...Building an Ethical Organization Human service organizations are meant to provide quality assistance when assisting individuals in need. One way to assure that this is so, is be making sure that one understands the many aspect of what ethics truly mean. When considering what an ethical organization stands for, one should always implement these six elements, such as: mission statement, values statement, code of ethics, organizational culture, leadership, and oversight. When building an ethical organization, this simply means that one needs to understand what it truly mean to be efficient, effective, productive, professional, and compassionate human service worker. What one has found while taking this course is that there are many human service organizations/agencies that are in this field only for the financial aspect. Creating an ethical organization begins with hiring ethical people. “Once employed, those individuals must step up to the moral challenge and fulfill the ethical responsibilities they have,’ (McCurdy, 1998) One’s staff should “bear the responsibility for the ethical nature of their organization; it will not do the claim that the organization can somehow “lead individuals to do good or evil or that the organization can be guilty of unethical behavior, apart from identifiable individuals who lead it and staff it” (McCurdy, 1998) Even though this is so, individuals have an indisputable moral responsibility in organizations, people also need their organization moral...

...very precisely, executing high-quality services every hour of every day. Organizations that have this sort of requirement usually take on a vertical organizational structure that is having many layers of management, with most of the organization’s staff working in very specific, narrow, low authority roles. The numerous layers of management are designed to make sure that no one person can throw the system off too much. This structure also ensures that tasks are being done exactly and correctly. Organizational structure of a hospital refers to the levels of management within a hospital. Levels allow efficient management of hospital departments. The structure also helps one to understand the hospital’s chain of command. Organizational structure varies from hospital to hospital. Large hospitals have complex organizational structures while smaller hospitals tend to have much simpler organizational structure. A typical organizational structure of a hospital would usually be a combination of a hierarchical and divisional structure, since there is a chain of command where some levels are under another level, but employees are organized in departments or divisions that have their own roles. At the top of the structure would be the administrators, followed by the information services and therapeutic services. Both are usually at the same level. Diagnostic services are also alongside the aforementioned divisions with the support services. If the organizational structure of a hospital would...

Borgen Western Governer’s University Professional Roles & Values 2 Professional Roles & Values Project There are specific functions and benefits that both a regulatory agency and a professional organization entail. The one common objective that exists between the two is to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the public and their healthcare needs. Through researching both entities, a Professional Nursing Mission Statement outlines the valuable characteristics of both establishments with specific roles that are entailed in each one and how they interpret the meaning of quality of care. A: Functional Differences A regulatory agency such as the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services assists with the regulation and upholding of licensure requirements for delivery of competent care within the nursing profession. Laws that are written and monitored evolve from actions within the legislative and executive branches to safeguard the public (NCSBN, 2015). Regulatory agencies also enforce the state nurse practice act along with overlooking exams that grant licenses and disciplining the license of those that engage in unsafe practice. Nurse education programs require approval from a regulatory agency and need to show that collaboration between students and the facility exist (Nursing World, 2012).
