This interdisciplinary committee offers guidance to families, providers and treatment teams who are trying to reach an agreement about the best way to care for a patient, helping to provide clarity in cases where difficult ethical issues arise. Consult the Medical Ethics committee when:

• The patient’s treatment goals are unclear.
• There is uncertainty surrounding the decision-making roles of the patient, family, providers and the treatment team.
• The patient, family, providers or the treatment team needs help resolving a conflict.

To request an ethics consult, email ethicsconsultservice@bmcjax.com or contact the House Supervisor.

The Patient relations department serves as a nurse liaison between the patients and their health care providers, working to identify solutions to questions, concerns and problems that may arise. Our goals are to provide patients and families the opportunity to express feelings about issues that have not been resoled, work to resolve these issues in a timely manner, and improve the experiences of our patients and families.
