WORK ETHICS AND CQI

CQI is a management paradigm adopted by many health care organizations . This paradigm can be helpful as health care organizations respond to the ethical demands created by the workplace, particularly respect fo r empowerment of the worker, shared levels of power, subsidiarity, col legiality, and the production of goods and services that meet the need s of the community served. An analysis of the workplace reveals other ethical questions that require the attention of managers, owners, and trustees. Some of these are not addressed by the CQI paradigm.
