Current through June 25, 2024
1. Preamble: The
					 preservation of the highest standards of integrity and ethical principles is
					 vital to the successful discharge of the professional responsibilities of all
					 speech-language pathologists and audiologists. These Rules of Professional
					 Conduct have been promulgated by the State Board of Health in an effort to
					 stress the fundamental rules considered essential to this basic purpose. Any
					 action that is in violation of the spirit and purpose of these Rules shall be
					 considered unethical. Failure to specify any particular responsibility or
					 practice in these Rules should not be construed as denial of the existence of
					 other responsibility or practices. The fundamental rules of ethical conduct are
					 described in three categories: Principles of Ethics, Ethical Proscriptions, and
					 Matters of Professional Propriety.
2. Principles of Ethics: Five Principles
					 serve as a basis for the ethical evaluation of professional conduct and form
					 the underlying moral basis for these Rules.
Individuals subscribing to these Rules shall observe
						these principles as affirmative obligations under all conditions of
						professional activity.
3.
					 Ethical Proscriptions: Ethical Proscriptions are formal statements of
					 prohibitions that are derived from the Principles of Ethics.
4. Matters of Professional Propriety: Matters
					 of Professional Propriety represent guidelines of conduct designed to promote
					 the public interest and thereby better inform the public and particularly the
					 persons in need of speech-language pathology and audiology services as to the
					 availability and the rules regarding the delivery of those services.
5. Principles of Ethics I:
a. Individuals shall hold paramount the
					 welfare of persons served professionally.
b. Individuals shall use every resource
					 available, including referral to other specialists as needed, to provide the
					 best service possible.
c.
					 Individuals shall fully inform persons served of the nature and possible
					 effects of the services.
d.
					 Individuals shall fully inform persons participating in research or teaching
					 activities of the nature and possible effects of these activities.
e. Individuals' fees shall be commensurate
					 with services rendered.
f.
					 Individuals shall provide appropriate access to records of persons served
					 professionally.
g. Individuals
					 shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid injuring persons in the delivery
					 of professional services.
h.
					 Individuals shall evaluate services rendered to determine
					 effectiveness.
