Abstract
How should health professionals approach the ethical issues surrounding patient autonomy, family dynamics, and end-of-life decisions? What ethical issues arise from religious and cultural diversity? How does an organization's ethical culture influence decision-making? Which values should determine resource allocation? These are some of the ethical issues addressed in Ethics in Health Care, an 12-DVD educational series developed by the Provincial Health Ethics Network (Alberta, Canada). Accompanying the series are a list of supplementary readings and discussion questions to provoke thought and deliberation in both individual and group settings, which can help health care providers deal with ethical issues that arise in practice. See the individual records for each of the individual DVDs.
