...Administrative Ethics Kimberly Fuentes HCS/335 May 4, 2015 Christine Singel Administrative Ethics Portable digital devices, such as smart phones, tablets, and netbooks, now permeate our society. These devices allow substantial efficiencies in access to and communication of information by health professionals. The efficiencies and conveniences of mobile communication are even more astonishing in that they have become accepted and expected aspects of everyday life within a very brief time period (Taube, 2013). In today’s world a high percentage of physicians carry some mode of mobile communication that enables them to care for their patients when away from their physical practice. As mobile devices have developed, we now have the ability to write and receive emails, dictation, filming, photographing, and image sharing available to most smart phone users. All of these features drastically increase the chance that a patient’s privacy could be breached. If a physician’s mobile device is lost or stolen there is a substantially higher risk of disclosure of a large volume of detailed, identifiable treatment and personal contact information for a wide range of the physician’s patients. Ethical and legal issues Mobile devices are particularly vulnerable to loss and theft because of their small size and portability. The most common form of security breach is the theft of a cell phone. In addition, clinicians are far more likely to use their own personal mobile devices, rather...

...Ethics Case Study Name HCS/335 Date Professor Ethics Case Study Today’s healthcare professionals are immersed in an ever-changing environment. The advent of managed care, a variety of medical practice arrangements, and a multitude of healthcare specialty areas have resulted in the continual need to understand healthcare law. Unfortunately, due to the rise of malpractice suits, many physicians are protecting themselves by ordering multiple testing procedures, some of which might not be needed. In addition, many patients no longer want older, more conservative approaches to testing and diagnosis – and these newer tests are more expensive. All healthcare professionals need to pay attention to the wishes of their patients. And in the circumstances where the patients has given family members or others authority to make a healthcare decision on their behalf, healthcare professionals must respect the patient’s wishes. They also should use care not to place their own opinions ahead of the decisions of physicians or other healthcare professionals made in consultation with the patient. As with the case of Jerry McCall, his job is an Office Assistant and Medical assistants perform administrative and clinical tasks to keep the offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other health practitioners running smoothly. The duties of medical assistants vary from office to office, depending on the location and size of the practice and the practitioner's specialty. In small...

...Ethics Issues Law Enforcement Stephanie L. Howe, Brenda Deyo, Bergette Shepherd, Martis Mcfadden CJA/324 April 1, 2013 Donal Hardin Ethics Issues Law enforcement men and women put their lives on the line to serve and protect the communities that they live in but it is when one or two of those make a bad decision that can quickly change the perspective of society. This perspective of trust, respect, safety and integrity can be changed in a short time by a few unethical choices and to rebuild that perspective can take many years. This is a sad world that we live in when we cannot trust the people that have sworn to serve and protect our communities to make the right decisions when it comes to their duties. There are so many real-life examples that show police misconduct, because bad things always make front page but all the good that they do is overlooked. This case was very strange to me, officer from Oakland County, Michigan knows what the departments are capable of doing and still downloads and shares child pornography on his home computer (WDIV Detroit, 2013) . He was fired in January 2012 after the Flint internet crime against children task force traced back through share sites led them back to this officers computer. This officer was finally in court and was ordered to attend sex-addict anonymous, as well as one year in prison and five years probation. This next case is common place in Michigan, but a decorated officer was arrested for drunk driving, he was...

In short, the environment has to be positive and the job has to be a good fit.

...Stakeholders, Shareholders and Wealth Maximization V. Sivarama Krishnan, University of Central Oklahoma ABSTRACT This paper attempts reconciliation between the two somewhat extreme views espoused by the shareholder wealth maximization paradigm and the stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory challenges the basic premise built into corporate finance theory, teaching and practice. Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be shareholder wealth value maximization. Extant theoretical and empirical research in financial economics also generally accept shareholder wealth maximization as the normative and ideal goal on which all business decisions should be based. This paradigm assumes that there are no externalities and all the participants engaged in transactions with the firm are voluntary players competing in free, fair and competitive markets. A very different view is offered by what is loosely called stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory posits that the focus on shareholders and firm value is misplaced and managers should be concerned with all stakeholders of the firm. The paper attempts to address what is felt as a lack of dialogue between the two camps. INTRODUCTION Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice at least in the US are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be the maximization...
