References

Charity Scott’s famous reference to “Doctors as Advocates, Lawyers as Healers” has become a sort of rallying cry for interprofessional collaboration to improve health outcomes, with doctors standing in for all health care, public health, and bioethics professionals, and the client being patient or population. The original article, however, focused on what patient care would look like as a fiduciary relationship. The article “explores whether viewing doctors as advocates and lawyers as healers, consistent with our core understandings of the professional and ethical responsibilities of practitioners in each profession, might improve the prospects for conflict resolution in health care.” Scott, C., “Doctors as Advocates, Lawyers as Healers,” Journal of Public Policy & Law 29, no. 2 (2008): 331–398, at 333.Google Scholar
