Are You Prepared to Meet the Pediatric Palliative Care Patient Who Presents an Ethics Challenge?

Children's specialty hospitals are few and far between - with some states having only one. It is not uncommon for general community hospitals and academic medical centers to provide adult-focused palliative care services. However, an occasional pediatric patient who may require palliative care services in your hospital could exceed your HPM expertise or challenge your framing of ethical challenges and their resolution. This presentation will address the need for sufficient content material and clinical exposure for the HPM clinician trainee and practitioner to address pediatric-specific HPM and ethics issues.

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this conference, attendees should be able to:
  • Identify 2 ethical frameworks beyond the classic use of the four main bioethics principles that can aid in analyzing and resolving ethical tensions in pediatric cases.
  • List pertinent attributes of shared decision-making in pediatric palliative care.
  • Identify common and distinct attributes of pediatric palliative care and ethics consultation.
