Making Sense of Vaccination Schedules: The Who, What, and Why of Pediatric Vaccines
Section Navigation
We’re now venturing into our 7th year since the Our Care, Our Choice Act legalized medical aid in dying in Hawaiʻi. There is an ongoing need for education so that every terminally ill patient and their caregivers know that MAID is an option. This session will explore the ethical considerations when providing this service. In addition, we'll discuss what we've learned over the years and what trends we are seeing based on the data.

Objectives:

  1. Identify at least one Hawaiʻi data trend from the last six years of OCOCA.
  2. List common ethical concerns of clinicians providing Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) services.
  3. Describe written consent requirements and remote witnessing.
  4. Explain how the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act (ASFRA) affects hospice practices.
  5. Define the role of the Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine’s ethics consultation services.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute and the Western Region Public Health Training Center (WRPHTC). The WRPHTC is jointed accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continued Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

The planners and presenters for this training have no declared conflicts of interest.
