Description
How do healthcare professionals balance the business model of healthcare and the needs of their patients so that all parties benefit? Healthcare providers can utilize an ethical approach as a way of dissecting complex scenarios where they feel torn between the best interests of their patients and that of their employers. Using normative ethics, individuals and teams can establish practice guidelines to help them navigate dilemmas while still adhering to their professional code of ethics and role fidelity. This paper uses a case scenario to evaluate and apply these principles with a real-world example.
