Ethical Decision Making and Impacts

What is our company's mission?

a. Make money

b. Provide quality and ethical care

c. Make good decisions

A male patient states that males make him uncomfortable and that he would like to only be seen by female doctors and nurses. What is the ethical decision to make in this case?

"Ethical decision-making (EDM) in an organizational context is a difficult process. Ethical issues often involve uncertain information and unclear guidelines, limiting utility of purely rational approaches to EDM (Sonenshein, 2007). The availability of multiple action pathways with different advantages/drawbacks across stakeholders further complicates EDM" (Johnson & Connelly, 2016)

True or False:

Ethical issues rarely occur in the healthcare field.

Organization Goals

The mission of this organization is to provide quality and ethical service to all patients with respect to their minds, bodies, and divine belief.

Ethics and Patient Care

Objectives

To align with our mission, each employee should act ethically by:

1. Provide care with compassion

2. Treat all employees and patients with respect

3. Act in a public spirit

4. Spend resources wisely

(Winkler & Cruen, 2005)

  • Be able to describe what a code of ethics is
  • To understand why a code of ethics is needed
  • To understand who must abide by the code of ethics
  • To understand ethical decision making
  • To know when to contact a person of higher authority

Healthcare organizations often face ethical dilemmas (Winkler & Cruen, 2005).

Medical ethics evolved to guide decision making that is in the best interest of the patient without giving due consideration to the organizational context in which this decision making takes place (Winkler & Cruen, 2005).

What is ethics and why is it important?

Medical ethics is, in its simplest form, a set of principles that guides practitioners in making informed choices about the delivery of medical care (Matthews & Matthews, 2015).

Matthews & Matthews (2015) notes that as healthcare provides it is our duty to provide the best possible care to patients
