Topic > Case Study: Let It Pour: My First Assignment as…

SummaryThis study relates to a case conducted at Faith Community Hospital to assess issues due to issues with their mission statement and manner in which it is interpreted. According to the CEO of Faith Community Hospital, very few members and partners appear to be following the mission statement. There are problems with organizational processes, ethical issues and communication systems. Many staff members operate as individuals and not as a collective unit based on their values. A moment of distraction can lead to a tragic outcome. Introduction Faith Community Hospital, an organization whose mission is to promote the health and well-being of people in communities. They serve through the scope of services provided in collaboration with partners who share the same vision and values. While the mission statement is the model everyone should follow, not everyone thinks the same way on every issue. All of us might face a similar situation at some point in time, but the end result might be different for each individual because we all have different values ​​and beliefs. There are many differences between ethics, laws, beliefs and oaths that influence decisions from patients to staff members. Some patients refuse to take advantage of medical services and there are staff members who refuse to provide certain services because of these value lines. Some staff members care so much about patients that they sometimes take radical positions to respond to their well-being. In these situations, medical intervention may conflict with religious beliefs or personal moral convictions. Hospital pharmacists are even taking on positions they feel are important, such as filling uninsured prescriptions while accepting payment in installments. ICU staff members initiated do-not-resuscitate procedures without written orders. Doctors put patients first according to various interpretations. In "right to die" situations doctors seem to be too involved in compassion and passions with their patients. We need to stay focused on what our jobs are and what we are promoting, which is providing health care and related services to community members. Counselors also treat some of their clients without the authorization of the values ​​and beliefs they hold. On the other hand, there are some hospital staff who refuse to serve patients unless they have confirmed insurance coverage. If a patient dies due to unauthorized decisions, this can cause an outcry in the media and among current or future patients in the community.
