SINOPSIS

Developing a code of ethics for biomedical engineering professionals is a very important first step in clarifying their professional obligations and in helping to establish and maintain their professional autonomy. However, it is only that — a first step. Unless ways can be found to bring the principles contained in this code to bear on the everyday decision making of these professionals, this code will have little practical influence.
One effective way to bring a code of ethics to bear on decision making is to integrate it into organizational compliance programs. Such programs often have company-specific codes of ethics attached to them, and these company-specific codes can either include the principles contained in the professional code of ethics or reference the code by title.
After defining what I take to be the challenge of compliance, I consider four (4) roles that codes of ethics and ethics generally can play in helping to create and sustain programs at the organizational level that integrate ethics and compliance and thereby aim to make a practical difference in the everyday decision making of bioengineering professionals. These four roles include: framing the program, grounding the standards, achieving critical distance, and creating and sustaining an ethical organizational culture.
