In December 1990, an empirical study assessing hospital ethics committee (HEC) success was completed. Success was measured in terms of the number of interventions undertaken by the committees in four functional areas: education, guidelines development, prospective and retrospective case review. Some commonly quoted success determinants, such as multidisciplinarity, physician chairpersons, and a high institutional status of the chairperson were found not to foster success; the latter two, actually decreased committee success.
1990年12月，一项评估医院伦理委员会（HEC）成效的实证研究完成。成效是根据委员会在四个功能领域所进行干预的数量来衡量的：教育、指南制定、前瞻性和回顾性病例审查。一些经常被提及的成功决定因素，如多学科性、医生担任主席以及主席的高机构地位，被发现并不能促进成功；后两者实际上降低了委员会的成效。
