Hi Fahad
While utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall good, it’s important to consider potential unintended consequences. For example, focusing purely on maximizing patient throughput in an emergency room might prioritize speed over thoroughness, potentially compromising patient care in the long run. Utilitarianism also raises questions about defining “good.” Whose well-being is prioritized? The majority? The most influential? Healthcare leaders must carefully consider these complexities when making utilitarian decisions. Can you think of a situation from your workplace where a utilitarian approach might conflict with the principle of justice? How could a healthcare leader navigate this ethically?

Thanks Jamal for your post. Regular audits and inspections of healthcare facilities and providers are crucial in detecting fraudulent practices. What regulatory bodies are responsible for enforcement and at what frequency are audits performed?
