Preferred term

ethics in health care  

Definition

  • Although health care is primarily delivered to individual patients, health care ethics examines issues that relate to many stakeholders, including patients (first and foremost), families, providers, institutions, third-party payers, and society. Ethics in health care can richly overlap with other areas of ethical enquiry such as organizational and business ethics, as well as research and public health ethics.
