ABSTRACT

This work was carried out on the background related to the development of ethics and conceptual analysis of the quality of medical care, in order to analyze the importance of ethics as a key element in the quality of care. Medical ethics has been known since antiquity and has been commensurate with the particular circumstances, environmental conditions and the dominant philosophical thought of each period. The great changes in medicine in the scientific, technological, social and economic spheres, have contributed to the dehumanization and to increase the distance between doctor and patient. The foregoing is sustained in that nearly half of the reports of dissatisfaction among patients for the health services received is due to communication disorders. Throughout the history of mankind several documents have been created in order to govern the conduct of the doctors, as the Hippocratic Oath, which constitutes the most commonly cited code that guides the ethical conduct of health professionals. There is a dialectical relationship between medical ethics and quality, the first being a vital link in the quality of health services. Thus the fulfillment of the principles of medical ethics govern the conduct of health professionals towards service excellence. So both are priority strategies for the development of health institutions.
