Areas of Practice
Healthcare ethics is complex. Canmore Ethics provides expertise across clinical decision making, organizational leadership, and the emerging frontiers of medicine and technology. Our work helps hospitals, health systems, and healthcare companies move beyond compliance to become leaders in ethical practice.
Clinical Ethics
When patients, families, and providers face difficult decisions, a clinical ethicist can help clarify values and guide a path forward. Rather than making decisions on behalf of others, we facilitate ethically sound outcomes that respect all perspectives. Our team has conducted hundreds of clinical ethics consults in the United States and Canada, working in ICUs, long-term care facilities, and diverse community settings.
Organizational Ethics
Healthcare organizations succeed when their systems are designed to anticipate and resolve ethical challenges. We partner with leaders to build sustainable processes that embed ethics into quality improvement, governance, and everyday operations. Our work has ranged from supporting pandemic response at the provincial level to improving ethics capacity inside hospitals.
Artificial Intelligence
Healthcare is being reshaped by machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data. These innovations offer tremendous benefits—from predicting patient needs to personalizing care—but they also carry risks such as bias and privacy loss. We bring expertise in both the promise and pitfalls of new technologies, helping organizations deploy them responsibly.
Innovation & Tools
Ethics consulting is only part of the solution. Many challenges require practical systems that embed ethical insights directly into care. At Canmore Ethics, we are translating our consulting expertise into digital tools that make ethics actionable at scale. Our early work includes Tiller, a platform that supports advance care planning by integrating patients’ values into clinical workflows.
