    Some parts of health care may seem like the norm or harmless, given certain circumstances, can have a huge level of unethicality. For example, certain companies have appreciation programs or incentives to show appreciation for their employees. However, these rewards (when given excessively or habitually) may add up and greatly affect shareholders in the long run. This example of gifting is a practice that may more often than not, be construed as unethical and/or for personal gain. If personal gain is the main motive, then a conflict of interest is more likely to occur. Conflicts of interest occur within health care when providers’ self-interests, along with personal interests become interlocked which can interfere with professional judgments or actions. When one power makes a business decision based on an arrangement with another power to mutually benefit them both can create a conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest may occur in any organization, at any moment, which can result in bad decision making that can affect an organization negatively. A conflict of interest in health care, can influence a health care professional to alter his or her treatment plan of care…

    In the article “Walking the Fine Line: Distinguishing between tokens of appreciation and bribes” author Marjean Pountain examines gift-giving, bribery and the fine line that separates them in her profession as a Real Estate Management Executive. Real Estate Managers are in a job that requires them to make many decisions and the choice of which vendor to use should not be affected by anything but what is best for the company’s clients. The competition between various vendors should always be based on who can provide the best service at the best price. The vendors can give them “tokens of appreciation” but she stresses that they “…must be careful, that any such gifts we accept are truly "tokens" of appreciation and not bribes for our choice of vendor”(Pountain, 2010, p.10). Many companies have rules and regulations as to what is an acceptable gift but these policies can greatly vary and some do not allow employees to accept gifts at any time. The use of good judgment and disclosing any gifts received to a company supervisor, as well making it clear to the vendor that there can be no "strings attached" to the gift is always necessary. The author also proposes several ways to handle the gift-giving situation within an ethical framework and without hurting anyone’s feelings. According to Pountain (2010, p.10), “Proper professional decorum befitting the standards of ethics we have pledged to will enable us to maintain respect, and thereby can serve as the best gift we can give to ourselves”.…

    When a ‘gift’ is given or accepted – regardless of the intention of the gift-giver - it can give the wrong impression and the ‘appearance’ that whatever has transpired is not on the ‘up and up’. In other words, what may have been an innocent gesture – could be interpreted as just the opposite and can blur the lines of integrity, fairness and trust.…

    There are a million ethical issues in today 's businesses and unfortunately there is no perfect decision measurement for all these issues. Ethical decision making can involve a number of determining factors. These factors can include; distinguishing between what is unethical as opposed to illegal, by finding important facts, and identifying the ethical issues involved. Making decisions whether on a micro or macro scale almost always involves ethical implications for how people are affected. In the large world of business money or gifts are exchanged to alter the behavior of the recipient. Money or gift giving allows the person to receive information that may not be made available to others or could even be used to keep someone quiet. Bribery in some geographical areas isn’t even considered a business or moral issue it’s considered the cost of doing business. While in other area’s bribery is considered against the law and carries various types of punishments.…
