Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık yöneticileri için mesleki etik ilkelerin önemini vurgulamak, yöneticilerin etik ilkelere dayalı kararlar alarak sağlık hizmetlerinde kalitenin artırılması ve etik dışı uygulamaların önlenmesi için sağlık yöneticiliği mesleğine özgün meslek etiği ilkeleri ile meslek yemini önerisini geliştirmektir. Etik ilkeleri belirlemek için literatür taranmış ve sağlık kurum/kuruluşlarının web sayfalarındaki etik ilkelerle ilgili mevzuatları incelenmiştir. Etik ilkeler sağlık yöneticilerinin sahip olduğu çok yönlü sorumluluklar, çalışanlar, hizmet alanlar, toplum, tedarikçiler vb. karşı yükümlülükleri göz önünde bulundurularak değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirmeler, Türkiye’de sağlık yöneticilerine özgün meslek etiği ilkelerinin ve bağlayıcı meslek yeminlerinin bulunmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu kapsamda “Temel Etik İlkeler”, “Denetimle İlgili Etik İlkeler” ve “İdari ve Mali Hizmetlerde Etik İlkeler” olmak üzere üç ana kategoride, toplam 56 maddeden oluşan etik ilkeler belirlenerek somut öneri geliştirilmiştir. Etik ilkeler, görev temelli olarak önerilmiştir. Ayrıca, sağlık yöneticiliğinin kurumsallaşması için meslek sembolü oluşturulması ve meslek yemini gerekliliği önerilmiştir. Geliştirilen etik ilke önerileri, sağlık yöneticilerinin kamu yararını gözeten, hesap verebilir, şeffaf, adil ve sorumlu bir yönetim anlayışını benimsemelerine katkı sağlayacaktır.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to emphasize the importance of professional ethical principles for healthcare managers, improve the quality of healthcare services by making decisions based on ethical principles, and develop a proposal for professional ethics principles and a professional oath specific to the healthcare management profession to prevent unethical practices. To identify these principles, a literature review was conducted, and legislation regarding ethical principles on the websites of health institutions and organizations was examined. Ethical principles were evaluated by considering the multifaceted responsibilities of healthcare managers and their obligations toward healthcare workers, service users, society, suppliers, and others. The evaluations revealed that there are no specific professional ethics principles or binding professional oaths for healthcare managers in Turkey. In this context, ethical principles comprising a total of 56 articles across three main categories—“Basic Ethical Principles,” “Ethical Principles Related to Auditing,” and “Ethical Principles in Administrative and Financial Services”—were identified, and concrete recommendations were developed. It is proposed that these ethical principles be mission-based. Additionally, it was suggested that a professional symbol and an oath be required to institutionalize health management. The proposed ethical principles will help health managers adopt an accountable, transparent, fair, and responsible management approach that prioritizes the public interest.
