Abstract:
In 1996, the Visiting Nurse Association of Boston established an Ethics Advisory Committee to address ethical issues that arise in patient care. This article describes the Committee's development from implementation of an ethics education plan for agency staff, to policy recommendations and consultation for ethical conflicts in patient care. Whether developing an ethics committee or evaluating your current one, this article can be helpful.
