Fostering Inclusion of Patients and Employees with Disabilities
The fundamental objectives of the healthcare management,
profession are to maintain or enhance the overall quality of,
life, dignity, and well-being of every individual needing,
healthcare service and to create an equitable, accessible,
effective, and efficient health system. Healthcare executives,
have an obligation to act in certain ways that will merit the,
trust, confidence and respect of healthcare professionals and,
the public. In part, healthcare executives must promote a,
culture of inclusivity that seeks to prevent discrimination on,
the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual,
orientation, age or disability to their employees and the,
community that they serve. In the patient care setting and,
employment settings, managing a more diverse patient,
population and workforce means gaining more perspectives,
on how to manage challenges and achieve organizational,
success.
