Search continues in Bolivia for Notre Dame graduate

By TIM LOGAN Senior Staff Writer

Rescue officials are still searching for Walter Poirier, a 2000 Notre Dame graduate who disappeared in Bolivia in February. Poirier, who is volunteering in the Peace Corps, was last seen around Feb. 22 in La Paz, the nation’s capital.

In the last thirty five years bioethics has developed as an interdisciplinary field focusing on ethical controversies in clinical medicine, medical research, and the allocation of resources in healthcare. However, in recent years there has been a call by a number of people working in bioethics for greater attention to organizational ethics as part of the field. Organizational ethics reflects a growing sense among many professionals working in bioethics that the way healthcare is organized and structured raises another type of ethical question that influences many of the other areas of bioethics. Most notably the questions of healthcare organization have a direct impact on HOME FOR RENT the delivery of care in the clinic. One can also argue that the impact of organizational issues goes beyond the clinic and patient care. For example, the recent changes in managed care represent important shifts in the fundamental paradigm of healthcare delivery. One can argue that many of the ethical issues raised by managed care are present in other models of 2001-2002 SCHOOL YEAR healthcare finance and that other structures also influence clinical practice. This shift challenges some of our most basic assumptions about medicine and healthcare. The lecture will undertake a thorough ongoing examination of the relationship of organizational ethics and bioethics. The lecture will argue that the problems and issues are far more significant than many of the proponents of organizational ethics seem to realize.
