PY - 2018 T2 - Ethics in Physical Therapy: A Case-Based Approach AB - Reports of ethics violations in government, industry, and the financial world have captured the attention of the public in recent times. The omnipresent nature of today’s news media contributes to the revelation of misdoings in a way never seen before. In every sector of the economy, ethical violations make news. In medicine, the topic of ethics evolved slowly from the 2500-year-old Oath of Hippocrates over many centuries to the biomedical ethics of today (Edelstein, 1967; Sugarman, 2000). The body of knowledge around ethical theory is evolving rapidly now, fed by challenges that the healthcare delivery system places on practitioners as well as significant changes in healthcare that present new challenges for providers such as the use of digital healthcare data (Aicardi et al., 2016; Means et al., 2015; Pasztor, 2015; Wells et al., 2015).
