Modern healthcare abounds in ethical dilemmas and patient advocates play a unique role in the resolution of these challenges. Ethical practice usually involves poignant choices between and among competing values, principles, and virtues. This session will explore some common ethical dilemmas in healthcare, several approaches to dilemma resolution that involve principles and theories, and ethical perspective taking. The contrasting issues of traditional right-to-die cases and cases involving issues of futility (the so-called ‘reverse’ of the right-to-die cases) will help focus the discussion.
At the end of this 90-minute presentation, participants will be able to:
- Identify ethical issues that patient advocates frequently encounter
- Describe and utilize at least two frameworks for resolving ethical issues in healthcare
- Contrast the ethical issues involved in right-to-die cases with those of medical futility cases
