NMHE-SAHA Panel Series Event

Ethical Challenges in Healthcare

Ethical challenges arise in all aspects of healthcare and service, from the bedside to the boardroom. Hospital leaders and boards set the ethical compass of the organization by making decisions about priorities, policies, and resource allocation as they determine the best ways to meet the needs of their communities while respecting their staff and the populations they serve. Understanding the expanding paradigm of planning, creating, and maintaining an ethical healthcare organization is crucial to help identify strategies for implementing ethics initiatives within your own organization and how an organization has addressed ethical challenges. Healthcare leaders must “walk the talk” and demonstrate their commitment to ethics throughout their organization.

This panel discussion will provide insights on what local healthcare organizations are pursuing to both understand and embrace the healthcare needs of New Mexico’s diverse communities.

The communities for which healthcare organizations operate are extremely diverse. Not only do they provide care for a diverse population of patients and families, but their workforce is also changing, and at times does not reflect the patient community. Diverse communities often require different care needs, improved quality, new or modified operational processes and services, and strategic planning for a varied patient demographic.
