I am charged with solving specific problems, delivering the solutions and describing my rationale for my proposed solutions, my boss, the CEO of the Community Hospital is requiring the information next Monday. In my following report I will take steps to identify the problems and to solve each of the problems depict using the critical thinking skills I contract learned at State University. I will be using my decision making skills along with a brainstorming technique to help me solve these problems. The two problems that I fill 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. faultfinding Thinking Case StudyTo 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.

The hospital and regulators are seeing inconsistent decisions that are implemented for the patients based on the particular doctors or nurses morals, and ethical beliefs. As the CEO said On one hand, we have particular patients who wane to take certain medical services, and on the other hand, pa rticular staff members who refuse to provide certain services. The doctors are not following any set standards for issuing care for our patients.
