The promises and limitations of codes of medical ethics as instruments of policy change
Codes of medical ethics (codes) are part of a longstanding tradition in which physicians publicly state their core values and commitments to patients, peers, and the public. However, codes are not static. Using the historical evolution of the Canadian Medical Association's Code of Ethics as an illustrative case, we argue that codes are living, socio‐historically situated documents that comprise a mix of prescriptive and aspirational content.

Life Interrupted
A growing number of individuals require health services to manage multiple chronic conditions (i.e., complex chronic disease), yet little is known about their experience. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of complex chronic disease on the lives of individuals receiving hospital care. Ninety-five participants were interviewed between February and June 2011 and shared their views on how illness impacted their lives. Interviews…
The care delivery experience of hospitalized patients with complex chronic disease
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated what is important in care delivery from the perspective of hospital inpatients with complex chronic disease, a currently understudied population. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with inpatients at a continuing care/rehabilitation hospital (n = 116) in Canada between February and July 2011. DESIGN: The study design was mixed methods and reports on patient characteris…
Canadian national surveys on pandemic influenza preparations
Results suggest Canadians trust public health officials to make difficult decisions, providing emphasis is maintained on reciprocity and respect for individual rights. Canadians also support international obligations to help poorer countries and associated efforts to save lives outside the country, even if intra-national efforts are reduced
Priority setting of ICU resources in an influenza pandemic
Our findings underscore the importance of public consultation in pandemic planning for sustaining public trust in a public health emergency. Participants appreciated the empirical and ethical uncertainty of decision-making in an influenza pandemic and demonstrated nuanced ethical reasoning about priority setting of intensive care resources in an influenza pandemic. Policymakers may benefit from a better understanding the public's empirical and et…
Restrictive Measures in an Influenza Pandemic
The duty to care in an influenza pandemic
Evidence and Effectiveness in Decisionmaking for Quarantine
When public health decisionmakers turned to quarantine during the recent severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, difficult questions were raised about the legitimacy and acceptability of restrictive measures to attain public health goals. SARS also brought to light how scientific uncertainty can permeate public health decisionmaking, leading us to think about the relationship between the adequacy of evidence of the effectiveness of an …
