title: Health leaders and ethical dimensions of managing "value adds".
abstract: Value adds refers to an "extra" feature or features of an item of interest (product, service, and person) that go beyond the standard expectations and provide something more, even if the cost is higher to the client or purchaser. This article looks at the ethical dimensions health leaders face in managing value adds and provides recommendations for ensuring that ethical practice is being followed consistently. A summary of several healthcare-related codes of ethics are provided to support the recommendations.
