March 9, 2018: Health Policy and Bioethics Consortium
12:30 - 2 p.m.
By some measures, as much as 5% of health care spending can be linked to fraud, and dangerous practices from for-profit medical product companies have led to widespread negative health outcomes. Health care providers and others directly involved in the health care marketplace are often in an optimal position to recognize problematic business practices. How do we optimize responsible whistleblowing and promote an ethical culture within science, medicine, and business?
