HEALTH LAW AND ETHICS - Essay Example

18 September Response As an administrator or a manager, I can introduce a system based on rewards and penalties in which the employees would be encouraged to report any issues that are affecting the workplace in a negative way to me. The reported issue will be investigated by a task force designed by me. If the reported issue is true, the reporter gets a reward, and if it turns out to be false, then the reporter gets a penalty. This reward and penalty based system provides the employees with a wonderful opportunity to earn a reward by doing something as simple as reporting an issue but at the same time, warns them that false reporting and exaggeration can incur them loss, so that a dual-action is developed to make them honest in their reporting of the way things are going in the workplace.

Hospitals can outsource the services when tough ethical decisions about resource allocation have to be made. Outsourcing is suitable particularly in the cases of ethical dilemma e.g. when there are two patients needing immediate attention of the doctor simultaneously. Another way is to always keep certain resources ready for employment on immediate basis. For example, one of the off-duty nurses can be called upon work because of shortage of nurses at a certain time but the nurse must be compensated for the unscheduled call of duty.

When these options are not available, then the hospital should assess which of the subjects is in a greater need of resource allocation, and the resources must be allocated accordingly.
