Greetings,
Competencies guarantee that the right people at the right level of the corporation is ready to accomplish optimal performance outcomes. The American Hospital Association state that competencies are a combination of “knowledge, skills, personal characteristics, and individual and social behaviors needed for an individual to perform a job.”
As a professional register nurse, and ICU manager, this theory of competencies values is indispensable, it will allow me to have a healthier relationship with the ICU team members and a better understanding of their needs. Cooperation and organizational values will improve within team members, so forth everyone that is part of the team will be able to uphold high ethical standards, and comply with the Vision and Mission of the organization.
Ethical Issues
HIPAA law's main goal is to make available access to medical health insurance, control scam, and misuse, and decrease organizational expenses, it also focusses on the safety and confidentiality of health information while identifying and avoiding errors and threats due to malicious or criminal actions. Protected Health Information (PHI) is any information related to patient healthcare, delivery of care, billing, or any private data that is created while the patient is admitted to a medical institution. HIPAA Privacy Rule recommends Federal safeties for private healthcare data held by organizational entities and offers patients a variety of privileges concerning their personal information. (Kartman, 2018).
Having an understanding of the ethical requirements and being conscious of the HIPAA laws and regulations will help me promote the compliance of information privacy, ensure confidentiality and secure medical information of all the patients. Will ensure that every employee will observe, defends, and maintain the privacy, truthfulness, and accessibility of PHI, and to identified and avoid mistakes and threats due to malicious or criminal actions.
