Purpose of the Study:

  • To reconcile the use of ethical rules in evaluating healthcare ethics consultants with the principles of ethical particularism.
  • To propose a novel framework for assessing the quality of ethical consultations.

Main Methods:

  • The paper employs a philosophical argumentation approach.
  • It analyzes the functional role of substantive ethical rules in decision-making processes.

Main Results:

  • Ethical rules retain critical function even when deviation is warranted, providing essential context for decisions.
  • A proposed method for evaluating consultants focuses on their communication of ethical rules as presumptions.

Conclusions:

  • Evaluating consultants requires assessing whether they present ethical rules as presumptions, allowing for justified deviation.
  • This approach integrates the value of ethical rules with the flexibility required in practical healthcare ethics.
