This book helps you and your health care organization restore the high ethical values and public confidence health care institutions have traditionally enjoyed. Ethical Governance guides boards to actively define their roles, functions, power, and processes. It is organized in easy-to-read chapters with suggestions on how to create decision-making environments and processes that help avoid ethical conflicts. The book presents an overview of the major frameworks for ethical analysis so board members will be able to explain and justify the appropriate frameworks when they confront moral and ethical dilemmas. “An effective guide for the development of boards, a useful orientation tool for new board members, and an invaluable resource for ongoing education and self-evaluation.“ Sr. Mary Roch Rocklage, RSM, Chair, Sponsor Council, Sisters of Mercy Health System, St. Louis, MO; Past Chairperson, Board of Trustees, AHA It defines the difference between the legal environment and a facility’s ethical climate and helps trustees translate their organization’s identity, values, and vision and reconcile past commitments with present plans and future actions. It provides practical direction on building and maintaining trust among the community, staff, vendors, public regulators, and accreditation agencies. It also details how the organizational community needs to understand the importance of moral choices and provides suggestions on "moral filter" self-awareness.
