Abstract:
Medical ethics ward rounds truly embody the behavior of respecting human nature and providing humanistic care for patients, which is conducive to the unity of medical scientific judgment and decision-making with medical ethical judgment and decision-making, and the integration of medical ethics and medical skills. Medical ethics ward rounds focus on both doctors and patients. Through reviewing medical records and medical-related documents, interviewing medical staff as well as patients, observing doctor-patient communication, the ward environment and facilities, etc., the medical ethics ward round team conducted comprehensive ethical ward rounds on the clinical departments of the hospital, and evaluated the actual situation of them in terms of patients’ informed consent, privacy protection, application of new clinical technologies, medical quality, ward environment and facilities, professional dedication of medical staff, and so on. The respect of medical staff for the rights and interests of patients is not only the respect for the basic personality of patients, but also the external embodiment of bioethics. Medical ethics ward rounds combined with the PDCA cycle can understand the pain points and difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, as well as the experience of patients in the process of medical treatment, and construct a harmonious doctor-patient relationship through the joint efforts of both doctors and patients.
