The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH), the organization which certifies ethics consultants, published standards for the conduct of ethics consultations (EC). This national survey of pediatric ethics consultants is the first assessment of pediatric hospitals’ adherence to the ASBH standards. This study found that pediatric hospitals overall have moderate adherence to the ASBH EC standards, with the highest rates occurring for standards that are shared by the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement on ethics consultation. Over 75% of hospitals had experts available for EC and permit any staff member to request EC.
