Now more than ever, ethical management in healthcare requires more than
just a commitment to "doing the right thing." It requires the ability to analyze
highly complex situations in a volatile environment, to address the myriad needs
and concerns of patients and other stakeholders, to thoughtfully evaluate diverse
courses of action, and ultimately to choose the right path when the moral "rules"
are not always clear.
The Tracks We Leave: Ethics and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, now in its third
edition, provides guidance for current and future healthcare managers as they
confront the ethical challenges of their day-to-day work. Structured around a
series of real-life cases, the book explores the ethical implications of such topics as:
*	
*	
*	
*	
*	
*	
*	

Medical errors
Conflicts of interest
Sexual harassment and gender discrimination
Physician impairment
Emergency preparedness
Workforce reductions
End-of-life decisions

Through a host of relevant, timely scenarios and thought-provoking essays, the
book examines ethics as a leadership imperative, describes organizational policies
and infrastructure components that support an ethical culture, and presents a
framework for ethical analysis that is both comprehensive and pragmatic.
