Critical Thinking Case Study
Introduction
Just starting a new position as executive assistant, working directly for the CEO of Faith Community Hospital I receive my first assignment as executive assistant.

The two problems that I have identified are as follows: The first problem I have identified to solve is the moral and ethical differences our practitioners have towards administering care to patients resulting in different levels of care provided by different practitioners. The second problem that I have identified is our increased costs per patient. I need to brainstorm what we can do to reduce or avoid the potential continuing increased costs.
Critical Thinking Case Study
To begin, I need to study the problems thoroughly and efficiently. Then I will need to isolate each of the problems that the CEO and I discussed in the meeting. I will need to analyze each problem and evaluate alternatives for each problem. After that is done, I will make recommendations with corrective actions prepared for the CEO by Monday.

As the CEO said "On one hand, we have particular patients who refuse to take certain medical services, and on the other hand,
