Product Description
A timely guide that provides practical help for establishing effective, accountable governance within an ethical framework.
Ethical Governance in Health Care helps boards of trustees and CEOs navigate their leadership roles in response to the changing legal, moral, and ethical climate in health care organizations. 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. 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.
Ethical Governance focuses on responding to issues (e.g., conflicts of interest) that challenge most organizations. It provides guidance so actual and perceived ethical conflicts can be managed so they do not contribute to suspicion and lack of trust. It is filled with contemporary case studies that explore how boards might respond to moral challenges where societal expectations may differ from an institution s legal, clinical, or business decisions.
