This insightful book examines the ethical dimensions of health care organizations, focusing on issues like corporate fraud and moral integrity. Institutional Integrity in Health Care is a vital resource for professionals and students.

This volume explores the complex landscape of health care organizational ethics, delving into critical issues such as corporate fraud and the moral integrity of institutions. It provides a comprehensive examination of the various factors that contribute to a coherent discussion on organizational moral responsibility. By addressing these fundamental concerns, the text aims to enhance understanding and foster ethical practices within health care organizations.

In Institutional Integrity in Health Care, the authors highlight the importance of ethical frameworks and principles that guide decision-making in health care settings. They emphasize the need for transparency and accountability in addressing ethical dilemmas that arise within organizations. The book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to navigate the intricate ethical challenges faced by health care institutions today.

This volume is particularly relevant for researchers, students, and professionals engaged in bioethics, health care administration, and organizational science. Its unique coverage of ethical issues makes it an essential addition to the literature on business ethics and health care management. Institutional Integrity in Health Care not only presents theoretical perspectives but also practical insights that can aid in developing a more ethically sound health care system.

"This is a splendid contribution. There is nothing like it in the literature. It is not just the first substantive exploration of practical issues that fall under the rubric health care organizational ethics, but it also begins the important task of exploring the nature of the field itself."
(Tristram Engelhardt, Jr., Ph.D., M.D.)
"This volume is much needed, given the increasingly-observed shifts in health care, namely that health care is less and less carried out between a doctor and patient, and more and more carried out between a group of individuals and a patient .... This volume reflects on the kinds of standards that should be in place for institutions, from whence these standards come, how they are changed, implemented, and evaluated, who takes responsibility, and untold other avenues."
(Jeffrey Bishop, M.D.)
