Goodman, PhD, professor and director of the University of Miami's Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, told"To deny care based on unspecified and unarticulated 'moral, ethical, or religious reasons' opens the door to neglect, abandonment, and suspicion," Goodman said.
Providers must submit written notice of an objection to their supervisor or employer and document it in the patient's medical record. Medical students must notify their educational institution. Objecting to a service cannot result in adverse actions, such as demotion, salary reduction, or loss of privileges. Plus, objecting healthcare providers and insurers will receive immunity from civil liability.
