Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this chapter was to critically analyze the codes of ethics of currently operating health care medical institutions in the state sector in Poland, as well as to identify appropriate solutions for their standardization in order to create a unified code of ethics that would combine the code of business ethics, the code of conduct for employees, the code of professional practice, the set of rights and duties into a whole, thus creating a basic mechanism to ensure full professionalism in their operation. This work analyzes, among other things, the existing rights and obligations of the patient, interpersonal staff/patient relations, standards of ethical behavior for management, and the issue of social responsibility. Unfortunately, the analysis is not detailed due to the small number of factual analyses and studies available, as well as the multifaceted nature of the subject matter, which requires effective communication-participation of all professional communities, a baseline analysis, knowledge of laws and regulations, estimation of risks, or knowledge of the industry and its market situation.
