Kurzbeschreibung: The Australasian Association of Bioethics and Health Law 2011 Conference will focus on the following questions:
What is the role of Expectations (realistic or otherwise) in driving contemporary health care? To what extent can, or should, Hope be fostered – what are the harms and benefits? After 3 decades of defining, measuring and critiquing medical Futility, where are we in 2011? Do health consumers’ expectations and hope drive futile care measures across the spectrum of our healthcare system? Do health professionals’ misunderstanding of what would constitute a good outcome from the patient’s perspective drive futile care measures? What impact does this have on health service budgets?
