Analysis of Work Environment

Posted: January 15th, 2014

For this part of the project, you will be required to select a potential or current work environment related to your field of study. Within this field of study, research the ethical, legal, and standards of practice considerations related to your chosen work environment. You will also need to critically analyze how effectively this work environment carries out ethical guidelines. There are several substantial areas related to professional ethical guidelines that must be considered for the work setting you are choosing to explore:

— The social and cultural composition of the population served and culturally sensitive practices.

— A theoretical framework that reflects the professional ethical codes of your field.

— Issues of informed consent and acknowledgement of client and patient rights.

— Strategies to ensure confidentiality.

— Potential problems that result from dual relationship issues.

— Delivery of services considerations (such managed care, fee for service, and use of online technology).
