Bioethical Controversies in Crisis Standards of Care:
Preparing for the Next Disaster
Crisis Standards of Care (CSC) guide clinicians and healthcare systems in disaster conditions. A key component, these standards are life-support triage protocols which allocate treatment to critically ill adults. This lecture will describe the relevant bioethical values and discuss the active controversies that must be resolved before the next disaster strikes.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the HUGHES AUDITORIUM in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), 1st floor, Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
