Cooperation
and collaboration among you and your healthcare colleagues is critical
to patient welfare. Maintaining team cohesion in the midst of daily
pressures can be difficult, particularly in ethical situations for
which evidence-based diagnostics do not provide clear-cut solutions.
In this learning activity, you’ll explore three scenarios
in which differences in individual values and perspectives challenge
team cohesion. As you explore these cases, consider:
Is it
possible to serve the best interests of your patients and maintain
team cohesion
without compromising your personal and professional
values?
How,
if at all, does an ethical decision-making model help you?
How does
a well-developed interdisciplinary collaboration help you care for
patients in ethically challenging situations?
You can explore the links on the left in any sequence. Select any
case to begin.
