Hybrid: Research Ethics & Policy Series (REPS)

March 13, 2024.  12pm-1pm Eastern

Improving the quality of patient care is a top priority for all health care systems and performing quality improvement (QI) work is an essential ingredient for success. In academic medical centers, many individuals and teams who lead QI work also wish to rigorously evaluate and disseminate their findings which can sometimes lead to ethical dilemmas related to oversight.  In this session, Drs. Shivan Mehta and Jennifer Myers, PSOM faculty and Penn Medicine physicians who lead and advise others in QI work, will share the story behind how Penn’s QI IRB pathway came to fruition and the process for how to utilize it. Using lessons learned and case studies, they will discuss the ethical considerations and tensions that still exist in the field and moderate a discussion with the audience.
