Organizational Ethics in Practice: Examples from a Large Pediatric Healthcare System.

AbstractOrganizational ethics (OE) in healthcare has gained prominence, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article provides detailed guidance for establishing OE services and conducting OE consultations, drawing on examples from Seattle Children's Hospital. We define OE, compare it with clinical ethics, and describe consultation processes and procedures. Examples illustrate OE's role in guiding institutional decisions, promoting equity, and managing resource constraints. We conclude with recommendations for OE program development and integration.
