For this assignment, we have to create a code of ethics for a department within a health care organization. This document will serve as a guide for ethical behavior and conduct in the department. The document's content should reflect thoughtful research on codes of ethics and professionalism in the health care field/specialty area. We have to use our own professional ethics, reflection on experience, and research to write content.

Prepare: A code of ethics for your department

Your role: Department administrator

Audience: Employees of your department

Department type: We have to pick from one of the following. State your department/audience in the introduction portion of the document.

• Health Information Management
• [Any specialty] clinical department
• Patient Access
• Patient Accounts

Document kind and length: Word document, one page of content

APA requirements: Title and they want some reference pages, three sources, in-text citations.

Noteworthy: Verbiage in codes of ethics documents can be standard. To ensure the work is properly attributed, and also contains a reasonable balance of original material, consider reviewing your work with a Herzing Writing coach. A Writing coaching appointment can be scheduled through the TWC site within the Student Resources section of Canvas.
