title: Editorial: Broadening implementation of a preventive ethics approach.
abstract: We find the PE approach as part of the VA's IE program an excellent model from which all can learn. We have offered some additional issues for consideration on the basis of our own work and that of others. We hope that the combination of those ideas and the work of Foglia et al. will further advance the promotion and adoption of PE as a means to improve quality and minimize the occurrence of potentially harmful ethics conflicts.
