Part 1

In the current times, dynamic regulation and rules have been introduced to ensure the population receives quality of services in healthcare. All healthcare providers have a responsibility of complying with different regulation governing healthcare within their domain. For instance, the public disclosure criteria must be met, lawsuits covering patient`s health and safety, antitrust and competition laws among others (Exter, 2008). The employers have a responsibility of ensuring that the healthcare providers are aware with laws of healthcare compliance in different operations.  Human rights and antidiscrimination form the basis of operation of daily transactions of healthcare.

The healthcare quality practitioners are defined by different ethical conducts rooted in confidentiality, commitment and relationships. One should be committed to maintaining integrity and performance improvement, moral obligation and personal accountability to the other employees, clients, organization and the general public. Healthcare professional should promote integrity and ensure commitment to practicing with integrity, honest, accountability while respecting all laws and refuse to undertake unethical practices like fraudulent, false and deceptive activities (Exter, 2008). They should promote the right to privacy and maintain quality in examination diagnosis and be committed to growth and development. The ethical standards set guide the behaviour of expected by healthcare practitioners when dealing with service users, stake holders and other people they serve. It is important to respect and serve with dignity patients and others through the consideration of their human rights. Employees should maintain professional relationship with service users and not discriminate any person based on their affiliations or background (Pozgar & Santucci, 2009). People have a right to health according the law provisions guiding the healthcare system. For instance, the privacy and confidentiality of patients` information should be maintained. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization advocates for security, confidentiality, safe, ethic principles and respect of patients by healthcare practitioners. Ethical dilemmas are greatly reduced through the ethical standards set by authorities and regulatory bodies.

Moral courage in healthcare providers is very important while performing their duties. Patients require health practitioners to protect and support their patients. It is inevitable for healthcare providers to find themselves in a conflict with professional and personal morals. It is important to stand out and represent the rights of others which may be facing infringement. One should be willing to stand up and act according to moral principles and ethical belief even if threatened and even if there is perceived risk in that situation (Pozgar & Santucci, 2009). Ethical dilemmas are the order of the day for many healthcare providers hence it is important to employ morals and ethical principles in their practice by doing right and which benefits the most within the society.

Part 2

I believe it is possible for healthcare providers to act legally but not ethically. Healthcare providers often face complicated ethical dilemmas in the workplace. Some healthcare providers confront the ethical issues directly while others turn away. Examples of unethical behaviors are seen today in academia, politics, sports, entertainment, banking, and the legal system. Healthcare providers working in clinical practice, education, research, and administration are not immune to these unethical behaviors (Brown, 2007). They face ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. There are some reasons for unethical behavior in the healthcare organizations such as shortages in the numbers of clinicians to deliver patient care, inadequate staffing levels, high costs, and ineffective leadership have resulted in the escalation of ethical dilemmas nurses face today in healthcare environments.
Healthcare providers are required to keep patient information confident.

The information includes medical reports, personal information, and conversations. Doctors may not reveal patient information even in court. However, in some cases, this issue demands a little more flexibility. For example, cases that involve crimes such as gunshot wounds are required to be reported to the police. Underage abortion should also be reported to their parents. Doctors may keep information of underage abortion confidential, but it is not ethical for them (Dogra, 2013). They should report to parents because it is harmful for teenagers both physically and mentally. How individuals respond to these ethical dilemmas depends on their previous experiences with unethical behavior, their individual personality traits, and their ethical values, as well as their knowledge of ethical principles.
