Abstract

This article is a review of both the functions and roles played by ethics committees in hospital establishments, and respectively of the challenges they are confronted with, in the general context of activities concerned with organizational ethics. Furthermore, we analyse international good practices, such as they intervene in the organization of ethical programs, and also the place the committees take up within these programs. Our qualitative research is based on the analysis of the websites of 144 hospitals from Romania, classified within the first three competence levels, and aims at highlighting the fact that ethics committees do not have sufficient visibility, which is certainly not beneficial to patients. In this context, our research demonstrates that there is plenty space for improvement in quality of care based on ethics program and its tools and the experience of other countries could serve as a viable guide.
