Description
NAHQ members are concerned about recent cases of retaliation and at least one case of criminal prosecution of healthcare quality professionals who were taking appropriate action to address significant clinical quality concerns consistent with their job responsibilities. Intimidation, retaliation against or prosecution of healthcare quality professionals who, in the course of performing their job functions, seek to remedy significant quality issues has a profound and deleterious effect on the healthcare system. This session will discuss the findings and recommendations of the NAHQ Ethical Dilemmas Task Team. Additionally, recommendations from the Team's collaboration with other stakeholders will be discussed.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Describe current ethical challenges in healthcare quality and risk management.
  • Identify available resources and carry out prudent measures if facing an ethical dilemma.
  • Recognize professional responsibility to manage ethical dilemmas impacting healthcare quality/safety
