Legal And Ethics Discussion

LEGAL AND ETHICS DISCUSSION

Health executives have a code of ethics and policy statements which guide their behavior.  Examine one of the policy statements provided by ACHE.org and comment on how this code may differ in nature than the health care provider codes. Be specific. Do you see any ethical issues emerging out of health care reform yet are not consider in the ACHE documents? Peers are expected to demonstrate critical thinking in their questions related to the classmates’ descriptions. See Discussion Expectations and Grading for rules on discussions.
