Abstract:
Bioethics has been the leading area of ethical focus and concern in the hospital industry. This focus on
clinical operations and performance dominates the field of health care ethics. Much less attention has
been paid to administrative ethics dealing with management concerns and overall organizational culture.
This study examines what forces, both internal and external, cause hospital chief executive officers to
pursue ethical integration within their organizations. In studying a range of factors, two issues prove to
be the major motivators in this regard. These factors of market environment and patient satisfaction have
strong economic overtones.
