I have a confession. I’ve been neglecting my blogging duties for quite awhile now. One may ask, if I am neglecting the blog, am I neglecting my job duties? Now if I read over my job description, there’s nothing in there about blogging or even social media. But there is a bullet point that reads “promote appropriate use of other current technologies to expedite and enhance training for members”. So is blogging a current technology that expedites and enhances training? Some would say “yes”. So by not blogging on a regular basis, am I not fulfilling my job duties? Thus, my dilemma. But is it an ethical dilemma? What are ethics? This question was recently answered at a Central Region Meeting where the topics was Resolving Ethical Dilemmas in the Workplace. Presented and hosted by CBHNP, 20 PCPA members enjoyed a presentation that included a history of various ethics theories that provide a framework when making decisions, as well as a lively group discussion of some real-life scenarios.
The next PCPA Regional meeting will take place in the SE region, at Human Services, Inc. in Downingtown on April 26. The topic Prevention, Detection, and Reporting of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse of Medicaid Resources is certainly timely and sure to provide attendees with great information.
