Disclosure: Nothing to Disclose

This highly interactive and case-based session will explore appropriate ethical responses to conflicts among providers, individuals served, and families or loved ones of individuals served. We will begin with a brief ethical analysis of the concepts of person-centered planning and the dignity of risk, then move on to argue through a series of case studies designed to elicit consensus around specific ethical concepts that can be applied to resolve disputes regarding the balance of autonomy and risk. This session will use cases of interest to providers working both in long term care and ID/DD services.

(Note: You do not need to attend Part 1 in order to attend Part 2.)

Learning Objectives:

Define the ethical aspects of person centered planning and the dignity of risk.
Describe the roles of providers, individuals served, and family and loved ones of individuals served in order to understand the moral obligations that attach to each of these groups.
Develop a better ethical understanding of the appropriate mechanisms and outcomes when dealing with conflict around individual care.
