“…As Ruth Malone has indicated, 'there is a lot of ethics in the process' of developing health policies (Malone 1999, 16). In a socially just policy development process described by Christy Simpson (see: Kirby, Simpson 2007), protocols are established by authori es which collabora vely func on as the 'author' of the protocol's content and the 'steward' of its development process. The group of authori es consists of primary stakeholders, relevant resource persons and health organiza onal leads.…”

“…33 Meso-level decision-makers are involved in decisions that are oriented inside healthcare organisations, for example, policy making within health organisations that broadly directs healthcare practices and shapes the structural processes of healthcare delivery. 34 At the ‘bedside’, clinicians in consultation with patients decide on the most appropriate treatment or therapy. These are referred to as micro-level decisions.…”

Just healthcare and human flourishing: Why resource allocation is not just enough

Over many years, different theories have been developed to guide the social practices and policies of institutions so that they demonstrate equal concern and respect for all, and satisfy the requirements of justice. Although the normative principles described in a theory may support just institutions, whether this results in just outcomes will depend on how the decisions that implement the principles are made and actioned. As a societal institution charged with caring for people, ensuring just outcomes is a distinct concern in healthcare. Relationships within this institution are constitutive of human flourishing and are also important to justice. Yet, it is not possible to create, maintain or evaluate interpersonal relationships in the same manner as institutions because rather than being universal and impartial, they are particular and partial. Consequently, the link between theories of justice that guide decision-making in relation to structures or institutions, and the relationships that influence those with a proximate effect on individuals, is not explicit. To address this gap, this article argues that a focus on human flourishing provides a nexus between the decision-making for just institutions and just outcomes for individuals.

The membership of the working group consists of primary/core stakeholders, relevant resource persons and health organisational leads.…”

Historically, the triage of temporarily scarce health resources has served narrow utilitarian ends. The recent H1N1 pandemic experience provided an opportunity for expanding the theoretical foundations/understandings of critical care triage in the context of declared infectious pandemics. This paper briefly explores the ethics-related challenges associated with the development of modern critical care triage protocols and provides descriptions of some 'enhanced fairness' features which were developed through the use of an inclusive deliberative engagement process by a Canadian provincial Department of Health.
