A Conversation on Ethical Considerations for a Fair and Effective Health Care System. Year Developed: 2018. Source: Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health. Presenter(s): Chris Feudtner, MD, PhD, MPH; Grace Oei, MD, MA; Chaplain Mark Bartel, M Div, SCC. Type: Webinar Archive. Level: Intermediate. Length: 59 minutes.
Annotation: What ethical considerations should guide the design and evaluation of systems of care for children with medical complexity? There are inevitable tradeoffs that any complex health care system must confront when attempting to achieve multiple worthy goals, from benefitting individual patients and families and securing fair distribution of benefits across populations, to operating in a manner that is transparent and free from conflicts of interest. Discussing the article, Ethical Framework for Risk Stratification and Mitigation Programs for Children with Medical Complexity, the panel shared recommendations that help ensure programs for children with medical complexity avoid potentially ethically problematic situations and practices. A video and presentation slides are available.

The Influence of Character: The Role of Character, Values, and Ethics in Negotiation and Persuasion. Year Developed: 2015. Source: GovLoop. Presenter(s): Jack London. Type: Video. Level: Introductory. Length: 35 minutes.
Annotation: Character at work and life is vital to success. A reputation for strong character and values helps you succeed in influencing and negotiating.

How does character apply to better negotiating? What is the intersection of character, trust, ethics, and leadership? This course is led by bestselling author of “Character: The Ultimate Success Factor,” Dr. Jack London, Chairman of the Consolidated Analysis Center, Incorporated (CACI). The course comprises an overview, 4 lessons, and a post-course survey.
Learning Objectives: • What is meant by the term character? • Why is character still of primary importance for successful, sustainable nations and organizations? • How does character apply to better negotiating? • The intersection of character, trust, ethics, and leadership.

Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials. Year Developed: 2014?. Source: National Association of County and City Health Officials. Presenter(s): n.a.. Type: Online Course. Level: Intermediate. Length: 114 minutes. Public Health Ethics Training Materials (provides information about facilitator and student manuals, a case repository, accreditation statements, and method of participation)
Annotation: Public health officials regularly balance competing ethical and professional obligations (e.g., efficiently but fairly allocating scarce resources, respecting individual rights while safeguarding the public’s health, protecting underserved and marginalized communities while engaging and sharing information in a transparent manner, and ensuring data confidentiality and individual privacy while conducting surveillance). The field of public health ethics provides a theoretical basis and practical frameworks for addressing challenges that commonly arise in public health practice. Because of the ethical challenges that public health officials face, there is an increasing need to demonstrate competence in public health ethics and an interest in public health ethics training. In order to address this need, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) developed a Web-on-Demand e-Learning module, Good Decision Making in Real Time: Practical Public Health Ethics for Local Health Officials. This training provides public health professionals with tools and practical examples to address ethical challenges that commonly arise in the practice of public health. The 1 hour 54 minute training presents the basics of public health ethics; examines the complementary role that ethics and law play in decision making; and reviews strategies for analyzing ethical issues, exploring the ethical dimensions of alternative courses of action, and justifying public health decisions. The training also presents an interactive case study that puts the learner in the role of a health official and walks through the steps of an ethical analysis using a real-life case scenario. This interactive case study illustrates how to use ethics frameworks, such as the Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health, developed by the Public Health Leadership Society, in the decision making process.
Learning Objectives: • Define the field of public health ethics. • Describe how to use ethical frameworks. • Describe a common public health ethics challenge. • Describe the process of case analysis. • State how public health ethics and law can work together to address ethical challenges and impact decision making. • Describe tools for helping public health officials make ethically informed choices, including illustrating the value of the case study approach. • List specific ways to integrate ethical considerations in the day-to-day decision-making in public health departments. • Promote health improvement, wellness, and disease prevention in cooperation with patients, communities, at-risk populations, and other members of an inter-professional team of health care providers.
