Ethics, Occupational Medicine, and ACOEM

CRC Press eBooks, 2017

From the foreword and the preface to the end of chapter 44 this is a fascinating and thought provoking (if very occasionally to this particular reviewer just provoking!) collection of articles. Although the book is about primary care ethics anyone interested in health care ethics-including those who work in hospitals-will find in it interesting and intellectually nourishing material. Whether you dip or devour, you won't regret.

While it is possible that anyone might object to participating in some form of health care, research or service on the grounds that the action would violate a deeply held belief, the most commonly discussed cases involve individuals with professional obligations; particularly, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and medical students. Institutions, particularly those with a faithbased association or heritage, sometimes express policy decisions in the terms of conscientious obligation. This section of the guide addresses the issues for institutions. Can institutions have a moral conscience? According to Lynch, "[I]t is essential to recognize that institutions, like individuals, can truly harbor conscientious objections to various medical services." 1, p106 Wicclair argues, "It is doubtful that one can refer plausibly to the conscience of a corporation independently of the appeals to conscience of its individual members… [n]evertheless, claims can be advanced on behalf of health care institutions that bear a family resemblance to appeals to conscience by individuals and warrant substantial deference." 2, p142, 148 In other words, although it may be hard to tangibly assign conscience to institutions, but for all practical purposes, they may be considered as having a conscience either to protect or obligate them to perform a service. In re Requena, the New Jersey Superior Court ruled that the hospital must take responsibility in service to patient, not the professional. 3 However, Brown believes we ought to think of institutions as having conscience if we desire pluralism as a good. He writes: Normative pluralism requires fostering different, often competing viewpoints within a single society. This fostering aspect of normative pluralism can be achieved by letting individuals express themselves, including private religious institutions such as church communities, and through quasi-public religious institutions such as private hospitals. One such kind of religious expression is through policies adopted in line with the religious teachings of the group that runs the hospital. 4, p7 Jere Odell, Rahul Abhyankar, Amber Malcolm, Avril Rua.
