Corporate Governance and Ethical Responsibility

departments with over 5,000 employees and over 20,000 patients at the medical facility. He has been provided with
a broad set of duties and oversight of numerous departments, including business development, customer services,
human resources, legal, patient advocacy, to name a few. He has managers in each department that he supervises and
who work with him to address the needs of the various internal and external stakeholders of the hospital. Dr.
DoRight discovers that some patients within the hospital have been dying as a result of a variety of illegal
procedures by doctors and nurses, and negligent supervision and oversight on their part. This was brought to his
attention in a few meetings and he told his Regional Director Compliance Manager and Executive Committee in
January 2009. He was told by them that the matter would be investigated and they would report any findings to him
as soon as possible. After two (2) years, there have been no results from the investigation and some patients are
still passing away due to the negligent activities. He also answers to a board of trustees and interfaces with
numerous community organizations and corporations who have various reasons for doing business with the hospital.
