This timely and topical book explores whether there is a place for ethics in the field of health care management and, if so, what this place is. Bringing together diverse views and including three international case studies, Ethics and Values in Health Care Management presents the debate between those who think that ethics should occupy a central place in health care management and those who deny that constructing an ethic for health care managers is a feasible project. Among the topics discussed are health care rationing, an analysis of how managers can be preoccupied with the goals of management and the values of doctors simultaneously, an outline of potential guidelines towards formulating a cohesion of health care management and ethical management, and a reassessment of the role of health care professionals. Ethics and Values in Health Care Management provides a much-needed analysis of subject and offers solutions towards improving health care organizations.
