MHCM 5300 - Healthcare Ethics and Corporate Accountability
Credit Hours: 3
Issues concerning the ethical, legal and social implications of advances in medical technology and clinical medicine are constant leadership challenges. From advances in transplantation to new legislation that provide healthcare access to underserved and vulnerable populations, professionals with advanced training in bioethical decision making are needed to address the ethical challenges of today and the evolving challenges of tomorrow. Major national and global public health challenges are introduced. The second half of this course examines key federal agencies (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Office of Inspector General, National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and DrugAdministration to name a few) as well as the activity of state and other regulatory organizations. It also examines current outcome measures that affect payment in various settings, selecting performance improvement topics as part of annual strategy, analysis of trends for intervention, staff re-training needed, compliance with policies, and building support for compliant behaviors from ground up. This course examines what information is typically collected, shared and or distributed publicly-and how that affects perception of quality at an organization.
With the advent of disclosure, roles and functions within a healthcare organization are examined in terms of ethics and corporate accountability.
