Description

Developments in health care call on us to serve not only the individual patient but also patient populations. How might we think about the ethical conflicts between individual patient care and population health? What is the potential role of the individual provider and the organization? This presentation includes suggestions on how individuals and organizations can best contribute to this changing landscape.
