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