THE AGONY OF CARING: Professionalism and Moral Distress in Healthcare
03/04/2010 - 8:30am 03/05/2010 - 12:30pm
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: The Complexity of the healthcare and reimbursement systems, new technologies, and aspects of the patient/health care professional relationship raise important questions about what it means to be a professional. Moral distress occurs when health care professionals face situations in which they are asked or required to act in ways that violate their personal and professional moral sensibilities. Initial descriptions of moral distress occurred in the nursing literature, and now moral distress is reported and discussed throughout the healthcare professions. Confronted with seemingly impossible moral dilemmas, individual providers as well as organizations struggle with how to understand professional moral distress and in what way to help providers both address it and handle the decisions that must be made in the face of moral distress. ---------------------------------------- Featured Speakers: Cynda H. Rushton, PhD, RN, FAAN - Associate Professor of Nursing at John Hopkins University School of Nursing and nationally recognized expert in bioethics and palliative care. She authored Addressing Moral Distress; Tools for Critical Care Nursing Leaders. ---------------------------------------- Heroes in Health Care Ethics Award: This award recognizes an individual or a group associated with HCECG for exemplary achievement in the field of healthcare ethics.
