Important outcomes of moral case deliberation: a Euro-MCD field survey of healthcare professionals’ priorities

Abstract

The findings indicate a need for a broad instrument such as the Euro-MCD. Outcomes related to better interactions between professionals and patients must also be included in the future. The empirical findings raise the normative question of whether outcomes that were perceived as less important, such as <i>moral</i> reflexivity and <i>moral</i> attitude outcomes, should still be included. In the future, a combination of empirical findings (practice) and normative reflection (theories) will contribute to the revision of the instrument.
