changes and to offset the negative changes? Why?

creation and maintenance of an ethically responsible budget that assures
quality safe care? Why would you choose this strategy?
HCA 827 Topic 7 DQ 2

safe care tends to cost more initially, but many believe that it ultimately
reduces costs because it allows for more money to be spent on care than on
lawsuits, relapses, infections, and other unwanted consequences. To what extent
is the delivery of quality safe care a factor of the work environment? Explain.
Does ethics education play a role in the creation of a work environment
dedicated to quality safe care? Why or why not?
