Guidance for Healthcare Ethics Committees

Last Saturday at the ASBH Annual Meeting, I enjoyed the "meet the author" session for Cambridge University Press' new Guidance for Healthcare Ethics Committees.  



This is great little primer on core procedural and substantive issues that ethics committees face.  Thousands of hospitals, long-term care facilities, and others should get copies for their committee members.  



But I want to echo one of Jessica Berg's critical (though overwhelmingly positive and supportive) comments on the book:  it should be supplemented by additional online resources.  Even collecting already-existing resources would be a value.  Not every region has good educational and networking opportunities like those offered in West Virginia and Maryland.
