There exists a paucity of ethics resources tailored to rehabilitation. To help
fill this ethics resource gap, the authors developed an ethics analysis model
specifically for use in rehabilitation care. The Patient-Centered Care Ethics
Analysis Model for Rehabilitation is a process model to guide careful moral
reasoning for particularly complex or challenging matters in rehabilitation. The
Patient-Centered Care Ethics Analysis Model for Rehabilitation was developed over
several iterations, with feedback at different stages from rehabilitation
professionals and bioethics experts. Development of the model was explicitly
informed by the theoretical grounding of patient-centered care and the context of
rehabilitation, including the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health. Being patient centered, the model encourages (1) shared
control of consultations, decisions about interventions, and management of the
health problems with the patient and (2) understanding the patient as a whole
person who has individual preferences situated within social contexts. Although
the major process headings of the Patient-Centered Care Ethics Analysis Model for
Rehabilitation resemble typical ethical decision-making and problem-solving
models, the probes under those headings direct attention to considerations
relevant to rehabilitation care. The Patient-Centered Care Ethics Analysis Model
for Rehabilitation is a suitable tool for rehabilitation professionals to use (in
real time, for retrospective review, and for training purposes) to help arrive at
ethical outcomes.
