Description
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many medical, ethical, and
medicolegal changes, including constant adjustments in service guidelines. Continuing
to revise healthcare regulations and guidelines can potentially cause clinical disputes
or medical negligence that require ethical and legal solutions. This study aimed to
determine the ethical and medicolegal aspects of the potential factors that cause
clinical disputes during the pandemic and provide anticipative solutions to national
ethicomedicolegal policies.
METHODS A systematic literature search in PubMed, ScienceDirect, ClinicalKey,
and Google Scholar was performed using keywords “clinical dispute,” “ethics,”
“medicolegal,” “ethicolegal,” and “COVID-19”. The inclusion criteria were articles
that contained information on shortage, justice, ethical distribution in intensive care,
the possibility of lawsuits and disputes among stakeholders during the pandemic,
and stakeholders’ roles in managing the pandemic. Key evidence was analyzed and
synthesized following national ethicomedicolegal policies.
RESULTS We identified 19 articles from the 4 databases. Based on the literature, the
main ethicomedicolegal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic appears in 3 aspects: (1) a
shortage of fair and ethical intensive care services with fair and ethical distribution
efforts, (2) legal protection for medical personnel from legal charges while providing
health services during the pandemic, and (3) the government’s role in managing the
pandemic together with the stakeholders involved.
CONCLUSIONS Ethicomedicolegal clinical dispute management and its norms require
an update, especially when deciding the complexity of COVID-19 service standards.
Ethicomedicolegal professionals are needed as intermediaries to manage
medicolegal changes, including constant adjustments in service guidelines. Continuing

or medical negligence that require ethical and legal solutions. This study aimed to
