There are statutory, regulatory, and accreditation requirements for healthcare organizations to have, or have access to, a functioning ethics committee.

However, many organizations have not dedicated sufficient resources to developing such a group. This webinar will provide the information needed to build a strong, high-functioning bioethics committee that will serve your organization well.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

Recruit the right people for your committee
Develop new member orientation materials
Articulate the core functions of an ethics committee
Provide structure for ethics consultation
Promote access to ethics consultation within your organization

WEBINAR DETAILS

How many times a week do you wrestle with difficult clinical issues that involve complex moral and ethical components with no clear-cut answers? How often do your colleagues struggle with moral distress over clinical decisions and resource allocations? How many times have you reread a clinical policy and recognized that there are ethical components that are inadequately addressed? A well-functioning bioethics committee can assist with all these issues and more!
