Assignment: Role Play Real-life Perspectives
The following are three real-life situations. You are going to select ONE of the scenarios and write a role-play, in which you identify and analyze the legal and ethical issues associated with each of the stakeholders (players):
1 Two nurses complain to the organization's chief executive officer (CEO) that a doctor has harassed them. They refuse to put their complaint in writing. Roles in this scenario include:
? CEO
? Medical Director
? Doctor
2 Caregiver refuses to participate in an abortion procedure due to religious beliefs. It is not certain whether the patient's health will be compromised without this procedure. Roles in this scenario include:
? Caregiver
? Administrator
? Patient
3 Billing department manager encourages billing clerks to improperly code medical claims to overbill federal government payors, like Medicare and Medicaid. Roles in this scenario include:
? Clerk
? Legal Counsel
? Financial Officer (CFO)
For your analysis, include the following:
1 Provide a brief summary of the scenario that identifies one potential consequence of the dilemma on the public's trust or mistrust of the medical professionals and healthcare delivery, in general.
2 Describe the position of each of the three stakeholders in the scenario you chose. Be sure that you explain their role and responsibilities from a professional ethics perspective.
3 Clearly identify and describe a potential Tort (legal claim) or breach of professional responsibility that might be raised in a lawsuit associated with each stakeholder's actions or inactions, or a claim that might be raised by the stakeholder. Be sure to provide a brief explanation of why you believe a specific law or policy applies.
For example, if there is a breach of contract, briefly explain why you think so. If there is a case of fraud, briefly explain the elements that must be demonstrated, if there specific policy or legal regulation at issue, briefly explain what it is and why it applies.
