Decision making is one of the most sensitive practices undertaken in any sector. In the field of healthcare, ethical decision making is one of the crucial elements that need to be involved. According to American College of Healthcare Executives (2011), healthcare executives must always address the uncertainty or the conflicts towards the competing attributes that include societal, professional, organizational and personal values. As a professional healthcare executive, I should engage ethical principles for easy decision making and problem solving such as beneficence, autonomy and justice (American College of Healthcare Executives, 2011). I should be able to study the dilemmas in the field like inadequate apparatus and then follow the policy to ensure this problem is solved with a consideration of the ethics.
Ethical behavior is all about following rules that have been set to offer guideline in undertaking duties or obligations. As for moral integrity it’s doing all duties or obligations in the right way regardless of the existence of the rules (Wood, 2010). Moral integrity does not need or include rules to function while ethical behavior functions in the existence of stipulated rules (Wood, 2010). Though the difference is seemingly less, ethical behavior and moral integrity are different. In an example a person can be said to be ethical right while they do not have integrity at all. According to Wood (2010), "Many people are always trying to be out of problems because the rules have stipulated it out for them. This does not mean that wouldn’t change ahead with those similar behaviors if they were not prohibited. Integrity comes from a greater depth of character."
