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).
