Center For Practical Bioethics Inc

Advance Care Planning builds on the Center's legacy work in end-of-life care, focusing on increasing participation in advance care planning in diverse communities. We provide individual consultation and community workshops and disseminate Caring Conversations resources. The Center helps to support providers at various stages of development of the Transportable Physician Orders for Patient Preferences (TPOPP), a bi-state initiative of a national voluntary POLST program. This program seeks to better align treatment plans with goals and values of patients.

Emerging Issues and Systems Change includes issues in healthcare that raise ethical concerns and identifies the need for systems change. The current focus is on the policies, individual champion leaders, organizational structures, and community voice that support the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence-enabled technologies in health and healthcare. The Center's core values of advocacy and justice underpin our actions, programs, and strategies, leading to identification of bias, pressing for representation and diversity, and building equitable delivery of healthcare. Moreover, we passionately attend to and protect the interests of those whose voices have been historically unheard or unheeded in health and healthcare.
