For this case study, let’s assume you recently were promoted and you now manage a hospital dental clinic. As part of this job, you hold a seat on the hospitals Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). In that capacity, review the following case study, and choose one to write about. You will present your case study to the head of the hospitals Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC)

In addition, the third case was an important policy issue that had ethical implications: Should the hospital provide free baby formula? This issue was more complex than it first appeared.

At question was a curious phenomenon. Health professionals were virtually unanimous in the belief that breast milk was best for infants. Evidence was overwhelming that breast milk reduced a baby’s susceptibility to illnesses such as ear infections and stomach flu and played a positive role in many other ways such as mental and hormonal development. Why, then, did so many mothers who gave birth in hospitals choose synthetic baby formula? The reasons were many and varied, including opposition to breast-feeding from family and friends, lack of good information, unsympathetic work settings, and reasons of custom and fashion. Many health professionals believed hospitals undermined breast-feeding by the widespread practice of giving new mothers free formula supplied by formula manufacturers. Research indicated the practice did make a difference. One study at Boston City Hospital, cited in The Wall Street Journal, found that 343 low-income women, who received free formula from the hospital, breast-fed their infants for a median duration of forty-two days, compared with sixty days for those who received no free formula-a difference of 30 percent. The article concluded with the observation that breast-feeding rates were not much higher than they were ten years ago.

At a joint meeting of the IECs of the three local hospitals, this issue of conflict of interest between formula manufacturers that supplied the free formula and the three hospitals was raised. All three hospitals accepted free baby formula. One breastfeeding proponent candidly described her suspicion of the close ties between hospitals and formula companies hoping to promote their product. Discussion of the issue by IEC members at this joint meeting resulted in four main options for dealing with the issue: (1) accept no free formula at all despite its availability; (2) give no free formula to those who breast-feed; (3) charge patients a nominal fee for the free formula, so families considered the cost of formula when making the breast-feeding decision; and (4) continue to issue free formula but also distribute information about the benefits of breast-feeding. The four options were not prioritized.

At Mr. Blackwell’s request, the IEC of Regional Memorial Hospital is to meet to advise him on a morally justifiable course of action relative to the hospital’s free baby formula practice and to offer advice on what to do about Baby Boy-X and Annie O.

This assignment requires you to choose and analyse two real-world business cases,

focusing on the governance, law and ethics problems they present. For the two cases

you select, you will need to explain the main issues and discuss how they fit into the

bigger picture, both within the original country they happen and internationally.

Further to task 1, you will discuss the challenges by examining the specific problems

related to governance (the company corporate behaviour), ethics (what was right

and/or wrong), and the law (what was right and/or wrong in the eye of law). You also

need to look at how the organisations responded to these crises. Then reflect on social

responsibility by thinking about what duties these organisations have to society, both

now and in the future, especially considering the incidents that occurred.

Assignment instructions: For this task, you must produce a Case Analysis

and Application Report. You are encouraged to discuss suitability of the chosen case

with your module lecturer.

Task 1: Case analysis

For this assignment, you must choose two real-world business cases, discuss

the issues and put them within a national and international context:

Describe the key governance, legal, and ethical issues each organisation faced.

Show how governance and legal principles apply in these cases.

Explain how national and international contexts shaped the issues.

[Word count: 1,000 words]

Task 2: Application Report

Building on the cases you selected in Task 1, critically evaluate the governance, legal,

and ethical issues involved. Your report should:

Analyse how governance structures and legal frameworks influenced the

organisations actions.

Assess the ethical implications of the organisations decisions and behaviours.

Evaluate the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the chosen

organisations.

Provide clear, evidence-based recommendations for how the organisation could

have acted differently or how it should act in future.

[Word count:2000 words]

For this assignment, you will critically analyze the potential for nonresponse error in the survey instrument you drafted in Week 3. Your analysis should be presented in a 2-page paper, formatted in current APA style, and should address the following: Likely Sources of Nonresponse: Identify and explain at least three specific factors that could lead to nonresponse (both unit and item nonresponse) in your Week 3 survey, considering your target population and chosen data collection method. Provide a rationale for why these factors are likely to be significant. Strategies to Minimize Nonresponse and Bias: Propose at least three practical and ethically sound strategies to minimize nonresponse rates and potential nonresponse bias in your survey. These strategies should be specific and justified based on the literature and your understanding of your target population. Examples include offering incentives, employing specific follow-up procedures, or carefully timing survey administration. Ethical Implications: Discuss the ethical considerations related to nonresponse in your survey. How might nonresponse affect the representativeness of your sample and the validity of your findings? Consider issues of fairness, inclusion, and the potential for marginalized voices to be underrepresented.

This practice dataset based on the Healthcare Administration scenario. This dataset is intentionally “dirty”it includes the exact inconsistencies we discussed: mixed gender formats, missing discharge reasons, and logical date errors.

You can copy and save the text below as healthcare_data.csv.

Code snippet

Patient_ID,Admission_Date,Discharge_Date,Gender,Discharge_Reason,Cost

P001,2023-01-10,2023-01-15,M,Recovered,5000

P002,2023-01-12,2023-01-14,Female,,3200

P003,2023-02-01,2023-01-28,F,Recovered,4500

P004,2023-02-05,2023-02-10,Male,Transfer,6100

P005,2023-03-01,2023-03-05,M,,2900

P006,2023-03-10,2023-03-12,Female,Recovered,3400

P001,2023-01-10,2023-01-15,M,Recovered,5000

Python Analysis Script

You can run this script in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab to practice the Cleaning and Validation steps. This script uses the pandas library, which is the gold standard for data wrangling in MS-HA and MBA programs.

Python

import pandas as pd

# 1. Load the data

df = pd.read_csv(“healthcare_data.csv”)

# 2. Deduplication: Remove the duplicate row for Patient P001

df = df.drop_duplicates()

# 3. Standardization: Fix the ‘Gender’ column

gender_map = {‘M’: ‘Male’, ‘F’: ‘Female’, ‘Male’: ‘Male’, ‘Female’: ‘Female’}

df[‘Gender’] = df[‘Gender’].map(gender_map)

# 4. Handling Missingness: Fill blank Discharge Reasons

df[‘Discharge_Reason’] = df[‘Discharge_Reason’].fillna(‘Standard’)

# 5. Validation: Identify the logical date error (P003)

df[‘Admission_Date’] = pd.to_datetime(df[‘Admission_Date’])

df[‘Discharge_Date’] = pd.to_datetime(df[‘Discharge_Date’])

df[‘Date_Error’] = df[‘Discharge_Date’] < df[‘Admission_Date’]

print(“— Cleaned Dataset —“)

print(df)

What to Look For in Your Results:

• Row Count: You should see 6 rows instead of 7 (the duplicate P001 is gone).
• Standardization: All “M” and “F” values should now be “Male” and “Female.”
• Logical Check: Patient P003 will have True in the Date_Error column because their discharge date is before their admission date. As a manager, you would flag this record for the IT or clinical audit team.

Managerial Takeaway

• By running this code, you are moving from data consumer to data governor. You aren’t just looking at a final report; you are ensuring the “plumbing” of the data is sound before it reaches the CFO or Chief Medical Officer.

Why this Chart Matters to a Healthcare Administrator:

• Resource Allocation: By seeing that “Transfer” patients have the highest average cost ($6,100), a manager might investigate if these patients require more intensive pre-transfer stabilization or if the billing for transfers needs auditing.
• Performance Benchmarking: If “Standard” discharges are significantly cheaper than “Recovered,” is it due to shorter stays or lower intensity of care? This chart prompts the next level of operational questioning.
• Data Integrity Assurance: By explicitly filtering out Date_Errors, you can confidently tell stakeholders: “This report represents only verified patient encounters, excluding administrative logging errors.”
