Assignment: Health Law, Ethics, And Policy
Read about the impact on an organization when it has a culture of hiding allegations of misconduct, failing to respond to complaints quickly or at all, and not addressing negligence or incompetence. As a healthcare executive, you want to avoid the potential loss of trust, erosion of consumer satisfaction, and lowering employee morale that results from a corporate culture that tolerates corruption.
You will write a memorandum to all department heads and other members of your leadership and management team explaining the steps you would like to establish to facilitate:
1. Safe reporting of incidents, adverse events, and near misses.
2. Transparent investigation processes.
3. A recognition system for champions of organizational excellence.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
