growth rates. The ADB Bank released a report looking

Refining
and Implementing the Tavistock Principles for Everybody
in Health Care
The ethicist Will Gaylin argued that healthcare reform
often fails because it attempts technical solutions
to ethical problems. Agreeing with this position,
the Tavistock Group tried to develop ethical principles
that might be useful to everybody involved in health
care. They were intended for those who are responsible
for the healthcare system, those who work in it, and
those who use it. This article describes the origins
of the principles, discusses the thinking behind them,
considers how they might be used, provides case studies,
and reflects on where the venture might go now.
