2 Ethics Policy Paper Strong leaders are able to navigate moral and ethical dilemmas. There are alot of resources, that are available, while doing so. A great resource is the ACHE code of ethics. This document can best be used while making ethical decisions. Its purpose is to provide a universal standard, of dealing with ethical dilemmas. When applied properly, it gives a sense of enhanced decision-making. Another valuable resource for a manger or administrator is the Bible. Having a biblical worldview, can help develop a strong moral compass. These tools are available when we need them. The following Code of Ethics was developed combining the two resources. Putting faith to work in a gentle and kind way is the goal. These tools aid the administrator in setting forth values and helping to navigate tough moral/ethical dilemmas. “Code of Ethics for a Healthcare Administrator.” 1) We should strive to be the best version of ourselves. Each team member should seek to develop a strong moral compass. 2) We must have a strong commitment to ethics and creating a moral and ethical environment for others.
