Ethical Issues In Healthcare Organizations

Yes, I feel as though it would be, because it sets up specific disciplines for the individuals that work there giving them an insight as to what rules and regulations that the organization expects from all their workers. Behaving ethically is at the heart of what it means to be a professional; it distinguishes professionals from others in the marketplace. Although, at times these professional standards cannot always be enforced there for healthcare organizations have put in place what is known as Healthcare Organizational Ombuds. This way it supports a patient’s safety by creating a channel through which employees at all levels can discuss problems that involve issues such as medical errors and maintain self-determination in how to address

these issues (Patterson, L.M.,2012).
Having this system put in place within one’s organization allows workers to surface and report medical errors to find ways to alleviate the systematic weaknesses that promote them, because the workers can maintain viability which is rare (Patterson, L.M.,2012). If there is a possibility that they are not adhering to the standards that they are given I feel as though every supervisor within those specific departments should make it a point to drop in without notice and ask patients how they are being treated by the workers and if they have any concerns.
