Popis:	This chapter reviews the ethical considerations associated with the health industry’s trends toward consolidations, mergers, and acquisitions. The review of the health-care landscape notes a sustained trend of increasing consolidation activity across all sectors of the health-care system. Several forces that act as influencers of this activity are discussed and examples used to support the key points. The chapter contrasts the desired advantages of consolidation with the inherent risks that also are present in such business decisions. The implications for patient care and research endeavors are noted and an unbiased assessment of consolidation efforts to date is offered. A final word on responding to the ethical challenges concludes the chapter.
