As our healthcare delivery systems begins to experience one of the most massive transitions in history, I thought I'd remind myself and my peers about ACHE's Ethical Policy Statements. Maybe it is feeling thankful for where I've been and for what I've received, or the reflection I experience each year around this time. Whatever it is that is motivating this urge to share my ethical principles, I do so happily.
Pay close attention to those for:
- Ethical Issues Related to a Reduction in Force
- Decisions Near the End of Life
- Ethical Issues Related to Staff Shortages
The first one relates to our current economic condition and the second two relate to decisions that will be made as we address reform to our healthcare delivery system.
