the employer has various obligations that must be observed. The employer is supposed to contract insurance cover for the employees. Failure to observe the said obligation leads to penalties. The penalties include fines criminal prosecution and personal liability to the employer when an employee is injured (Chaikind 2004).
Claims under workers compensation are processed by the employer. The employer under workers compensation has a duty to observe confidentiality of the reports that he or she handles. The processing of personal injuries by the employee requires offering confidential details to the employer and this is not supposed to be exposed to third parties. This confidentiality can be enhanced by ensuring that all claim processing documents are in safe custody (Chaikind 2004).
2-What are the components of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996?
The HIPAA of 1996 has various components. This includes a set standard of electronic transmission that enhances free transactions of both administrative and financial nature. In addition health care identifiers for employers are also incorporated in the health care plans. Lastly the Act entails privacy and security standards geared towards providing confidentiality and integrity of health information that reaches the hands of employers. There are mandatory requirements set out in contracts that are mainly meant to protect the privacy of employees. The mentioned regulations are implemented by government agencies. Any breach on the said regulations is highly punishable.
The penalties imposed on employers for non compliance are extremely hefty for employers under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The legislation imposes heavy civil and criminal regulations for any form of non compliance. The United States Department of Justice enhances the implementation of the said penalties. The said Act tends to protect the employee more than the employer and the legislations are silent on the employers rights. It is unfair for the legislation to be one sided since employers are also entitled to similar protection of the law (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman 2007).
3-What legal considerations must be made as you design your employee testing policies
In designing employees testing policies there are many legal requirements that are supposed to be observed. The general information that covers wages discrimination and the termination of employment is very essential to understand. This requires a clear knowledge of what an employee in such a situation is supposed to do and what he or she should not do. The legal issues related to hiring contracts and importantly workers compensation laws. The time that an employee should work and regulations are based on the information of the employee in a situation whereby compensation claims are made. Maintaining of integrity when dealing with such information is emphasized and the laws governing such conduct should be considered (Chaikind 2004).
A streamlined health identifier is also necessary for a reliable testing policy program. These regulations ensure that administrative processes are accurate and costs associated with treating the employees are cut. The relationship between the policy designed and its working is based on the fact the information offered ought to be accurate. Any testing program based on clear information guidelines on health serves the employer in catering for anticipated incidents. The test policy must all material times be non discriminatory whereby the policies identified cut across all employees or potential employees. The rules that are to operate at a given time may require that employees be subjected to the test. The implementation of the Workers Compensation laws is very important in establishing the validity of a certain policy (Chaikind 2004).
In designing the policy a prudent ought to ensure that the legislations for the protection of the employer and the employee are taken into consideration. An insurance cover for any uncertainties that may occur in the future is a very essential step (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman 2007).

CASE STUDY SCENARIO
Bruce is a 69 year old retired gentleman. He lives at home with his wife Betty and together they have three adult children. Bruce is a Vietnam veteran and as a consequence of his active duty during the war he has developed severe post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. He suffers with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia but has repeatedly declined any treatment for any of these conditions. Bruce also has a lump on the right underside of his chin that is about the size of a golf ball. Bruces wife reports that this lump had been present for many months but despite the fact that it has turned into an open wound with an offensive exudate Bruce had refuses to seek treatment for it.
In recent weeks Bruce has developed symptoms suggestive of an infective illness. He has complained of generalised malaise muscle aches and pains and an elevated temperature with occasional rigors. Despite the best efforts of Betty and the children Bruce has refused to seek medical attention for these symptoms even as his condition deteriorated.Eventually Bruce became so weak and dehydrated that he was no longer able to refuse Bettys efforts to have him see a doctor; with the assistance of their children Betty manoeuvred him into the car and took him to hospital. On admission to the hospital Bruce was noted to be hypotensive tachycardic and febrile. His level of consciousness fluctuated and was often only minimally responsive. Concerned that he may not be able to adequately protect his airway Bruce was transferred to the high dependency unit where he could be closely monitored. Bruce was diagnosed with septicaemia resulting from the open wound under his chin.
After a series of investigations it was determined that the infected lump under Bruces chin was a malignant tumour. The team caring for Bruce formed the opinion that surgery to remove the tumour was the most appropriate course of action. The surgeon who was to perform the operation sought Bruces consent for the operation. Bruces fluctuating level of consciousness made this quite difficult although in a moment of lucidity he clearly stated I dont want any operations Id rather die. Shortly after this with Bettys consent the surgery went ahead and the entire tumour was successfully removed. Bruces post-operative recovery was relatively uneventful and his sepsis resolved. However he was left with a very large and disfiguring scar and some ongoing difficulties with swallowing. When he was eventually discharged home Bruce became increasingly angry that he had been operated on without his consent. Bruce now wishes to sue the surgeon who performed the operation.Criteria ExcellentVery goodSoundPoorVery poorIdentifies and Discusses Relevant Legal Issues40 marks 40-33 32-25 24-16 15-8 7-0Correctly identifies the main legal issue in the scenario.Correctly identifies who could bring an action and what type of action that would be.Correctly identifies all of the elements that need to be proved for the action to be successful.Correctly describes the standard of proof that would apply and who has the burden of proof.Correctly describes all possible defences that could be raised and who would raise them.Demonstrates an excellent understanding of possible outcomes that could eventuate.Identifies a relevant legal issue in the scenarioIdentifies who could bring an action and what type of action that would be.Identifies the elements that need to be proved for the action to be successful.Describes the standard of proof and who has the burden of proof.Describes any possible defences that could be raised and who would raise them.Demonstrates a good understanding of possible outcomes that could eventuate.

EXAMPLE CASE STUDY
INTRODUCTION
Sterilisation procedures for intellectually disabled young girls occupies a perplexing position in the Australian legal landscape (Naik 2012a). Regulated rather than prohibited procedures for consent of sterilisation are open to interpretation with conflicts arising between medical and legal outcomes across all states (Parker 2013). Sterilisation involves a permanent irreversible procedure rendering reproduction futile (Brady and Grover 1997). This case study will identify legal issues including the notion of consent and ethical issues encompassing the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights in the case of Re Angela [2010] 43 Fam LR 98. Key stakeholders will be identified including parents medical practitioners Queensland Health Family Law Courts and Guardianship Tribunals to determine if breaches of human rights and the law have been made.
LEGAL ISSUES
Within Australia consent is required prior to commencement of medical procedures (Brady and Grover 1997). Consent can be implied verbal or written however it is only valid when given freely and voluntarily having received information in broad terms and the person has legal capacity to make decisions specific to the procedure being undertaken (Forrester and Griffiths 2011). Following a seminal High Court decision in Secretary Department of Health and Community Services (NT) v JWB and SMB (Marions Case) (1992) 175 CLR 218 the notion of consent for minors is determined by satisfying one of three procedural pathways (Chapter 5A Guardianship and Administrations Act 2000). The first pathway identifies that children must satisfy the notion of comprehension and understanding referred to as Gillick competence (Naik 2012a). Gillick competence is achieved when a child possesses the emotional and cognitive ability to make decisions autonomously regarding the sterilisation procedure and is subsequently able to provide informed consent prior to the commencement (Forrester and Griffiths 2011).In Re Angela (2010) Justice Cronin determined Angela was Gillick incompetent therefore unable to provide valid consent for sterilisation given her emotional immaturity and inability to communicate resulting from her intellectual disability. Without Angela possessing Gillick competence the proposed sterilisation procedure falls within the parental power to consent (Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)) giving parents authority to act in the childs benefit for therapeutic sterilisations (Marions Case 1992). Therapeutic sterilisations are described where permanent infertility is a by-product of surgery to treat malfunction or disease or a result of surgery performed to cure a disease or correct some malfunction (Naik 2012a). The Guardianship and Administrations Act 2000 (QLD) states that sterilisation does not include health care [s80B (2)] creating a division between therapeutic and non therapeutic procedures and the courts restriction of these terms.
Sterilisation procedures for menstrual management to treat epilepsy are deemed non therapeutic creating a legal issue in Re Angela as the procedure falls outside parental powers of consent (Naik 2012a). The removal of parental powers is further supported in P v P (1995) 126 FLR 245; 19 Fam LR 1 whereby the High Court reaffirmed the decision in Marions Case confirming the child was not suffering from any malfunction or disease therefore the treatment was outside parental power to consent and the decision rests with the court. Application to the Family Law Court (FCA) under Section 67ZC or the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) is the final pathway for lawful sterilisation in the absence of Gillick competence or parental powers to consent. This provides the court with jurisdiction to make orders in relation to childrens welfare when satisfied that the procedure is in the best interests of the child (Guardianship and Administrations Act 2000 (QLD) s.80C s.80D).In Re Angela the FCA approved the application for sterilisation upon satisfying the best interest test with Justice Cronin acknowledging that a fundamental consideration is.the risks to Angelas life as well as her general well being and as a last resort given the exploration of all other available options as testified by her treating specialist (Re Angela 2010).
APPLICABLE LAW
State legislation and common law govern sterilisation of intellectually disabled children (Brady and Grover 1997). Without uniform legislation across all states inconsistencies on how laws are interpreted and applied by medical and legal practitioners are present (Naik 2012b). Western Australia Northern Territory Victoria and Australian Capital Territory are governed solely by common law in line with the seminal High Court decision in Marions Case however in Queensland and the remaining states common law works simultaneously with state legislation (Naik 2012c). When sterilisation procedures are unauthorised and without valid consent surgical intervention is an offence under both civil and criminal law (Naik 2012a).
In the absence of valid consent civil law actions of trespass to person or criminal law actions of assault arise by either direct interference with another person or the intention to touch was present (Forrester and Griffiths 2011). In accordance to Marions Case sterilisations for menstrual management are non therapeutic with the onus of proof resting with the plaintiff being Angela or her parents on the balance of probabilities to cast doubt over the therapeutic nature of her sterilisation (Naik 2012a). The defendants including medical practitioners and/or Queensland Health are at risk of committing an offence. If successful financial penalties may arise due to the extent and irreversible nature of this procedure (Naik 2012a).
Without being authorised justified or excused under criminal law a sterilisation procedure without consent is assault (Criminal Code 1899 (QLD) s.245 s.246). The burden of proof for assault rests with the prosecution generally the State to demonstrate that the defendant is guilty in front of a jury beyond reasonable doubt before a conviction is made (Forrester and Griffiths 2011). Creating a situation where the medical practitioner acted bona fide but possibly contrary to the law in addition to the parents involvement in procuring the sterilisation creates an unlikely environment for proceedings under criminal assault (Naik 2012c). Furthermore outcomes of this nature are costly and highly unlikely (Naik 2012c) with the defence arguing that the assault was authorised as the health care should be carried out urgently to meet imminent risk to the patients life (Queensland Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 63 (1bii)) which is consistent with Justice Cronins judgement in Angelas case.
ETHICAL CONFLICTS
What is the distinction between morally and ethically appropriate procedures and the law when Angela has no capacity (Re Angela 2010) and no voice to protect her human rights and dignity? Conflicts arise from the interpretation of therapeutic and non therapeutic sterilisations and the best interest test adopted by the FCA (Marions Case 1992). Graham Innes Australias federal disability discrimination commissioner urged criminalisation for any practitioner conducting such procedures unless deemed necessary for life saving circumstances (Rise in sterilisations worries disability commissioner 2012). Furthermore there is a growing need for Australia to abide by International Human Rights principles as globally sterilisation procedures are a denial of basic human rights reproductive rights autonomy bodily integrity respect for human vulnerability and discrimination (Brady Briton and Grover 2001).
BIOETHICAL FRAMEWORK
Women with Disabilities Australia (WWDA) (2012) identified that sterilisation in absence of free and informed consent is violating Australias obligations under international law and breaches every international human rights treaty to which Australia is a party. The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (UDBEHR) (2006) provides the bioethical framework adopted by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) by endorsing rules that govern human rights and freedom of all individuals. Strict adherence by key stakeholders in Re Angela including parents medical practitioners Queensland Health and FCA are reviewed. In Re Angela human dignity and human rights as described in Article three (UBDEHR 2006) have been met as Angelas welfare and quality of life were fundamental in the FCA decision to grant her sterilisation (Re Angela 2010). The sterilisation procedure was recommended as a last resort to control her epilepsy during menstruation and as such Article four (UBDEHR 2006) has been adhered too in reducing harm to Angela in the future. Whilst Angela lacks autonomy to make decisions procedural pathways for consent have been followed and subsequent consent was provided by the FCA for her sterilisation (Re Angela 2010).
In support of Article five and seven (UDBEHR 2006) this ensures that special measures were taken to protect her rights and best interest where she lacked capacity to do so. However Article seven (a) (UDBEHR 2006) further specifies where the person lacks capacity they should be involved to the greatest extent possible in the procedure and subsequent withdrawal of consent if necessary. Angelas intellectual disability precludes such involvement; therefore a breach of this article is identified. Article eleven (UDBEHR 2006) identifies that no individual or group is discriminated against on any grounds in violations of human rights and freedom.
WWDA (2012) identifies this as a fundamental breach being perpetuated by the lack of prohibition in Australia resulting in continued discrimination of intellectually disabled young woman a response supported by Federal disability commissioner Graham Inness concern about the increasing number of sterilisation procedures for intellectually disabled girls (Rise in sterilisations worries disability commissioner 2012). Advocating for the rights of the child the United Nations Committee recommends equal opportunity regardless of intellectual disability for all persons and argued for the introduction of the but for test (Naik 2012c). This test is designed to exclude sterilisation procedures as not in the childs best interest but for the intellectual disability (Naik 2012c). Whilst the but for test is supported by ethics groups (Naik 2012c) the Full Court in P v P disagreed acknowledging the disability was central jurisdiction for sterilisation. With widespread disagreement between law and ethics coupled with Angelas inability to provide consent breaches of Articles seven (a) and eleven (UDBEHR 2006) are identified.
ADDRESSING BIOETHICAL ISSUES
To address these violations future debates submission to senate committees and governments must identify and take into account the human rights social cultural and economic issues that impact the decision to sterilise young girls with intellectual disabilities (Senate. Committee Affairs Committee & Aus.Senate. Standing Committee on Community Affairs 2013). Importantly legislation and education programs must be based on human rights principles upholding the rights of all women to bodily integrity and making informed choices about their reproductive life whilst holding Australia to account of their international human rights obligations (WWDA 2012). Comprehensive national law reforms will formalise protection in the best interests of intellectually disabled girls (Naik 2012c).
CONCLUSION
Sterilisation of intellectually disabled girls has occupied the legal landscape for over thirty years since Marions case with the efficacy of such procedures and debate regarding basic human rights to bodily integrity continuing. Without uniform national legislation the state based guidelines for sterilisation will be subject to misinterpretation at law. Coupled with the absence of Australias support for global prohibition of unlawful sterilisations debate from disability human rights and advocacy groups will remain. Angelas case further highlights the significance of this topic however with exception of Article seven (a) and eleven adherence in the most part to the UNESCO bioethical framework has been achieved and breaches under current law have not been made.ReferencesThe reference list from this piece of work has deliberately been removed.You must include a reference list (APA 6th Format) with your submitted case studyPlease seehttps://sites.google.com/a/griffith.edu.au/nursing-writing-and-referencing-guide/
