SOLUTION

I’m going to discuss the Montefiore medical center’s code of conduct found on this link https://www.montefiore.org/about-code-of-ethics.  Code of conduct is crucial especially to healthcare firms to ensure that they remain focused to providing high quality services to their customers as well as the community that they serve (Gitman, & McDaniel, 2018). The ethics govern the entity’s decisions making and ensures that the services provided adequately serve the society’s needs.

Montefiore code of ethics call for the facility to lead the way for ethical integrity in its business operations as well as other areas that impact the way hospitals provide care. On the hospital’s official website, it is indicated that this was the first organization in the country to come up with such an ethical code.
