  1. Clinical Ethics and Professional Integrity: A Comment on the ASBH Code.David M. Adams - 2024 - HEC Forum 36 (4):501-511.
    _The Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibilities for Healthcare Ethics Consultants_ instructs clinical ethics consultants to preserve their professional integrity by “not engaging in activities that involve giving an ethical justification or stamp of approval to practices they believe are inconsistent with agreed-upon standards” (ASBH, 2014, p. 2). This instruction reflects a larger model of how to address value uncertainty and moral conflict in healthcare, and it brings up some intriguing and as yet unanswered questions—ones that the drafters of the (...)

  • Using the family covenant in planning end-of-life care: Obligations and promises of patients, families, and physicians.David J. Doukas - unknown
    Physicians and families need to interact more meaningfully to clarify the values and preferences at stake in advance care planning.

This paper proposes using the family covenant as a preventive ethics process designed to improve end-of-life planning by incorporating other family members—as agreed to by the patient and those family members—into the medical care dialogue. The family covenant formulates advance directives in conversation with family members and with the assistance (...)
