Special Advisor; Former Senior Attorney Task Force reports should not be regarded as reflecting the views of the organizations with which Task Force members are associated. Letter from the Commissioner of Health Dear New Yorkers, Protecting the health and well-being of New Yorkers is a core objective of the Department of Health. During flu season, we are reminded that pandemic influenza is a foreseeable threat, one that we cannot ignore. In light of this possibility, the Department is taking steps to prepare for a pandemic and to limit the loss of life and other negative consequences. An influenza pandemic would affect all New Yorkers, and we have a responsibility to plan now. Part of the planning process is to develop guidance on how to ethically allocate limited resources (i.e., ventilators) during a severe influenza pandemic while saving the most lives. As part of our emergency preparedness efforts, the Department, together with the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, is releasing the 2015 Ventilator Allocation Guidelines, which provide an ethical, clinical, and legal framework to assist health care providers and the general public in the event of a severe influenza pandemic. The first guidelines in 2007 focused on the allocation of ventilators for adults, and were among the first of their kind in the United States. The 2015 version is also groundbreaking in that it includes two new detailed clinical ventilator allocation protocols – one for pediatric patients and another for neonates. The first Guidelines were widely cited and followed by other states. We expect these revised Guidelines to have a similar effect. The Guidelines were written to reflect the values of New Yorkers, and extensive efforts were made to obtain public input during their development. While these Guidelines are comprehensive, they are by no means final. We will continue to seek public input and will revise the Guidelines as societal norms change and clinical knowledge advances. It is my sincere hope that these Guidelines will never need to be implemented. But as a physician and servant in public health, I know that such preparations are essential should we ever experience an influenza pandemic. I want to thank the members and staff of the Task Force on Life and the Law for their efforts in creating these Guidelines, which once again demonstrate New York’s strong commitment to safeguarding the health of its citizens. Sincerely, Howard A. Zucker, M.D., J.D., LL.M. New York State Commissioner of Health VENTILATOR ALLOCATION GUIDELINES New York State Task Force on Life & the Law New York State Department of Health Preface These Ventilator Allocation Guidelines (Guidelines) are an update to the 2007 draft guidelines, which presented a clinical ventilator allocation protocol for adults and included a brief section on the legal issues associated with implementing the guidelines. This update of the Guidelines consists of four chapters: (1) the adult guidelines, (2) the pediatric guidelines, (3) the neonatal guidelines, and (4) legal considerations. The adult guidelines were revised to reflect recent medical advances and further clinical analysis. The pediatric and neonatal guidelines are new and address important and previously overlooked segments of the population. Finally, the legal section provides a comprehensive examination of the various legal issues that may arise when implementing the Guidelines. The underlying goal of this work is to provide a thorough ethical, clinical, and legal analysis of the development and implementation of the Guidelines in New York State. In addition to detailed clinical ventilator allocation protocols, this document provides an account of the logic, reasoning, and analysis behind the Guidelines. The clinical ventilator allocation protocols are grounded in a solid ethical and legal foundation and balance the goal of saving the most lives with important societal values, such as protecting vulnerable populations, to build support from both the general public and health care staff. These Ventilator Allocation Guidelines provide an ethical, clinical, and legal framework that will assist health care workers and facilities and the general public in the ethical allocation of ventilators during an influenza pandemic. Because the Guidelines are a living document, intended to be updated and revised in line with advances in clinical knowledge and societal norms, the ongoing feedback from clinicians and the public has and will continue to be sought. In developing a protocol for allocating scarce resources in the event of an influenza pandemic, the importance of genuine public outreach, education, and engagement cannot be overstated; they are critical to the development of just policies and the establishment of public trust. Acknowledgements The participation of clinicians, researchers, and legal experts was critical to the deliberations of the Task Force. In addition to the members of the adult, pediatric, and clinical workgroups (see Appendix B of each respective chapter) and legal subcommittee, we would like to thank Armand H. Matheny Antommaria, Kenneth A. Berkowitz, Penelope R. Buschman, Sandro Cinti, Laura Evans, W. Bradley Poss, William Schechter, and Mary Ellen Tresgallo for their invaluable insights. We would like to thank former Task Force policy interns Apoorva Ambavane, Sara Bergstresser, Jason Keehn, Jordan Lite, Daniel Marcus-Toll, Felisha Miles, Nicole Naudé, Katy Skimming, and Maryanne Tomazic for their research and editing contributions. In addition, we would like to extend special thanks to former legal interns Carol Brass, Bryant Cobb, Andrew Cohen, Marissa Geoffory, Victoria Kusel, Brendan Parent, Lillian Ringel, Phoebe Stone, David Trompeter, and Esther Warshauer-Baker. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the work of former Task Force staff members who contributed to the Guidelines. We thank former Executive Directors Tia Powell and Beth Roxland, who initiated and moved the report forward, respectively. Carrie Zoubul served as the Senior Attorney during a large portion of the research and writing of these Guidelines and oversaw the 2011 public engagement project. The Task Force’s previous reports have been instrumental in developing policy on issues arising at the intersection of law, medicine, and ethics and have impacted greatly the delivery of health care in New York. While the Task Force hopes that the Guidelines will never need to be implemented, we believe the Guidelines will help to ensure that the State is adequately and appropriately prepared in the event of an influenza pandemic. Sincerely, Susie A. Han, M.A., M.A. Valerie Gutmann Koch, J.D. Deputy Director, Principal Policy Analyst Special Advisor; Former Senior Attorney Project Chair of the Guidelines On behalf of the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law VENTILATOR ALLOCATION GUIDELINES Executive Summary I. Introduction Influenza pandemics occur with unpredictable frequency and severity. Recent influenza outbreaks, including the emergence of a powerful strain of avian influenza in 2005 and the novel H1N1 pandemic in 2009, have generated concern about the possibility of a severe influenza pandemic. While it is uncertain whether or when a pandemic will occur, the better prepared New York State is, the greater its chances of reducing associated morbidity, mortality, and economic consequences. A pandemic that is especially severe with respect to the number of patients affected and the acuity of illness will create shortages of many health care resources, including personnel and equipment. Specifically, many more patients will require the use of ventilators than can be accommodated with current supplies. New York State may have enough ventilators to meet the needs of patients in a moderately severe pandemic.

  • For and Against Equal Access to Health Care
    For and against Equal Access to Health Care AMY GUTMANN Princeton University h e r e i s a f a i r l y w i d e s p r e a d c o n s e n s u s a m o n g empirical analysts that access to health care in this country has become more equal in the last quarter century. Agreement Ttends to end here; debate follows as to whether this trend will or should persist. But before debating these questions, we ought to have a clear idea of what equal access to health care means. Since equality of access to health care cannot be defined in a morally neutral way, we must choose a definition that is morally loaded with a set of values (Daniels, 1981b). The definition offered here is by no means the only possible one. It has, however, the advantage not only of clarity but also of having embedded within it strong and commonly accepted liberal egalitarian values. The debate is better focused upon arguments for and against a strong principle of equal access than disputes over definitions, which tend to hide fundamental value disagreements in­ stead of making them explicit. An equal access principle, clearly stated and understood, can serve at best as an ideal toward which a society committed to equality of opportunity and equal respect for persons can strive. It does not provide a blueprint for social change, but only a moral standard by which to judge marginal changes in our present institutions of health care.

  • An Evidence-Based Approach to Benchmarking the Fairness of Health-Sector Reform in Developing Countries
    An evidence-based approach to benchmarking the fairness of health-sector reform in developing countries Norman Daniels,1 Walter Flores,2 Supasit Pannarunothai,3 Peter N. Ndumbe,4 John H. Bryant,5 T.J. Ngulube,6 & Yuankun Wang7 Abstract The Benchmarks of Fairness instrument is an evidence-based policy tool developed in generic form in 2000 for evaluating the effects of health-system reforms on equity, effi ciency and accountability. By integrating measures of these effects on the central goal of fairness, the approach fi lls a gap that has hampered reform efforts for more than two decades. Over the past three years, projects in developing countries on three continents have adapted the generic version of these benchmarks for use at both national and subnational levels. Interdisciplinary teams of managers, providers, academics and advocates agree on the relevant criteria for assessing components of fairness and, depending on which aspects of reform they wish to evaluate, select appropriate indicators that rely on accessible information; they also agree on scoring rules for evaluating the diverse changes in the indicators. In contrast to a comprehensive index that aggregates all measured changes into a single evaluation or rank, the pattern of changes revealed by the benchmarks are used to inform policy deliberation about which aspects of the reforms have been successfully implemented, and it also allows for improvements to be made in the reforms. This approach permits useful evidence about reform to be gathered in settings where existing information is underused and where there is a weak information infrastructure. Brief descriptions of early results from Cameroon, Ecuador, Guatemala, Thailand and Zambia demonstrate that the method can produce results that are useful for policy and reveal the variety of purposes to which the approach can be put.

Course Description Ethical analysis has become an increasingly integral part of health policy and public health. A foundation in normative ethics and political philosophy is central to policy and medical decision- making because at the core of many policy and medical debates lie questions of distributive justice. This course will focus on evaluating how values, ethical approaches, and evidence should inform policy making, clinical medicine, and public health practice. How should scarce resources, such as organs for transplantation or hospital beds, be allocated? How much personal responsibility do people have and how accountable should they be for their own health and health behaviors? How should public health effectively balance equity and efficiency? Should medicine or public health be specifically concerned with the health of vulnerable or marginalized populations? This course aims to provide students with the skills necessary for analyzing and contributing meaningfully to current debates in health policy and medicine from an ethics perspective.
