HealthCare Code of Conduct

HealthCare Code of Conduct

Introduction

The Code of Conduct specifies the ideal behavior of health professionals, interpreting moral norms and social behavior that have characterized ancestrally professing any of the health careers; also identified humanist practice and together constitute the image and prestige of those who make health teams. These behaviors also foster harmony in the individual performance of the group responsible for providing services.

The purpose of this analysis is to present a contextual discussion of the evolution of McGill University healthcare ethical code of conduct. We begin by providing a general overview of the conceptualization of the necessity for ethical considerations in healthcare services. Additionally, this analysis includes a timely discussion of the most influential ethical codes guiding the actions of various health professions, including the American Medical Association (AMA), American Society of Public Administrators (ASPA), World Medical Association (WMA), Health Informatics Professionals, and the Hippocratic Oath. In order to demonstrate the link between ethical theory and practice, an in-depth discussion of the values of healthcare professionals - coupled with a detailed ethical decision-making model for healthcare professions - is presented.

This discussion and proposed model serve as a practical guide for ethical decision-making in the healthcare context. We conclude our analysis with a comprehensive summary of ethical findings presented throughout this paper, along with recommendations for future ethical consideration
