The four principles of health care ethics are autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The Four Principles of Health Care Ethics. The basic definitions of each of the four principles of health care ethics are commonly known and used often in the English language, but they take on special meaning when being utilized in a medical setting.
Bioethics is the discipline that addresses ethical issues that arise in the healthcare setting, including those related to life and death, cure and comfort, truth telling and trust reflected in patient care and decision making. These are moral issues central to decision making and the provision of patient care. The concerns of bioethics are the well-being and dignity of the patient; the rights, responsibilities and choices of the patient, family and care team; and matters of justice and access to care.
