Beyond Compliance Hardcover, 264 pages
Business Ethics in Healthcare is an examination of a wide range of practical ethical issues facing conscientious healthcare managers. These discussions explore the implications of applying ethical standards and reasoning to the organization's responsibilities as care providers, as employers, as as citizens of the community. Business Ethics in Healthcare starts with the understanding that management is already addressing the need to ensure that the organization is in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This is just the start in addressing business ethics issues in healthcare organizations. As providers of high quality patient care with limited resources, management needs to be able to distinguish between the right way and the wrong way of taking cost into consideration when making decisions about patient care practices. As employers, management needs to be able to employ good criteria for determining wages and salaries. Management needs to know what it means to make fair decisions about downsizing. Management needs to know how to respond most appropriately to union organizing efforts and to employee strikes. The healthcare organization is a community service organization. As such it has particular responsibilities to the community. How it advertises, how it disposes of medical waste, the types of mergers it enters into - these are questions of potential major impact on the community. Business Ethics in Healthcare offers perspectives that can assist healthcare management achieve the highest ethical standards as they face these and other issues. Leonard J.
