Health Care Social Workers and Ethics Committees
by Karen Neuman Allen, Ph.D., LMSW
 
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from an article from the current (Fall 2011) issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER. Read the full article at:
 
Social workers can be instrumental in helping hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, and other health care organizations resolve complex cases with ethical dimensions. One way of contributing to the process is though involvement with the organization’s ethics committee. There are two ways in which social workers are involved in ethics committees. One is by making a request for a consultation on a case by the ethics committee. The second is by serving as a member of the committee. For the purposes of this article, we will consider an ethical dilemma to be a situation in which a decision has to be made and each option compromises or conflicts with an ethical standard in some way.

Overview of the Ethics Committee

In 1992, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations mandated that health care systems develop a formal mechanism for addressing ethical issues in patient care. By 2000, 95% of hospitals surveyed had or were in the process of developing an ethics consultation service (O’Reilly, 2008). Larger home care agencies and nursing homes followed the lead of hospitals and developed ethics committees or consultation, as well.

An ethics committee is an interdisciplinary group of providers, staff, patients, family members, administrators, and lay people who volunteer their time and expertise to the hospital so that a fair, inclusive, and consistent process is used to resolve ethical dilemmas. In addition to consulting on individual cases, the committee develops relevant policies and procedures, provides staff and community education, resolves conflicts, advocates for legal and policy changes, and provides support to staff who are troubled by ethical dimensions in a situation. The composition of the committee is critical, and it is essential that patients and leaders from the community participate and are not marginalized or intimidated by members of the medical team (American College of Physicians, 1998; Ross, et al., 1993). Although there may be some overlap, the role of the ethics committee is usually different from that of the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The ethics committee is centered on issues related to patient care, whereas the IRB reviews research conducted at the institution to assure regulatory compliance and protection of human subjects.

According to the American College of Physicians (1998), the purposes of an ethics committee are to:

  • provide support and guidance to patients, families, and the health care team in complex situations in which ethics, values, legal principles, and cultural and religious practice conflict, and potentially affect patient care;
  • review cases as a consulting service when ethically complex cases arise;
  • help clarify the issues;
  • identify all potential courses of action and decisions;
  • help weigh the possible options and make a recommendation;
  • help the patient, family, and treatment team reach a consensus on a decision;
  • review the outcome and implications of each case; and
  • promote policies and practices that assure best ethical practices in the institution.

Secretary Sebelius on 30 Years of AIDS
 
Commemorating 30 Years of Leadership in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS

The following is excerpted from Secretary Kathleen Sibelius’ speech on June 8, 2011, in Washington, DC, commemorating 30 years of leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS. You can watch the full speech at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0_Rh6f6dw.

We are here to remember those we have lost to this pandemic and to honor those who fight against the virus and for a cure. We are here to mark the gains we have made over the last 30 years and to look ahead with hope and purpose at the next steps we must take in our fight against HIV/AIDS.
 
The story of the first three decades has been one of great commitment, discovery, and collaboration. But it is also a story of enormous uncertainty and terrible loss.
 
More than 600,000 Americans have died long before they should have. Worldwide, more than 30 million people are living with HIV today, including 2.5 million children.
 
It can be easy to focus on all the data, dollars, and scientific milestones that we so often use to measure our progress. And they are important.
 
But we can never forget that the story of HIV/AIDS is one of countless individual human lives.
 
There are many of us in this room today who never thought this disease would still be with us 30 years later. And there are some people in this room who were not born when this epidemic began.  
Just think about that.  A generation of people who have never lived in a world without this virus.
And in this age of advanced treatments, when HIV is no longer a death sentence for many, it can be easy to forget how scary those first years were. 
 
We didn’t know what caused the disease and we weren’t sure how it spread.  What we did know was that it almost certainly meant death.  One advocate compared these early days to living in a war zone: you were never sure when the next bomb would drop.
 
With this uncertainty came fear.  And with fear came prejudice. Children like Ryan White were turned away from their schools because they were HIV positive. Tenants were locked out of their apartments and forced to live on the streets. 
 
Workers were fired from jobs they had held for decades.  Sons and daughters lying in hospital beds were abandoned by their families.
 
Treatment was hard to come by unless you qualified for Medicaid or could keep a job that provided insurance.  And the treatments we did have were not as effective as any of us wished.
 
When our national government was slow to act, it was community organizations, springing up on street corners across the country that met people’s needs.  They connected people to treatment, educated them about how to protect themselves, battled discrimination, and got the country’s attention.
And they taught us, most poignantly, that silence equals death.
 
Many of you know this story because you lived it. And you went on to build strong coalitions that included government, community-based groups, employers, health professionals, and people with AIDS coming together with a sense of urgency to develop better approaches for treating and reducing the spread of this disease.
 
No single narrative can do justice to our journey over the last three decades.  There are, instead, a million individual stories sewn together by a shared hope for progress:
 
Science must keep moving forward. Prevention must reach even further and be even more effective. And all people living with HIV/AIDS must have better access to the treatment and care they need whether they live in Washington, DC, or a village outside Nairobi.
 
Over time – in some instances a relatively short time – science took what was once an impenetrable mystery and began to uncover answers – the kind of answers that not only worked in the lab but also saved lives.
 
Thanks to the work and ingenuity of scientists and doctors at places like CDC, NIH, FDA, and HRSA, new effective therapies and tools for prevention came online.
 
Today, more than 30 licensed drugs are widely available in the developed world and have begun to transform HIV into a chronic disease, adding years to people’s lives.
 
But we know that progress is not enough. That’s why President Obama has made the fight against HIV at home and around the world a top priority for his Administration -- including the development of a National AIDS Strategy that is providing direction and focus to all our efforts.
 
This battle is not over.  As long as this virus threatens the health and lives of people here and around the globe, the struggle continues. 
 
And so, on this day, in this place, we need to remember the words of Mother Jones who told us to [quote] “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
