ElineItem Pandemic flu preparedness: ethical issues and recommendations to the Indiana State Department of Health(2009-06-29T16:36:53Z) Meslin, Eric M.; Alyea, Jennifer M.; Helft, Paul R.Four Recommendations are proposed: 1. the State must identify all healthcare workers who are deemed to be critically necessary during the pandemic; 2. the State and healthcare organizations should adopt a “high expectations, no punishment” approach to absenteeism; 3. the State should set and communicate expectations that healthcare institutions have adequate medical supplies and that these institutions ensure these supplies be made available to all personnel expected to interact with patients; and 4. the State should encourage healthcare institutions to establish clear policies for determining sanctions for noncompliance with expected responsibilities that are both fair and responsive to exceptional circumstances.Item Pandemic influenza preparedness: ethical issues and recommendations to the Indiana State Department of Health(Indiana University Center for Bioethics, 2008-08) Meslin, Eric M.; Alyea, Jennifer M.; Helft, Paul R.In August of 2007, the Indiana University Center for Bioethics (IUCB) presented to the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) a set of technical advisory documents (TADs) addressing ethical issues that may arise in the event of an influenza pandemic. The topics of altered standards of care, triage, vaccine allocation, and healthcare workforce management all were addressed in these documents, each with its own annotated bibliography. Additionally, IUCB provided to ISDH an ethical framework entitled Points to Consider, which consisted of a set of seven ethical points that the Center believed the State should take into consideration when developing policies and procedures related to pandemic influenza response. Since that time, ethicists, researchers, and policymakers have continued to contribute to the literature and develop policies addressing ethical pandemic influenza planning. As a result, ISDH again contracted with IUCB to update the previous documents with the most current thinking on the respective topics.
