(USE THE TERMS USED IN CHAPTER 4-5 IN YOUR RESPONSE-TEXT UPLOADED) One of our goals is to Normalize ethical conflicts. This means understanding that such conflicts do happen and also realizing that such conflicts will happen to us. Students will respond to the following THREE QUESTIONS in 3 pages in complete sentences and using terms/concepts from the course. (TEXT UPLOADED) 1) In your own life, what types of ethical conflicts can you expect to face? This may be at work, in your personal life, or in school. It may also be a combination of these. (AT WORK-I AM RESPONSIBLE (Senior Vice President of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance) FOR OVERSIGHT OF PROVIDING HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY, I FACE ETHICAL CONFLICTS BASED ON THE RIGHT THING TO DO, LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, IN ADDITION TO FAMILY OPINIONS AND REQUESTS) 2) How do you currently attempt to address those ethical conflicts? Ignore, avoid, CONFRONT, etc. I ALWAYS CONFRONT AND ADDRESS ETHICAL CONFLICTS. I DON’T NORMALLY AVOID SINCE THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY, RESIDENTS, RELATIONSHIPS, ETC. I DO STRUGGLE SOMEWHAT WHEN I KNOW THE IMPACT IS GOING TO AFFECT SOMEONE I RESPECT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I ALWAYS PRIDE MYSELF IN MAKING GOOD ETHICAL DECISIONS BASED ON ALL THE FACTS. 3) In what ways could you more effectively address the ethical conflicts that you will have to face? THEN… 4) Think of those in positions of leadership in your life. Choose 2 people who have demonstrated ethical leadership characteristics. (1-OUR CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER-CMO, WHO IS A PHYSICIAN IS A TRANSPARENT, GENUINE INDIVIDUAL WITH AN ESTABLISHED REPUTATION OF ETHICAL MORALS AND ALWAYS CONDUCTS HIMSELF ACCORDINGLY. HE IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GERIATRIC POPULATION, HIS INTEGRITY AND HIGHLY REGARDING BY HIS PEERS. OUR CMO DOESN’T HESITATE TO MAKE DECISIONS, HE PRACTICES HIS ETHICAL BELIEFS REGARDLESS OF HOW OTHERS MAY FEEL ABOUT HIS DECISION AS IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO), (2-OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER-CEO IS RESPECTED FOR PROVING AFFORDABLE CARE TO THE ELDER POPULATION, HIS DEDICATED, COMPASSION AND GENEROSITY TO THOSE WHO SHARE HIS VISION. IN ADDITION HE RESPECTS THOSE WHO ARE LOYAL-DEDICATED. HE REFERS TO ME AS HIS CONSCIOUS, BECAUSE I PROVIDE HIM WITH A GENUINE HONEST APPROACH SO HE MAY MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH THE CEO’S DECISION, BUT WE TRUST THAT HE WILL ALWAYS MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR THE COMPANY AS AN OWNER AND OUR LEADER)
