All manner of medical practitioners have had their scruples
dissected ad infinitum. In spite of the attention paid to medical
ethics and bioethics, little has been paid to the ethical roles and
responsibilities of those who are ultimately in charge of hospital
governance: hospital trustees. Deriving from a Hastings Center
research project involving meetings with a national task force of
experts and extensive interviews with 98 nonprofit hospital
trustees and CEOs over a two-year period, The Ethics of Hospital
Trustees shows that the decisions made by these often overlooked
members of the health community do raise important ethical issues,
and that ethical dimensions of trustee service should be more
explicitly recognized and discussed.Practical as well as
theoretical, The Ethics of Hospital Trustees uncovers four basic
principles: 1. Fidelity to mission; 2. Service to patients; 3.
Service to the community; and 4. Institutional stewardship. In
delineating the extremely important functions of hospital trustees,
from patient safety to financial responsibility, the contributors
outline not only how hospital trustees do perform -- they give a
fresh understanding to how they should perform as well.
