Week 4 Assignment
For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation (5-7 slides) on employee codes of conduct using information from your textbook and at least two other scholarly sources.
Record a video in which you use your PowerPoint presentation to address the following:
First, research employee codes of ethics, especially for the medical field. Find some examples of employee codes of ethics from medical facilities and choose the one from the facility you feel is the best. Note the facility and the code of ethics you are choosing.
Next, discuss why you chose that particular code of ethics as the best example (e.g., What topics does it cover? Why are these important? How does it word information?).
Also, discuss the items of ethical concern in a medical setting that were not covered at all or that were not covered well in the document.
Finally, present a plan of action for educating your staff on a new employee code of ethics.
Remember that we now live in a world of entertainment where an old-fashioned lecture and PowerPoint presentation will cause every employee to block you out after a very short amount of time. Such critical information needs to be heard and understood—and as an administrator, you have to be able to accomplish that task.
