Ethical behavior, which is defined by actions that are the "right thing to do, not simply what is required by law," are critical to the healthcare industry. The healthcare industry is fraught with difficult situations that involve ethical dilemmas and it is the responsibility of the human resources (HR) department to ensure employees are knowledgeable concerning legal, ethical, and safety concerns in healthcare. Devise a framework for ethics training that incorporates the theme(s) of a healthcare code of ethics for managed care. The framework must address the following components: discussion of competent medical care, upholding professional standards, respecting the law, respecting the rights of patients and colleagues, maintaining a commitment to medical education, supporting public health activities, regard for patient care as the primary goal, and support for medical care access for all individuals.
