Transforming Ethics Workshop
June 6, 12:00 - 1:00pm
Explore a renewed vision of healing by addressing the people, places and practices of health care from an ethical perspective.
Healing is sought by all people at some time during life’s journey. Yet, in health care, the focus on measurable outcomes as the means to define the system’s success results in a drift away from the traditional and contemporary sources of healing and a holistic vision of health. In the tension, we see that both residents’/patients’ and health care providers’ humanity is diminished, and the healing potential of human encounter is lost. Can we revive a more fulsome healing in the deeply personal encounters that are the hallmark of quality health care even when success is measured in empirical terms?
