title: Trust and the ethics of health care institutions.
abstract: Though trust is essential to relationships between people, including that between patient and clinician, its role in organizational ethics is largely unexplored. Nonetheless, trust is also ideally a part of the relationship between patient and health care institution, both because it is desirable in and of itself, and because it makes for better medical care.
