HLT 520 Legal and Ethical Principles in
Health Care
Grand Canyon University
Week 5
HLT 520 Topic 5 Discussion Question 1
You are a hospital administrator, and you receive a call from a colleague
at another hospital. Your colleague, who is a friend, informs you that he
has received a demand for a stipend from the ophthalmologists who take
ED calls at his hospital, and they want a sizeable raise. He asks you what
you pay for that type of call, and suggests that you could both benefit by
coming up with a standard rate of pay over which neither of you will go
in response to physician demands. It could save your hospitals $300,000
to do this. What is your response, and what is the rationale for it?
