Publisher Description

Health systems need to set priorities fairly. In one way or another, part of this important task will fall to physicians. How do they make judgments about resource stewardship, and how should they do so? How can they make such decisions in a manner that is compatible with their clinical duties to patients? In this book, philosophers, bioethicists, physicians, lawyers and health policy experts make the case that priority setting and rationing contributesignificantly to the possibility of affordable and fair healthcare and that clinicians play an indispensable role in that process. The book depicts the results of a survey of European physicians about theirexperiences with rationing and other cost containment strategies, and their perception of scarcity and fairness in their health care systems. Responding to and complementing these findings, commentators discuss why resource allocation and bedside rationing is necessary and justifiable. The book explores how bedside rationing relates to clinical judgments about medical necessity and medical indications, marginal benefits, weak evidence based medicine, off-label use. The book highlights howcomparative studies of health care systems can advance more effective and fair bedside rationing through learning from one another. From a practical standpoint, the book offers a number of strategies forhealth care systems and clinicians to work in tandem to allocate and ration resources as fairly as possible: how to foster more attention to fairness when rationing at the bedside, how to avoid exacerbating health disparities when allocating resources, how to teach about bedside rationing to students, how to discuss rationing more explicitly in the public arena and in the doctor's office.

Feature

Selling point: The book offers a unique combination of normative analyses of the moral grounds for resource allocation and rationing at the bedside, empirical evidence about the prevalence of rationing by physicians, and concrete suggestions about how clinicians and health care systems can work together to make resource allocation and rationing as fair as possible.
Selling point: This book presents an international comparison of attitudes towards and reported bedside rationing by physicians. It illustrates and justifies why the relevant question regarding bedside rationing is not whether it ought to be practiced, but how it can be practiced in a manner which respects everyone.
