Decision making through the Lens of Fidelity: Ethical Dilemma

Abstract

Health care leaders are the key persons in an organization that uphold the reputation of an organization by providing ethical practices. The success of health care organization depends upon the quality of care that is provided to patients and community, the failure to do so would decrease the organization’s ability to meet its mission. Concealing the malpractice to prevent the employees from any penalty can cause severe consequences in future. Therefore nursing team leader should report the error and punishment should be given so that quality department considers the importance of reporting incidents. Quality department should arrange workshops and should appreciate the reporting of error so that every employee would report error to minimize the malpractice. Whistle blowing culture should be introduced and written policies should be implemented to provide high quality care.
