Ethics checkup 2012 will address key issues clinicians face everyday. This patient and practice focused seminar will provide take home information we hope will improve your ability to manage tough ethical issues.

Our first topic will explore palliative care and hospice care. The term palliative care is closely associated with hospice care; however palliative care is not just for the terminally ill. This presentation will investigate the differences in these care plans and which is best for the patient.

The next presentation will cover different religious perspectives at the end of life. This lecture will explore the sensitive and important matters that arise when your patient and their family face the transition from life to the after-life.

Medicare compliance is becoming more complex every day. Our discussion on utilization review will update clinicians on the deciphering the maze of rules and regulations associated with today’s healthcare reimbursements.

Finally time will be allotted for case presentations and audience discussion. This section of the conference is designed to take a look at ethically charged cases, thoroughly explore the topics involved, answer questions and review best outcomes.

This Seminar is designed to address these ethical issues faced by the health care team, patients and families, and we hope to provide you with examples and tools to assist you in promoting better care for your patients.
