Abstract
Through a detailed treatment of an ethics consulting case study, the authors identify the need to enhance the ethical culture in the health care environment of Children’s Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A. Their models and methods of managerial ethics consulting demonstrate the value added to the client health care culture by professionally addressing stages in the consulting process. The benefits to domestic and international children’s medical centers, other health care organizations in a European context, purchasing agents of managerial ethics consultancy services and other managerial ethics consultants are highlighted.
