DESCRIPTION:Laura Guidry-Grimes\, PhD\, HEC-C. Moderated by Jonas-Sébastien
  Beaudry\n\nOn Zoom\n\n(En anglais seulement) During a public health crisi
 s\, healthcare institutions may have to adapt resources (staff\, space\, a
 nd supplies) and adjust the standard of care. When the crisis permits\, in
 stitutions first adopt contingency standards of care\, which the U.S. Inst
 itute of Medicine (IOM) describes as “functionally equivalent” care. If th
 e crisis worsens such that resource shortages and patient morbidity/mortal
 ity increase\, then the institutions have to shift to crisis standards of 
 care. The COVID-19 pandemic led to prolonged contingency standards in hosp
 itals and clinics throughout the world (which led to care that was often f
 ar from “functionally equivalent”)\, and crisis standards were quickly pla
 nned in case necessary. Along the way\, even when institutions did not imp
 lement formal triage\, many areas reported “informal triage\,” where emerg
 ency departments and first responders did not accept patients who would no
 rmally have been admitted to the hospital. Historically marginalized and u
 nderserved groups have been disproportionately impacted by the formal and 
 informal decisions of those in positions of power.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemi
 c highlights the many layers of vulnerability that persons with physical\,
  intellectual\, and psychiatric disabilities can have in a public health c
 risis. These vulnerabilities are the result of many factors\, including en
 trenched and systemic disability bias in healthcare\, congregate care faci
 lities without proper funding or support\, and the routine exclusion of di
 sabled persons in decision-making that directly affects their well-being.
 \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Guidry-Grimes will discuss the theoretical foundati
 ons of disability rights during a public health crisis. She will approach 
 this topic as a U.S.-based clinical ethicist and philosopher with a specia
 lization in disability bioethics. She will analyze justice in terms of dis
 tribution and recognition\, building on the work of Nancy Fraser and disab
 ility studies scholars. She will connect conceptual points about justice w
 ith the four elements of the IOM vision statement for public health crises
 \, which emphasizes fairness\; equitable processes\; community and provide
 r engagement\, education\, and communication\; and the rule of law. Her an
 alysis will cover both crisis standards of care and contingency standards 
 of care\, the latter of which did not receive sufficient normative analysi
 s before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nLaura
  Guidry-Grimes\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor. Dr. Guidry-Grimes rece
 ived her doctorate in philosophy at Georgetown University. She worked from

 services at UAMS and Arkansas Children’s Hospital.  Dr. Guidry-Grimes is a
 lso interested in disability advocacy\, ethics of psychiatry\, and determi
 ning how best to understand vulnerability in health care.  Read more about
