Ethical Frameworks

Meaning

Ethical frameworks are systematic sets of moral principles and rules that guide clinical decision-making and professional conduct, ensuring that medical and wellness practices uphold patient well-being, autonomy, and justice. In the hormonal health space, these frameworks are vital for navigating complex issues such as informed consent for hormone therapies, the equitable distribution of resources, and the responsible use of genetic information. Adherence to a robust ethical structure fosters trust and integrity in the patient-provider relationship.
