MORAL Balance Practical Ethical Decisions at the Bedside

New one-page MORAL Balance Framework

We have created a new one-page version of MORAL Balance.

It lacks the Balancing Box - but may allow for quicker use and documentation.

First - be clear about what decision you are trying to make.

Second - identify and Make sure of the facts and Outcomes of Relevance to the Agents (an agent is anyone who cares about or is impacted by the decision).

Third - Level out the arguments. Try and achieve a Balanced decision.

Fourth - document decision (use the framework to guide documentation or place this sheet in the notes)
