Describe the decisions an administrator would have to make using a utilitarianism approach and describe the expected result(s) from using this approach.

Winchester Hospital is a privately owned institution. The hospital is at full capacity, but the governing board would like to see an increase in revenue. They’ve tasked you, the hospital administrator, with finding ways to accomplish this. If you are able to raise revenue, the board will provide you with a significant year-end bonus.

Currently, 50% of Winchester’s rooms can be converted from having one bed to having two beds, allowing for more patients to be admitted. Doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff are firmly against this move, especially because additional hiring is not planned. These stakeholders make up the vast majority of the hospital workforce.

Evaluate this situation using both the utilitarianism and individualistic (ethical egoism) approaches.

Define each approach.
