Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethics committees often have three primary roles: education, policy development, and individual case review. They provide education on ethical issues to healthcare providers, develop and review policies related to ethical issues in patient care, and review individual cases where ethical dilemmas arise to provide guidance. They are not responsible for determining outcomes of care, and they are composed of a diverse group of healthcare professionals, not primarily physicians.
