24th Annual Ethics Conference- Considering Justice in an Unjust World
Overview
This conference will explore the concept of justice in health care and the effect that racial, ethnic, gender and status disparities have on access to health care. We will explore our deeply held values and the impact of personal and professional biases on our understanding of justice. We will explore the complexities in delivering equal and equitable care to all pediatric patients. Utilizing case-based discussion, ethics faculty and other health care professionals and health system leaders will guide inquiry into complex cases, recognizing the disparities and systemic issues that impede just care. We will learn about advocacy at the national, state, and local levels and a myriad of ways to enact our moral agency to improve care for all pediatric patients.
This conference will be held only in-person at Children's Hospital Colorado and live-streamed at Children's Hospital Colorado, Colorado Springs location. This conference is not being offered virtually.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the different concepts of justice.
- Apply lessons learned from the pandemic (so far) to improve fair allocation of scarce resources in the everyday circumstances of scarcity in US health care.
- Discuss the difference between equal and equitable and why to look for disparities to achieve justice.
- Assess personally and professionally held biases impacting relationships and care.
- Identify barriers to healthcare access and realizing health equity.
- Identify the rights of children in migration, the challenges they face in realizing those rights, and the myriad ways that people can advocate for them.
- Develop skill to mitigate the effects of structural inequity and implicit biases. Describe the interactions between health care inequities and advocacy efforts at multiple levels of government.
Learner Outcome
Participants will report an increased knowledge of justice in healthcare and how our organization is enacting moral agency collectively and individually to improve just, ethical, and fair healthcare delivery.
