The HEC as it has traditionally operated, particularly in its function of case consultation, has typically focused on person-to-person, bedside-level conlicts or uncertainties: examination of conlicts between care team and patient or family about appropriate care; conlicts, miscommunications, or inadequate communication between teammembers or services involved in the care of an individual patient; or implications of policy innovations or changes on particular individuals. his chapter looks at the HEC as an organizational function, and asks how the ethics service in a healthcare organization (HCO) can be most useful in, accountable to, and responsible for, the organization as a whole. In fact, this particular role of the HECs is not so much a diference in function as a shit of perspective or focus, from the individual symptom expressed in an ethics case consultation to consideration of the possible structural causes or systemic obstacles it may represent. As a irst approximation, our ethics committees represent a social activism that has been institutionalized. hey arise out of, and continually respond to, changing social needs. Committees are typically multidisciplinary and multidepartmental. he committee is a minicommunity within the institution, with diversity, diferent points of view, and diferent priorities. Yet, the committee has shared values, and remains a community of commitment and discernment, and is a place to which we bring our whole moral selves, not just our professional ethical selves.
