Prepare a 6 slide PowerPoint presentation for a lunch-and-learn.

As you prepare for your career, it’s important to learn and show a basic understanding of the key ethical ideas related to healthcare management. These ethical principles need to be woven into every part of an organization to help handle tough situations in management, leadership, planning, and decision-making.

You should also know how personal values connect to ethical management. Having moral integrity, which means doing the right thing, is key to professional actions and can lead to successful business outcomes. However, personal ethical challenges might make it hard to stay a consistent moral leader over time. This is why creating your own moral guidelines and knowing your ethical limits can help guide your career.

Some of the most common ethical principles used by healthcare leaders are autonomy (respecting individual choices), beneficence (doing good), nonmaleficence (avoiding harm), and justice (fairness). Good managers use these principles to prevent and solve problems in all areas of the business.

While these principles might seem easy to understand, the real challenge for healthcare leaders is knowing how to apply them correctly. An effective leader builds knowledge and skills in ethical leadership by watching others, practicing, and reflecting on experiences and outcomes. The constant changes in our healthcare system offer ongoing opportunities to develop moral leadership qualities. Each part of the healthcare system has different needs and situations related to these ethical principles, but some applications are the same everywhere.

As a new leader, you’ve decided to prepare a 30-minute lunch-and-learn agenda to give to healthcare managers to cover the topic of ethical theories and principles. Explain the relationship between personal integrity and ethical leadership, and between ethical leadership and positive organizational outcomes. Use the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice and how these principles guide ethical healthcare leadership practices.

As a part of the lunch-and-learn, you decided to bring a food item to share from your heritage or culture.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

We take academic integrity very seriously. Academic integrity means acting with fairness and honesty, giving credit to others where you are referring to their ideas or research and respecting the work of others. Plagiarism is defined as: ‘Using or copying the work of others (whether written, printed or in any other form) without proper acknowledgement’. Before you finalise your assignment take time to check that all your statements are backed up with supporting evidence, that all sources you use – whether referring to their ideas, quoting directly or paraphrasing – are correctly referenced in the text. Correct use of referencing acknowledges the academic whose work has informed yours, enables the reader to find the sources you have used and demonstrates your ability to find and analyse relevant information.

Failure to properly acknowledge the work of others is an academic offence and may result in your work incurring a penalty or, in the most serious cases, you being removed from the course for academic dishonesty.

If you are unsure about referencing or plagiarism there are useful resources available in the Study Skills Hub which is accessible from the menu on the left-hand side. If you are still experiencing difficulties with academic integrity then you can for individualised support.

Please note, a word count penalty applies to this assessment.
