The Case of the Transferred Employee

I am applying for Permissive Transfer for my child due to the fact that I am a new employee to the Gwinnett County Schools System. I have taken a position with Lilburn Middle School with the understanding that if I have a child to come with me to Gwinnett County Schools that they would have to attend the cluster schools in which I work. I have had the opportunity to take a look at the CCRPI and graduation rate scores for the high school within the cluster. At this time I have currently placed my home on the market which is located in Henry County. I plan to move to Gwinnett County and finding a home in the Peachtree Ridge Cluster. Also upon viewing the scores at this time Peachtree Ridge High School has obtained a score of 85.9 for its

A philosophy of an organization helps differentiate themselves from their competitors and set a foundation for future success. It also helps shape an organization by presenting the goals they want to accomplish with specific activities. To improve this, many organizations understand the important of sharing values and goals and realize employee recognition. This helps staff from moving forward toward success of the organizations. Chapter 4 introduces “Codes of Ethics in Health Services.” Code of ethics is a guideline for healthcare professionals to accomplish and serve as a member of a society. Similar to other professions, managers have their own code of ethics in maintaining their duties and responsibilities. They also use the codes for ethical decision-making in dealing with ethical issues. Chapter 5 deals with “Organizational Responses to Ethical Issues.” It provides assistance for managers and organizations in their decision making. It is manager’s duty to figure out the problem and resolve it (Darr, 2011,

Based on the case, Who You Gonna Call by Kevin D. Zeiler, Nicki is working in the billing department for a large, for profit health care organization. She has been working for the company for two and a half years and was just recently promoted to senior Medicare Billing Specialist. Due to her recent promotion she has been granted the ability to information she was not able to before, she then found discrepancies surrounding the way many of the Medicare invoices were coded. She informed her supervisor. The response of the supervisor was this is how we will continue to code these documents and Nicki should focus on training and monitoring her team/staff. She found the response very strange and after six months has passed, she does not feel comfortable and does not know what to do. While Nicki was reading the paper, she read about another facility who is being investigated for Medicare fraud.

Facts of the case: Imagine you are an HR manager and your boss and owner of the company, Bill, comes to you suspecting his assistant, Paige, is stealing money from the company. Bill would like a polygraph test conducted to see if Paige is stealing from the company. He would also like you to conduct electronic surveillance on Paige’s work e-mail for anything suspicious.

Thank you for your contribution to this week's discussion. Very interesting statement you make in that "as an administrator, your employees will have a clear understanding of conduct in the workplace and of course, no gray areas." Often, in supervisory positions, there will come a time when your integrity is challenged and you are placed in compromising situations. How do you avoid situations like this Tomika? How did you handle the situation where employees were taking property from their employer? "Ethics without action has no value. Just talking about your ethics but never acting on those convictions puts you at risk for ethical hypocrisy (Morrison, 2011)."

The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), has a strong impact on ethical decision making because they focus on the “entire being” of the healthcare professional. For example, in ACHE’s preamble of The Code of Ethics it states, “In fulfilling their commitments and obligations to patients or others served, healthcare executives function as moral advocates and models.” Imagine, when a healthcare administrator recites these few words, he cannot help but acknowledge the depth of his commitment and the high level of morality that is expected from him. Because of the vast number of complex ethical dilemmas that arise, ACHE further promotes the value and importance of strong ethical decision making in ACHE’s Ethics Toolkit. “When the ethical guidelines are not enough, when there is uncertainty about the proper ethical approach, and when there is a need to develop additional

With no ethics come dishonesty, disloyalty, fraudulence, and a host of other bad qualities. These qualities are total opposite of what one would need to possess if they were handling any form of business in the healthcare field, particularly in the finance department. When working with funds it is important to keep morals and ethics extremely high because when no one is looking is really when you’re being tested. Sometimes, humans tend to let financial issues burden them down to the point of giving up. If a person going through a tough time in life was to have access to a large amount of money, it would be imperative that this individual
