The UIHC Ethics Consult Service is a resource for patients, family members, or health professionals at UIHC who would like help addressing an ethical question or problem related to a patient's care.

An Ethics Consult involves trained ethics consultants who respond to requests for help from individuals directly involved in a patient's care at UIHC.

Ethics Consults are advisory and can be requested to:

• Identify ethical problems in the care of a patient
• Clarify ethical problems through a careful analysis of the ethical beliefs and values involved
• Promote discussion of ethical beliefs and values with persons directly involved in a patient's care
• Help resolve ethical problems through a process of shared decision-making
