One cannot work in the modern healthcare space and not be confronted with ethical issues and situations, regardless of your clinical role. However, as the demands of modern healthcare have grown regarding patient access, clinician productivity and the explosion of digital technology for both the acquisition and storage of clinical data, recognizing and addressing these ethical issues and situations is more challenging than ever before.
