In a health care organization, it is important that the organization’s mission, philosophies, and ethics are followed through properly. . With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is no different. . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “mission is to protect people’s health and to support the quality of life in humans by prevention and control of diseases, injuries, and disabilities” (About CDC, 2010, page or paragraph number with quotes). With the organization's mission, philosophies, and ethics it is important that everyone’s health is protected and proper prevention of diseases, illnesses, and disabilities are given to the public in a timely manner. In this paper, the members of Team A will “describe what are the organization’s goals, how are they tied to its ethical principles, and the role and importance of the corporation’s ethical values” (University of Phoenix, 2012, Week Three Supplement).

The messaging in both the Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) and Canada’s Health Informatics Association (COACH) Code of Ethics are very similar. They both discuss prioritizing privacy and security, set an expectation of maintaining a professional and collegial work ethic, encourage the continuing of education and building of one's knowledge base and both refer to a focus on the awareness of future developments/advancements within the industry. My initial preference was the CHIMA Code of Ethics as I preferred the phrasing and third person approach, however, upon further review I noticed that CHIMA’s used the word ‘strive’ instead of COACH’s approach of ‘I will’. This to me seems to have less impact then the COACH counterpart.

The major areas of my values and ethics can be summarized in six words: excellence, personal integrity, responsibility, ambition, accountability, and determination.

Responsibility is important to me as it enables me to identify the part I need to play in my family, at the workplace, and in the community. Lastly, ambition and determination are applicable in providing me with the momentum needed to ensure that all my initiatives and tasks are done to completion.
Module two deals with external influences in healthcare administration and the conflicts that may cause lack of growth in the organization.

Do we need Codes of Ethics? Most professions have their own Code of Ethics, so they must have some importance. Some people believe ethics do not need to be written down, but I think differently. The Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health article states, “ A code of ethics thus serves as a goal to guide public health institutions and practitioners and as a standard to which they can be held accountable.” Ethics are important and we all have them, but they are not all the same, so writing them down will create a guideline for people to follow. Codes of Ethics are necessary to be known and available to the public. We should be able to know what to expect and how we should be treated. I agree with the
