Tools for Transforming Your Health Care Organization  ISBN: 1556483481 978-1556483486 AHA Press / Health Forum July 2007 (click button below for the best available price for this book)
A practical, research-based guide for strengthening workplace and personal ethics. Step-by-step explanations, case examples, and questionnaires help readers identify and manage the ethical drift to which health care management and staff can succumb under the daily pressure to do more with less. Recommended by the American Hospital Association, this guide provides diagnostic tools for achieving exceptional levels of organizational and personal integrity. This book provides leaders and employees effective and practical ways of dealing with situations when good ethics and values bend under the stresses of the health care delivery environment. It assists those who struggle to maintain a balance between personal values and organizational behaviors where small steps and decisions lead well-meaning individuals into ethical conflicts that undermine an organization’s viability and credibility. It is also about rekindling the passion for care that keep professionals committed to their work. Strengthening Ethical Wisdom recognizes the “mission vs. margin” compromise that many health care professionals feel and shows leaders how to create an organizational infrastructure in which ethical dilemmas can be readily identified, surfaced, and effectively managed. It shows professionals how to live their values more fully at work and enjoy a strengthened appreciation for ethical behavior. This book supports worker productivity, retention, and satisfaction, and patient safety, quality of care, and satisfaction as well as lessens the danger of losses by reducing incidents and exposure from unethical acts. Strengthening Ethical Wisdom provides research-based tools that assess where the organization and individuals stand in their relative strengths and weaknesses regarding everyday ethical decision making. It also covers actions needed to make corrections. It includes “vital sign” diagnostic tools (also accessible online) that help assess the strength of ethical pathways and presents ways to create needed change. The book defines what doing the “right thing” means for health care organizations and workers. It shows the linkage between ethical behavior and sustainable performance, and explores the negative dynamic of ethical erosion and the opposing, positive dynamic of ethical wisdom. It covers the ethical pathways through which an organization produces exceptional results by doing the right thing and discusses the disciplines (or practices) that are essential to the health of each of those pathways.
