Consider the following scenarios: Scenario 1: One of the
physicians on staff is telling you about a study that he is doing
on his patients. He hopes to have the study published and to
receive a grant to expand his research. He offers to hire you to
help him with the data collection during your off-hours. You accept
and begin helping him. You start collecting data. When you access
the file the next day, you realize that he has removed a number of
patients from the study. You suspect that they were removed
intentionally, but you cannot be sure. You put your suspicions
aside and proceed with your work and add more patients to the
database. A few days later, more patients have been removed from
the database. When you do some investigation, you discover that the
patients who were removed were sicker and/or had a poor outcome.
This is a problem and may prevent the rewarding of the grant money
to this project.
Scenario 2: You are traveling with your work laptop to a
conference and leave it for five minutes at the airport terminal as
you go to the bathroom. You asked your colleague to keep an eye on
it, but when you return, your colleague has boarded the plane and
taken your belongings. As you look through, you realize your laptop
is missing. When you confront your colleague, she says it was just
there a moment ago and she is certain she brought it on board with
her. Your laptop contains secure information regarding your
organization and has remote access to your clinical information
system. The policy at your organization for a data breach is to
call tech support immediately and report the breach. You think it
may just be misplaced and begin looking.
Choose one of the scenarios above and answer the following: What
challenges are present in the scenario, and what are some steps
that can be taken to address them? What is the relationship between
ethics and policy? Do they always match up with one another? If
individual ethics do not align with organizational policy, what
might be the end result? Support your answer with relevant
