This assignment is about identifying two ways to ensure ethical issues related to competition, marketing, and managed care are properly addressed by institutional ethics committees.

In Chapter 12, Darr (2011, p 306) writes “institutional ethics committees (IECs) should assess prospectively and retrospectively the ethical issues raised in competition, marketing, and managed care. They should review the ethical implications of competitions as it affects their patients, organization, and community”. Consider yourself a member of the IEC. Identify two ways to ensure ethical issues are properly addressed.
