Livre

Edité par Humana Press - 1994

In The Health Care Ethics Consultant, a panel of 15 health care ethicists and scholars in medicine, philosophy, theology, and law hammer out a standard of care governing the now decisively emergent practice of ethics consultation in the health care community. They debate such issues as: Who should be considered health care ethics consultants? To whom should they give advice? What should be their responsibilities and training? And should there be some kind of accreditation or certification program? The authoritative contributors here develop, as an alternative to certification, a 'profile" of the professional health care ethics consultant and describe what they believe that person's requisite knowledge, skills, and character traits ought to be. Also included is a thorough analysis of legal liability by a respected law firm, a critical overview of the education and training needed for the position, and a discussion of minimal working conditions
The Health Care Ethics Consultant offers important insights into, and ideas about, the role and training of the new generation of advisors - health care ethics consultants who are today everywhere engaged in helping the medical establishment grapple with the increasingly complex ethical issues raised by advancing medical technology
