Ethical challenges persist throughout healthcare and over the last 40 years and more organizations have hired ethicists or teams of ethicists to help identify and address them. Strategies and tools used by healthcare ethicists have evolved over this time. Most commonly capacity-building (education) and ethical frameworks are used to support ethical decision-making within organizations. In this article, we argue that traditional, technical tools (like frameworks and education) are insufficient for addressing ethical issues in healthcare and supporting the changes in behaviour that are required to make sustainable, widespread improvement. We maintain that many ethical issues in healthcare are inherently adaptive (rather than solely technical) issues and advocate for an ethics approach that uses adaptive leadership skills and strategies to help ethicists, clinicians, staff, and organizations to navigate complex ethical challenges and make sustainable behavioural and organizational change.

Trillium Health Partners' (THP's) Regional Ethics Program led a quality improvement project to explicitly address equity, diversity, and inclusion and anti-racism and anti-oppression in its IDEA: Ethical Decision-Making Framework. Various groups, encompassing diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, completed a short survey including demographic and open-ended questions. Survey responses revealed gaps within the IDEA Framework and recommendations for modifications (e.g., editing language to be more accessible and inclusive, placing a greater focus on lived experience). Several themes emerged including explicitness, simplification, and continued learning. This work is of particular interest to health leaders as it aims to expose where bias, power, and privilege exist when addressing ethical dilemmas within healthcare systems. It explicitly addresses implicit bias, discrimination and harassment, reflexivity in care, as well as re-defines and re-imagines ethical principles (e.g., accountability, diversity, inclusivity, justice, relationships, and trust).

Building climate-resilient and low-carbon healthcare systems in Canada: A need for policy shift for a path to net zero.
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2025-03-23 DOI: 10.1177/08404704251323241
Bhavini Gohel, Sara Turcotte

Climate change is straining Canada's health system. Canada pledged to develop climate-resilient and low-carbon sustainable health systems, with a net zero target. Despite this commitment, progress remains slow and fragmented, with many regions lacking cohesive, evidence-based strategies. While some provinces and health authorities have taken the lead, their efforts are hindered by inadequate investment. Limited data on low-carbon resilient strategies led to a comparative policy analysis of similar health systems to identify solutions. Canada can draw lessons from countries like the United Kingdom and Australia, which have committed to net zero health systems supported by robust national strategies. Australia's approach offers a model for Canada to follow, providing a clear governance structure, accountability mechanisms, and coordinated investments. A similar federal strategy could ensure alignment across provinces and drive transformative change. Without urgent action, Canada risks continued health sector emissions, further system deterioration, and rising health impacts, including preventable deaths.

A "code-switching" model for healthcare communication.
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2025-03-23 DOI: 10.1177/08404704251327095
Stacy S Chen

This article examines how technical terminology in public-facing communication creates epistemic barriers that undermine trust between experts and the public-especially in multilingual, multicultural healthcare systems. It argues that health leaders can foster trust by employing a "code-switching" model within institutions and in patient- or public-facing communications. Code-switching is a linguistic phenomenon in which individuals switch between languages, dialects, or language varieties based on the social context. Recognizing "public-speak" and "medical-speak" as distinct codes would facilitate patient understanding of information relevant to their care and promote trust. Health leaders play a crucial role in ensuring that complex medical information is translated into accessible language, bridging the gap between experts and the public.

Producing more effective physician leaders through medical training: Expanding the focus beyond the doctor-patient relationship.
Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2025-03-19 DOI: 10.1177/08404704251327091
Mark Downing

Most of what physicians learn in their training when it comes to ethics focuses on the principles related to the doctor-patient relationship: beneficence, non-maleficence, and autonomy. At a system level, this translates into an obligation for physicians to advocate for their patients based on these principles. Advocacy does not necessarily have answers when resources are scarce, and as a result, physicians often find that they are not "at the table" when important decisions are made at the organizational level. I will argue that for physicians to be more effective leaders within their organizations, there needs to be more of a focus on principle of justice within medical training, specifically when it comes to theories around resource allocation and social justice. This will help physicians to more effectively advocate for their patients, have conversations with healthcare leaders who have different points of view, and participate in organizational decision-making.

This article describes the development of an organization-wide intervention to address moral distress in healthcare. A multidisciplinary team, including researchers and organizational partners, used intervention mapping and the theoretical domains framework to create the moral empowerment system for healthcare. This system encompasses a suite of strategies designed for integration into organizations' operations to empower healthcare professionals individually and collectively to address moral events. This suite includes an ethics education program for healthcare professionals, interprofessional teams, and leaders; moral empowerment consultations; reflective debriefings; and mentoring. An implementation and evaluation plan is also presented, highlighting a staged approach that reflects the organizational context. Ultimately, the approach described here offers healthcare leaders a practical and systematic method to design, implement, and evaluate moral distress interventions, tailoring them to their specific environments.

Discrimination against individuals with Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) challenges adversely influences healthcare. To address shortcomings of existing anti-stigma interventions, a novel eLearning course on dismantling structural stigma was co-designed, piloted, implemented, and evaluated with diverse partners. The course aimed to foster reflection and evidence-informed approaches to recognize and address structural forms of stigma in healthcare contexts. Participants included self-identified health system leaders, influencers, and healthcare professionals (n = 528). Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests on pre- and post-evaluation data suggest that the course was perceived as relevant and useful for participants while enhancing their knowledge and skills. Overall, a web-based interactive eLearning course designed to improve knowledge, skills, and attitudes about structural stigma while challenging, transforming, and enlightening learners' beliefs and assumptions is an accessible tool with potential to produce sustained educational and practice-based outcomes and improve equity for individuals with MHSU challenges.

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are essential professionals within Canadian Team-Based Primary Care (TBPC). RDs utilize practice competencies to ensure provision of high-quality care while working closely with other TBPC members. To fill in the gaps in the literature, the study's objective was to explore RDs' perception of their contributions to TBPC settings and their educational needs. This will help inform health leaders who manage interdisciplinary teams. A survey was distributed to Canadian TBPC RDs. They (n = 73) reported contributing to nutrition care for various populations, managing a large range of nutrition problems, and using competencies from multiple practice domains. Furthermore, they identified their need to enhance their knowledge about cultural safety within TBPC, as well as their interdisciplinary teams' need to increase their awareness of the dietetic scope of practice. Identifying RDs' contributions, competencies, and learning needs helps inform Canadian health leaders to improve care.

In Canada, the provision of Paediatric Palliative Care (PPC) services faces unique barriers due to a large geography and dispersed service population. This review identifies global challenges and strategies to inform efforts in strengthening Canadian PPC access and delivery. Utilizing a rapid review methodology, two databases were searched for publications between 2014 and 2024. Five hundred and ninety-five studies were imported, and 31 retained. Challenges identified in the literature included (i) uncertainty with team roles and responsibilities, (ii) lack of PPC familiarity, and (iii) navigating fragmented health systems. Recommendations included (i) enhancing education, (ii) streamlining access, and (iii) increasing awareness. Concerted effort between health leaders is essential to implement solutions towards a more integrated care system-one that considers the needs of all children. Prioritizing nationwide awareness, access, and capacity-building will ensure PPC meets the needs of all children and families, regardless of location.

Healthcare systems in Canada are under pressure and require change-the status quo is no longer fit for purpose, if it ever was. Innovation is often held up as a cure for what ails us, but shiny new things or novel technologies alone have not been enough. This article will explore the concepts of differentiation and integration as being important drivers in the evolution of living organisms, ecosystems, and complex human organizations. The implications of this deep pattern of systems change are essential to understanding the roles of specialization in medicine, and optionality in primary care. Specifically, overspecialization without attention to the principles of healthcare integration can lead to fragmentation of care and worse patient outcomes. Finally, this article will describe some practical examples of system integration as innovation in the form of better public health and care delivery connections, health homes, and community care coordination centres.

加拿大的医疗保健系统面临压力,需要变革--现状已不再适合目的,如果它曾经适合的话。创新常常被视为治愈疾病的良药,但仅靠闪亮的新事物或新技术是不够的。本文将探讨分化和整合的概念,它们是生物体、生态系统和复杂人类组织进化的重要驱动力。这种深刻的系统变化模式对于理解医学中的专业化和初级医疗中的可选择性的作用至关重要。具体来说,过度专业化而不注意医疗保健一体化的原则,会导致医疗保健的分散和患者治疗效果的恶化。最后,本文将介绍一些系统整合的实际例子,这些例子是以更好的公共卫生和医疗服务连接、健康之家和社区医疗协调中心的形式进行的创新。
