What did you learn about your own ethical decision making from the self-assessments? After conducting the ethical self-assessment it can be said that I learned a large amount of valuable information and lessons from taking this measurement of my decision making skills on the ACHE web address. I discovered that even though I have my own set of moral principles and make my own decisions; there are still those decisions that come to play where assistance is needed in making those final decisions. It is easier to make a decision for ones’ self than to make a decision for others, especially when a decision can have huge consequences on someone else’s life.
What is the effect of professional ACHE standards on your ethical decision making? I believe by having a set of standards established by the American College of Healthcare Executives set forth in their Code of Ethics helps to assist with very controversial and ethical decision making. Without some type of standards being set for executives in regards to their decision making; they would be making decisions everywhere according to their own moral upbringing or what they felt is morally correct. Therefore, this could bring about enormous types of controversy because what one person feels is ethically or morally correct may not be what another person feels is right. Therefore, the result of having professional ACHE standards written will help me with hard moral decision making.
How do your individual ethics influence your decision making? Every individual is influenced by their own upbringing or what their family teaches him or her. Therefore, from their lifestyles decisions cannot help but to promote with persuasion in ones’ views. There are five major influences that consist of family influences, religious beliefs, culture, experience, and personal reflection.
