Integrated Ethics
In VA, anyone (patients, staff, families) can request an ethics consultation. Staff do not have to ask permission or get approval from anyone to request a consult. A consultation cannot by cancelled by others.
Patients and families can request an ethics consultation without having to go through a VA staff member.
Consultations are confidential, but not anonymous.
There is no financial charge and no penalty.
