The ethical dimensions of managing health services are daunting. The newest edition of Ethics in Health Services Management provides the principles to educate students and guide practitioners as they strive to make the “right” decision when ethical problems arise. This highly regarded volume teaches managers how to recognize and respond confidently to the challenges of ethics and conduct in health services management.
Offering a solid foundation for effectively identifying and solving ethical problems, this book objectively examines teh difficult choices and ethical implications raised as managers operationalize the principles of respect for persons, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. It examines the role of the organization’s culture and its values, mission, and vision. Specific attention is given to the importance of the manager’s personal ethic, various types of specialized ethics committees, and the role of professional codes of ethics.
Further, the author thoughtfully explores numerous topics that affect contemporary health services organizations, including
-
-
Moral frameworks to apply to one’s personal ethic -
-

and much more -

Ethics in Health Services Management will educate and inform those who would be leaders in health services organizations.
