Dialogue to Action: Lessons Learned from Some Family Members of Deceased Patients at an Interactive Program in Seven Utah Hospitals

Dialogue to Action is a program we developed to establish a link hospital ethics committees (HECs) and the public. We began Dialogue to in 1995 as a pilot program to consider how ethics committees should their role. We described the format of this program and the results the first Dialogue to Action in another publication. Now, the program has completed at seven Utah hospitals, which has enabled us to validate the from the first program and learn substantially more information. In article, we make our findings and methods available to others in the hope they will benefit by using Dialogue to Action as a model for other.
