Administration Ethics: Executive Decisions in Canadian Healthcare

by Joseph Byrne

Administration Ethics explores the foundations, framework, and practice of ethical decision making in healthcare administration and considers the Healthcare Administrator's role in ethical management and health policy development. Throughout the text, Joseph Byrne demonstrates the relationship between the foundational concepts of ethics theory, principles, codes, and rights. He positions each concept as a step in the Four-Stage Decision Model to assist students as they evaluate - and later participate in - exceptionally complex ethical decision making. The practical, case-based structure will appeal to graduate and upper-level graduate students in Health Administration, Health Studies, and health-related Philosophy programs as well as healthcare professionals involved in administration and management, or working within policy and health ethics committees. Features: each chapter contains critical thinking questions the last chapter consists of nine different case studies involving ethical dilemmas: the first three are fully analyzed for illustrative purposes; the second three are afforded preliminary analysis, allowing the reader to determine the final decision; and the last three cases are unanalyzed, providing the reader an opportunity to complete a full case review
