GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS
OVERVIEW
The proliferation and ubiquity of technology has presented
great
advantages and great challenges. The best practices of
companies and
organizations now include governance departments and
initiatives to
oversee ethics in their professional environments. Technology
is also
governed by legal parameters and legislation is emerging in
an attempt
to rein in a free and unregulated Internet/World Wide Web.
The institutional review board (IRB) concept resulted from a
series of
events that violated human rights in research. IRBs are also
known as
independent ethics committees, ethical review boards, and
research
ethics boards. These boards set forth standards for
biomedical and
behavioral research involving humans. The purpose is to
protect the
human rights of participants in a research study.
Review protocols related to abusive studies such as the Nazi
experimentations and Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The National
Research
Act of 1974 produced the Belmont Report, which sets forth
criteria for
primary ethical principles in human subjects review such as
respect,
beneficence, and justice. An IRB looks for balanced subject
risk and
benefits, and outlines informed consent from participants.
Link to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the
Resources for
information on the IRB process at Capella. Additional
information on
IRBs, the project management office (PMO), and IT codes of
conduct can
be found in this unit’s studies, on the Internet, or in
Capella
Library journal resources.
