Patient Experience Learning Forum: Ethics and the Patient Experience

2:30 PM to 3:30 PM

Danto Auditorium, Frankel CVC

This forum will educate participants about the resources available to address ethical dilemmas as they arise in the course of patient care. 

Ethical issues are not uncommon in healthcare settings. They can arise in the form of systemic barriers to delivering healthcare, family disagreements amongst themselves or with the medical team, or scenarios that involve sensitive or complex medical decision making. Specific examples include how to approach a case when a patient lacks capacity or when the healthcare team is navigating end of life treatment and goals of care. Such ethical conflicts or uncertainties are challenging and can impact provider, patient, and family experience. This forum will educate participants about the resources available to address ethical dilemmas as they arise in the course of patient care. It will review risk factors that may predispose patients to ethical issues as well as discuss how integrating ethical considerations into regular practice can empower providers and patients, resulting in a better healthcare experience for everyone involved.
