  15. Group Activity InstructionsHandouts 2.1 and 2.2 (25 min) Individually (15 min) • Rate 5 ethics issues in Handout 2.1. • Determine priority of all 5 ethics issues; record in Final Rankings box at bottom of handout. In groups (10 min) • Compare and discuss individual rationales for rating ethics issues. • Indicate on Handout 2.2 which issues, based on the ratings, will be referred to leadership for approval.

  16. When an Ethics Issue Is Not Selected for a PE ISSUES Approach • If not the highest priority, ethics issue stays intracking tool to be addressed at later date. • Leadership designates different approach. • PE team supports other group in addressing ethics issue. • If ethics issue doesn’t warrant further involvement of PE team, PE coordinator closes loop.

  17. If Leadership Disagrees with the PE Team’s Prioritization • Leaders may have additional knowledge and reasoning for adjusting priorities and should provide that rationale during discussion. • Keep item on list. It will likely be addressed when there is reasonable time to do so, especially if it is unlikely to be addressed through other means.

  18. If Leadership Proposes an Issue That Is Not Appropriate for PE • Ask leadership for clarification on what the ethics gap may be, and use the appropriateness criteria as needed to assist in the discussion and negotiation. • If it’s clearly not a PE issue, the PEC may recommend other avenues (i.e., who should address the issue). • If it’s outside the PE team’s area of expertise, make it clear that the team will require specific resources to address the issue (e.g., patient safety, subject matter expert). • If the issue is appropriate for the ISSUES approach, add it to the tracking tool.
