Ethics and Legal Issues in Pediatric Healthcare

This paper advances a new paradigm in clinical ethics education that not only emphasizes development of individual cli but also focuses on the institutional context within which health care professionals work. This approach has been applied to the goal of improving the care provided to critically and terminally ill adults. The model has been adopted by about thirty hospitals and nursing homes; additional institutions will soon join the program, entitled Decisions Near the End of Life . Here, we describe the history and rationale for this approach, its goals, pedagogical assumptions, and design.
