The Five-Step Model of Ethical Problem-Solving (Textbook, p. 20)
Respond to the “sense” or feeling that something is wrong.
Gather information/assessment.
Identify the ethical problem/moral diagnosis.
Seek resolution.
Work with others to determine a course of action.
Step 1: Respond to the “sense” or feeling that something is wrong.
Intentionally breaking rules vs. honest mistakes
Making decisions under conditions of uncertainty
Time pressure
Other pressures
Step 2: Gather information/assessment
What are the circumstances in which the problem occurs?
Diagnosis
Prognosis
Standard of care
What parties are involved in the conflict of interests?
What are the interests of the different parties?
Step 3: Identify the ethical problem/moral diagnosis
What ethical principles may be violated?
What normative ethics framework justifies these principles?
Is the moral diagnosis the same from the perspectives of different normative frameworks? For example:
Did somebody lie in order to comfort a dying patient?
Did somebody perform an unauthorized procedure in order to save a life?
Step 4: Seek a resolution
Can the conflict be resolved in a way acceptable for all parties involved?
Has somebody done something wrong on all accounts? If so, what should be the consequences?
Is what appears to be morally right in conflict with some rules or procedures? If so, what are the chances for changing the rules?
Step 5: Work with others to determine a course of action
What do your colleagues think about the issue?
What do other professionals in your workplace think about the issue?
What is the position of the administration of the facility?
What do the family members of the patient think about the issue?
