Provide a brief overview of the organization you selected.
Tenet Healthcare Corporation is one of the most influential healthcare services companies in the United States. The company is diversified in that it offers a wide range of solutions to the healthcare sector in the U.S. Tenet, headquartered in Dallas, operates several hospitals in the U.S. Also, the healthcare organization runs other healthcare facilities, including rehabilitation hospitals, medical office buildings, long-term care facilities, and psychiatric facilities (Bloomberg, 2021). Throughout the U.S., Tenet Healthcare operates 65 hospitals (Tenet Health, 2021). The organization seeks to bring about a major difference in the healthcare sector by providing community-specific healthcare solutions. So far, the healthcare organization boasts of having made more than 8.6 patient care encounters. However, such a number would not have been possible if not for the organization's 108,000 employees, more than 5,000 physician partners, and 50 health system partners. As a result, Tenet Healthcare's influence on the U.S. healthcare sector cannot be easily quantified, bearing the number of lives it continually saves through its various initiatives.
Describe the tools used to enforce regulations.
Tenet Healthcare uses several tools that ensure the organization enforces regulations within its organizational walls. Staying within the specified rules and regulations is key as it ensures continuity of operations. Tenet Healthcare employs tools such as the Code of Conduct, The Tenet Way (a mobile application), and the Tenet Ethics Action Line as a leading healthcare organization.
The Code of Conduct is a mandatory document that all companies must have. Such a document spells out the rules and regulations that every employee needs to follow. This document is prepared to help ensure that organizations enforce and subscribe to the nationally developed rules and regulations. For Tenet Healthcare, the organization takes the extra step of having an Ethics and Compliance Program that helps to ensure all employees align with its code of conduct (Tenet Healthcare, 2021).
The Tenet Way is another ingenious tool that Tenet Healthcare uses to help enforce regulations. The application is available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and all members of the organization can access it. Through this application, members of the organization can find policy resources that help them make better and more ethically in tune decisions. Further, the application allows members to report whatever concerns they may have regarding the organization or non-compliance (Tenet Healthcare, 2021).
Lastly, Tenet Healthcare has an Ethics Action Line that is available to all employees. Through this tool, employees get to report their concerns over non-compliance and any other issues associated with regulations. With such a tool, employees grow confident to act following the regulations since they are part of the enforcing process.
