Assignment Content 

Evaluate public health policies and practices as they relate to legal and ethical implications for individuals and populations. 

Instructions 

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.

On your first day in the position, the CEO requested that you design a short in-service training session for employees on the importance of professional ethics and liability protections.

You will need to develop an information sheet that explains the similarities and differences between laws and ethics, and the impact of unethical practices on healthcare. An information sheet provides brief and clear information on the required subject. Often, bullet points are utilized in an information sheet; however, since employees will be expected to know and understand the material thoroughly, your information sheet should be more detailed and offer supporting evidence, including a reference list.

  1. The information sheet should give your employees enough information to understand the differences and similarities between ethics and laws, the impact of unethical practices on healthcare, and the importance of professional ethics.
  2. Make sure to use audience-specific language and tone in your information sheet. Remember, you are writing this information sheet for your co-workers; however, the CEO and the Board of Directors may attend.
  3. Be creative, and make your information sheet fun, yet still clearly organized.

various instances. It is, therefore, important to understand the differences and similarities
between law and ethics to avoid and overcome ambiguities when using the words.
Differences and Similarities between Laws and Ethics
A law is a set of rules and regulations set by an administrative authority to govern
subordinates such as society, country, or employees (McDonalds, 2020). The main intention
of the law is to regulate the order and enforce the right human behaviour for the common
good by devoiding evil and injustice. Different institutions have laws that govern the
functioning of their jurisdictive elements. For instance, countries have laws that govern their
citizens. Similarly, the healthcare industry comprises laws that make up the legal framework
