WK 3 Health Law, Ethics, and Policy

In Weeks 1 and 2, you 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.
