Activity Description

A team of collaborating professionals now manages patient care. This model provides coordinated, cost-effective, and high-quality health care. Ethics serve as the guiding principles for healthcare professionals, ensuring that they prioritize their patients' well-being, treat patients with dignity and respect, and foster trust and confidence in the healthcare system.

Numerous medical ethics guidelines from medical societies, other healthcare organizations, and government agencies are available. However, variability between them only raises questions about which rules are essential and which are not. Understanding the origins of and a way to apply medical ethics principles systematically will help healthcare professionals develop a defensible hierarchy or algorithm for prioritizing the principles from among these various organizations' guidelines. This topic discusses the current understanding of the origins and development of medical ethics and emphasizes the pivotal role of interdisciplinary teams in applying these principles to patient care.
