RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Ethics rounds: affecting ethics quality at all organisational levels JF Journal of Medical Ethics JO J Med Ethics FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 805 OP 809 DO 10.1136/medethics-2018-104831 VO 44 IS 12 A1 Dagmar Schmitz A1 Dominik Groß A1 Charlotte Frierson A1 Gerrit A Schubert A1 Henna Schulze-Steinen A1 Alexander Kersten YR 2018 UL http://jme.bmj.com/content/44/12/805.abstract AB Clinical ethics support (CES) services are experiencing a phase of flourishing and of growing recognition. At the same time, however, the expectations regarding the acceptance and the integration of traditional CES services into clinical processes are not met. Ethics rounds as an additional instrument or as an alternative to traditional clinical ethics support strategies might have the potential to address both deficits. By implementing ethics rounds, we were able to better address the needs of the clinical sections and to develop a more comprehensive account of ethics quality in our hospital, which covers the level of decisions and actions, and also the level of systems and processes and aspects of ethical leadership.
