COVID-19: Ethical Issues in the Management of COVID-19
Overview
June 25 | 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. EST
Speakers in this webinar address thorny ethical issues that have arisen in the context of scarce resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the challenges presented by the absence of uniform statewide ethics guidelines. The 2015 Ventilator Guidelines of the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law are addressed, and the various contested grounds for making triage decisions including age, disabilities and long-term survival. Immunities for providers and triage committee members are also discussed, and the limits of such immunities.
