Clinical Ethics Committees

Clinical ethics committee or healthcare ethics or hospital ethics committee emerged in the Unites States during the1970s. They have a multidisciplinary membership structure aimed at thorough discussion and debate among representatives of different perspectives. The number of members may vary from 5 to 20. In setting up an HEC one should try to balance its membership. In general, healthcare ethics committees have three functions: education, case review and recommendation or formation of policies and guidelines. Positive group dynamics and support of the hospital administration are also essential for ensuring an HEC’s success.
