It's not quite as comfortable, but hospital institutions, like many institutions, have missions, visions, values, and statements. If they're an ethical, robust organization, their values ought to drive their strategic plan and how they roll out their policies and provide their services.
I'm aware, for instance, of a particular small Catholic hospital that opened up a large palliative care unit in Quebec—poor timing—and then had to struggle with whether or not it would eliminate this important service for the people in their community because of their own conscientious view.
