Case Consultation

The development of ethics case consultation over the past 30 years, initially in North America and recently in Western Europe, has primarily taken place in the secondary or tertiary healthcare settings. The predominant model for ethics consultation, in some countries overwhelmingly so, is a hospital-based clinical ethics committee. In the United States, accreditation boards suggest the ethics committee model as a way of meeting the ethics component of the accreditation requirement for payment by Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), and in some European countries, there are legislatory requirements or government recommendations for hospitals to have clinical ethics committees. There is no corresponding pressure for primary care services to have ethics committees or ethics consultants to advise clinicians, patients, and families on the difficult ethical decisions that arise in clinical practice.

In this chapter, Mark Britnell focuses on Israel’s healthcare system, one of the best-kept secrets in healthcare. He looks at how Israel has achieved a primary care-led health system with four health maintenance organizations (HMOs) providing citizens with both choice and comprehensive cover. Primary and community care spend first exceeded that of secondary and acute care 20 years ago, but it has taken time. Its origins can be traced back to 1911 when an orchard worker had his arm severed and 150 immigrant workers joined together to form a mutual aid healthcare organization called Clalit, a non-governmental, non-profit entity. They knew that to help themselves they had to help each other, and Clalit is now the largest HMO in Israel with 14 hospitals and more than 1,200 primary and specialized clinics. The health system of Israel is not perfect but is highly innovative—not least in its use of patient information—and deserves attention.
