In the department of Health and Human Services, (HHS) it is their duty to protect the well beings such as the health of all americans. This means that they provide effective health services like medicine, public health programs, and by also providing human services like social services.

Health Care workers are constantly faced with legal and ethical issues every day during the course of their work. It is important that the health care workers have a clear understanding of these legal and ethical issues that they will face (1). In the case study analysed key legal and ethical issues arise during the initial decision-making of the incident, when the second ambulance crew arrived, throughout the treatment and during the transfer of patient to the hospital. The ethical issues in this case can be described as what the paramedic believes is the right thing to do for the patient and the legal issues control what the law describes that the paramedic should do in this situation (2, 3). It is therefore important that paramedics also

Leadership is a broad term with a powerful and diverse meaning. Found in every profession, school setting, and workplace, proves its vital and valued role.

My analysis of this case is that the communication process at the hospital is the biggest problem. Chris is a newly college graduate and already an associate CEO of a huge organization with little experience, Pat the CEO of the organization is wanting Chris to make decisions on a problem that he knows little about being he was just hired. The issues that are at hand are that the CEO is placing a lot of the work on the new person and relying on him to think of how to overcome a lot of the problems that have been going on for awhile. Some of the issues in the case are that the people working at the hospital are making medical decisions that are not supposed to be making and the insurance companies are also making the decisions on what a certified doctor should be making. Another issue at the hospital is that the finances are not the way they should be and the CEO is saying that it is the operations are not the way it should be. If the following recommendations are followed then the hospital should work a lot smoother. All the problems the have risen could be put in to one problem is that there is no communication with the departments and people are making decisions that should not be.

But we face some challenges in our organization, and we gain also some more strengths to reach our goal.
In this case study Allison is put in a tough situation because her doctors decided to make ineffective decisions. At first, the doctors were keeping Allison up-to-date with what they were doing, but only to a certain point. When the doctors did everything, they thought would result in the practice becoming “successful” they ended up going to Allison for advice. In chapter 3 of the book Introduction to Health Care Management, authors Buchbinder and Shanks make a good point about workplace motivational theories by stating, “to achieve this type of success, organizations must recognize the full power of their employees and motivate them to reach for the common good of the organization” (p. 51). Allison must have the best interest to help these doctors as they face many complicated issues, for her to be able to draw upon and apply the theories of management and motivation to address the issues the doctors created.
