Code of ethics.
When an organization or department takes it upon itself to establish a code of conduct, levels of patient satisfaction project, or work-specific competencies it should mandate that these rules become standards of care. Administrators need to mandate that each individual be held accountable for his or her own actions and administrators must be held accountable for enforcing these standards.
