How the concept of “empowerment” can make you more effective in your dealings with other colleagues in the medical office. ANSWER: The concept of “Empowerment” can make you more effective in your dealings with other colleagues in the medical office by, allowing you to think for yourself and take control of your work while making others feel part of the whole team. Empowerment motivates employees to become more productive making it easier for one’s colleagues to do their own roles like anyone else. Summary of Empowerment: The ability to affirm one’s self is an act that involves many facets
There are some patients or employees with strong accents that can make it difficult for one to understand and may cause a misunderstanding between both parties. Not only do healthcare professionals use communication to provide service but also for financial planning of service, it is used to build a solid relationship between the patient, patients’ family, and the healthcare professionals. Working in such a diverse health facility all employees, volunteers, patients and family need to take time and educate themselves on other cultures because what you might do to others as a joke or just cause might offend or hurt others. All employees should respect the patients’ culture and try to work and communicate as thoroughly as possible to avoid offending their culture, moral, religion, and beliefs. Many individuals think that is immoral to not administer any type of pharmaceutical medication to a dying patient, but out of respect we healthcare professional respect their culture and provide as comfortable as possible according to their
Internal barriers are the culture of the hospital itself by supporting and atmosphere where short cuts and work around in order to complete tasks more quickly. The lack of accountability solidifies this internal barrier even more because regardless of what level of care that has been interviewed. I have witnessed in these interviews the phrase “that’s not my job” which is a clear disregard for the Nightingale Community Hospital’s
Sometimes, for medical employees, it is hard to maintain confidentiality when family members want to know about their loved ones. They can be awful demanding and hurtful when their heart is breaking over a seriously ill family member. But we must remember our duty is to the patient and what we can do is refer that mother, father, brother, sister, wife or husband to someone better equipped to deal with them. I read a statement once by the American Medical Association that states that no physician or medical staff should reveal any confidential communication or information without the express written consent of the patient unless required by law. To me that is pretty cut and dry….Glenn’s lips are sealed.

This is definitely unethical. When more than a minor medical issue arises, the ethical thing for the physician assistant to do is take the patient to a practical setting and take the normal course of actions (2013). Joe is breaking this by taking kits out of the practice area into his own home without consent of the physician or the facility as a whole. The guidelines go over the importance of not providing informal care, which is exactly what Joe is doing in this situation. He is not only informally treating and collecting specimen from his daughter, but he is also not documenting any of the treatments that he is doing.
Leaving a medical facility against a physician’s advice puts a patient at risk for untreated or incompletely treated medical issues, increases the need for subsequent readmission or visits to emergency departments and increases the risk of mortality. DAMA presents a dilemma not only to the attending physician but to the nursing staff caring for the patient. Ethically and legally, patients do have the right to agree to or retract consent for medical treatment; however the nursing management of DAMA is much more complicated and multi-faceted than the patient’s right to consent or dissent to treatment. Problems occur with the understanding of the different types of self-discharge from emergency departments, as well as how best to document such encounters and ultimately, how to improve upon current nursing
Administrative Ethics Jacquelyn Clemmer HCS/335 health Care Ethics and Social Responsibility August 29, 2011 Holly Martinez De Andino Administrative Ethics Every day companies and their employees are faced with decisions. Some of these decisions are easy to make but others are little more challenging. It is the hope that employees of these companies have high ethical standard to abide by and can make decisions that are ethically right for both parties involved. Health care organizations are often faced with something called “ethics gaps” that occur during the restructuring process, in which often what is good for the business is not particularly ethical. These gaps can typically be identified and corrected by careful analysis of
