Abstract: Ethics consultation is a
service provided in all Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) facilities. We
define ethics consultation as a service
provided by an individual ethics
consultant, ethics consultation team, or
ethics committee to help patients,
providers, and other parties resolve
ethical concerns in a health care setting.
The overall goal of ethics consultation is
to improve health care quality by
facilitating the resolution of ethical
concerns. By providing a forum for
discussion and methods for careful
analysis, effective ethics consultation:
• Promotes practices consistent with
high ethical standards
• helps foster consensus and resolve
conflict in an atmosphere of respect
• honors participants’ authority and
values in the decision-making process
• educates participants to handle
current and future ethical concerns
Ensuring the success of the ethics
consultation service also requires
ongoing evaluation, by which we mean
systematic assessment of the operation
and/or outcomes of a program compared
to a set of explicit or implicit standards,
as a means of contributing to the
continuous improvement of the
program. Evaluation is an important
