Week 9 Discussion

Pros and Cons of Compliance

The CEO of your organization has become embroiled in a dispute between the head of the psychiatric department, who insists that all of the information gathered in his department is highly classified and is not subject to sharing with any other agency, and the director of the local public health agency who insists that they have the right to request that this information be included in the monthly data transfer of all health data collected by the organization.

The CEO has asked that you provide your insights as to what the issues are and who you believe to be correct in their assessment. Discuss what you would include in this feedback. Include in the discussion the pros and cons of complying with the requests from each of these parties as well as providing your perspective as to who is correct.
