This ISN Green-K webinar explores ethical imperatives and dilemmas faced by kidney care professionals.
Imperatives regard, in hierarchical sequence : health equity (i.e. universal access to dialysis care); patients’ right of choosing treatments (implying the availability of different treatments); need to guarantee the best patient outcomes, and respecting planetary health, by wise resource allocation, avoiding futility and engaging in a reevaluation of the way dialysis is performed, and patients are involved.
The dilemmas include avoiding futility (ex. tailoring dialysis frequency to needs; reconsidering dialysate flows) versus following economic interests or being limited to (often obsolete) regulatory rules; organizing personalized care in the setting of reduced time to dedicate to the patients; combining limited resources with quality of care; setting the perimeter of care vs lifestyle interventions.
Join experts as they examine the difficult trade-offs and guide the conversation on setting ethical and clinical priorities in green nephrology.
Learning objectives:
- Identify the key imperatives in implementing sustainable kidney care practices.
- Explore how resource limitations and environmental goals intersect with clinical decisions.
- Discuss strategies to ensure equitable care while advancing green nephrology principles.
- Comment on how attention to sustainability may lead to reinvest in improving the overall quality of care (and not decreasing it)
(NB begins 16:00 Central European Summer Time)
