ETHICS ALERT!
Speaker:Patricia Carothers, BSN, RN, MS, CCM
Description:
Medical marijuana is now legal in 33 states and the District of Columbia, but there is little research on its effective use. As new acronyms like CBD and THC enter the health care vocabulary, case managers must adapt in an ethics and evidence-based manner. This webinar will offer an overview of the components of cannabis and the evidence for its use in palliative care, as well as ethical implications for case managers.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify key legal, regulatory and coverage issues that impact patient access to using medical marijuana in its various formulations;
- Describe ethically appropriate responses to common scenarios where patients and/or families have expressed interest in using medical marijuana as part of their treatment plan; and
- Develop an approach to anticipate and address common barriers to treatment, including incorporating advocacy on behalf of clients and their treatment preferences in interaction with providers, payers and caregivers.
