Accolades:
A publication takes years in the making and includes input from
countless numbers of individuals, both directly and indirectly. Therefore, the
author wishes to thank those who helped make this book a reality.
First and foremost, my family has helped me make this a reality with
their love and support - thank you Johnnie and Brett. During my family
discussions and with the help of Drs. Ida Schick and Michael Chaiken in
1999 to 2002, our first article on the topic of ethics education was produced.
Ida continues to help with articles and research on the topic and is a catalyst
for change in health ethics.
A major portion of this book was peer-reviewed by Drs. Newsom,
Lumsden, Altekruse, Keller and Te
ell from Denton, Texas. Their
contributions are significant, especially during the creation of the 270
objectives that are most helpful for improving healthcare. Final reviewers
include Drs. Stiles, Fitzpatrick, Broussard, Aligeti and Dr. Gritzmacher who
all found those “last minute” changes that make the reading more “user
friendly.” Also, my graduate and undergraduate students contributed in
countless ways to co
ect the “trees” within the forest. And a final thank you
goes to my editor – Dorothy Silvers. She makes the complex simplistic.
Health Ethics Typology XXXXXXXXXX
Prelude - Author:
This typology is based on the author's previous publications, academic
and operational practitioners input, the literature, and accreditation
equirements for ethics education in healthcare. The book focuses on a
typology of ethics education in healthcare due to the need for a focused
manuscript that uses content validity to illustrate the hierarchy of ethical
easoning in healthcare. No other manuscript
ings together the six ethics
education domains identified here as required for appropriate ethics
education in healthcare, and it uses an “Applied Ethics” framework.
Within the context of the two Bloom et al XXXXXXXXXXcognitive and
affective educational domains, the typology presents six ethics domains: 1.
Decision ethics, 2. Professional ethics, 3. Clinical ethics, 4. Business ethics,
5. Organizational ethics, and 6. Social ethics. After first presenting the issues
involved in the six domains, there are 270 ethics educational objectives
presented for use in healthcare instruction and operations.
A discussion is provided on how healthcare can be improved by
including more specific ethics education objectives within healthcare
programs. The final chapter provides recommendations on creating a
taxonomy based on the typology developed here.

Prelude – Medical Perspective:
From a physician’s perspective, this book is the most comprehensive
compilation of information on health ethics in the literature. While most of
the researched areas in health ethics focus on the very important domain of
clinical ethics, the other domains are ever so often left to be circumscribed to
the clinical domain. This excellent typology is a much needed compilation,
filling in the void for an exhaustive text on health ethics.
This pioneering book begins with a succinct introduction to the
numerous issues su
ounding health ethics, capturing the reader’s fascination
with a myriad of information and numerous tidbits; highly relevant in both
professional and personal settings.
Without a doubt, this book is a must read for all cu
ent and future
providers, and others who are interested in improving healthcare spanning
local, national, and global perspectives. This book will serve as a
comprehensive reference for healthcare improvement while also being a
worthy guide to enhance your personal health.

Note for Reading Style and Copyright Laws in the E-book era:
This book is intended to be read using a computer. Although one may
make a printed version and read from “hard copy,” it is the intent of Russ
Porter to decrease the amount of paper used by publishers. That goal is
important to keep the earth more “green.”
The publisher has intentionally created a double space between lines
to help make your reading more pleasurable (except for the contents and
index pages). With only one space between lines in an E-book, readers have
indicated their eyes become weary quicker than the two space medium.
