Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to provide a summary discussion of healthcare reform, frame it in an ethical context, and present the necessity for oncology nurses to consider the important ethical considerations that accompany any decisions for change. The resulting implications for oncology nursing are presented with recommendations that the issues of healthcare reform be incorporated into oncology nursing research, clinical practice, administration, and education. All components of the profession have a contribution to make as proposals for change move from public debate to the enactment of national initiatives.
