In recent years, there has been increased emphasis on providing care outside of the walls of traditional healthcare institutions. This shift has given prominence to a set of ethical issues quite distinct from those encountered in traditional healthcare settings. This module focuses on home care, and examines a number of ethical issues in providing and receiving care with severely limited resources, in relative isolation from other clients and providers, and in a variety of physical environments. Emphasis is placed on the frequent requirement to balance the competing tensions of respect for client autonomy and promotion of their well-being.
