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 COACH Ethical Principals first person approach made me feel more accountable as I read through each bullet point. The two differences I noted between the two documents was COACH’s commitment to “treat all persons equally and with respect and dignity [and that one will not] discriminate based on gender, race, culture, religion, political belief, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.” (2012) and to promote the same in others; while CHIMA only refers to “respect[ing] the dignity and worth of others” (2008) without mention of encouraging the same in fellow colleagues. The second difference noted was the lack of COACH’s acknowledgement or reference to their policies and procedures while CHIMA clearly states that it’s members must “abide by the policies and by-laws of the Canadian College of Health Information Management and activity support its strategic directions” (2008).

Another point that the provisions highlight is being the patient advocate, nurses are in the front line of patient care and they must protect their patients.

As nurses we need to respect the autonomy and allow for the patient to express their choices and concerns. We also need to provide them with support by giving them knowledge and understanding so they

The ACA Code of Ethics and the AACC Code of Ethics are both written for those involved in the field of counseling and helping others and are written with a central focus on the well being and protection of clients. The major difference leading to most other distinctions in these two codes is centered on the guiding principals and goals of each organization. The ACA code is written from a secular perspective with emphasis on human development and embracing diverse cultures, ideas, beliefs, and lifestyles while the AACC (2004) code is written from a biblical perspective with its primary goals being “to bring honor to Jesus Christ and his church, promote excellence in Christian Counseling, and bring unity to Christian counselors” (pg. 3).

The code of ethics cannot guarantee ethical behavior and it cannot solve every ethical issue (AHIMA, 2016). But it does set values, ethical principles and ethical guidelines, according to AHIMA. This reminds me of an ethics class I took last year and how I had to study it and learn to know it.

I would not change these guideline because it is a standard that all companies’ and organizations’ should live by.
