The Chosen Case Study Issue and How It Relates To HHSM
Ideally, there are various factors of considerations when making decisions in medical
settings especially if it is a critical matter that revolves around patients. Apparently, the main
concern for the leadership of health care systems is the increasingly tenuous relationships
between the primary stakeholders particularly with the entire medical system that include the
patients, providers, as well as players (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, & Robinson, 2018). The main
issue in the current case study is the factors or aspects of considerations in making vital decisions
in the healthcare systems. In this light, managers are tasked at making ethical decisions in
handling people of diverse cultures and beliefs while still adhering to the set laws. The selected
issue is related to the HHSM because, like managers, individuals of the HHSM are expected to
be adaptable to the overall socio-cultural diversity in the society especially when making
decisions. Additionally, HHSM calls for individuals to work within an ethical as well as
professional mindset while being accountable for every action that they take.

Resources Prior To Solving the Issue
Problem-solving, as well as decision making, are all one element that needs critical
analysis, especially when making decisions regarding patients or rather health care system. In
this light, it is impossible to solve a problem without making decisions. for this to happen, there
are various resources that are critical prior to making decisions or rather choosing the direction
one intends to lie on especially when one is a manager. In virtually all patients’ interactions,
medical practitioners or rather the providers have to decide on the way he or she should proceed
based on their training as well as their experience (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, & Robinson, 2018).
In case a provider decides to offer patient care directions to an individual that is regarded as a
patient, the medical provider or rather the manager may decide to treat the patient who adheres to
the provider’s directions. The provider should as well have the ability to attempt to DE-
