Description
The everyday ethical dilemmas encountered by healthcare executives are the focus of this unique book. Original text, selected readings, & case studies probe the fundamental reality of professional power. Ten case studies illustrate the ordinary challenges of modern healthcare ethics, such as balancing institutional efficiency & responsive patient care, obtaining informed consent in a high-stress situation, & handling impaired providers. "[This book] probes the less sensational but more pervasive issues that underscore healthcare. It is thoughtfully & provocatively presented - not because it shocks you with 'what ifs,' but because it discreetly presents what is."-Books in Brief.
