Abstract

Ethan is a manager in a large health care system involved with the operation and maintenance of the system’s electronic health record system. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in health care management and has worked for several health care companies since his graduation. Ethan has been labeled a “whistleblower” within his company because he experienced a discriminatory insult from his supervisor and peers that he reported to Human Resources. As a result, he has been passed over for a number of promotions which he feels is the result of his whistleblower status. What are possible options for Ethan?
