Presented by: Adira Hulkower, JD MS, Chief of the Bioethics Consult Service at Montefiore in the Bronx

Hospitals have both a regulatory and ethical mandate to establish safe discharge plans for all patients. Through the lens of dignity of risk this session will provide a case-based exploration of how to expand conceptions of safety, risk and beneficence to better meet patient needs.
