robust, yet careful analysis of a given organization culture or way of doing things. Moreover,

upon completion of the analysis, the organization can thereafter concentrate on developing a

robust ethics infrastructure that cuts through all aspects and functions of the organization or

implications for healthcare including any benefits or shortcomings of the ethics infrastructure.
