1 Ethics for a learning health care system: The Common Purpose Framework Nancy E. Kass, ScD Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics

2 Project Team Ruth Faden, PhD, MPH Nancy Kass, ScD Tom Beauchamp, PhD Sean Tunis, MD, MSc Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD Steven Goodman, MD, MHS, PhD Funding from the National Center for Research Resources, NIH: grant RC1RR028876

3 The shifting ethical paradigm: Outline for today How have we thought about ethics, research, and clinical care in the past? The distinctions paradigm Does this work for a learning healthcare system? Instead perhaps integrated paradigm? Possible new ethical framework?

4 The Distinctions paradigm 1960s-1970s: research scandals become known to American public 1974: Federal regulations passed for research Strong emphasis on protections Required IRB review/informed consent Regulations relied on being able to distinguish clinical research from clinical care Research now required ethical oversight Clinical care did not

5 Distinctions paradigm how to distinguish research from clinical care? Regulatory (conceptual) definition: Research: intent to produce generalizable knowledge Practice: intent to help patient at hand Research: Systematic collection of data Practice: no systematic data collection Claims from literature: Research: Poses risk; uncertainty about clinical benefit Practice: Treatments given only when benefits outweigh risks Research: Poses burdens from activities not necessary for good care Practice- all interventions contribute to good care management Research: Protocols determine the care patients receive Practice: physician-patient autonomy to decide

6 Our claim: The distinction does not work We challenge the view that this distinction and the policy implications of using it- should be sustained We believe there are practical, conceptual, and moral problems in relying on distinction

7 Practical, conceptual, and moral problems with this paradigm (? Or use slide 2 later only) Conceptual problems: assumptions are not accurate We generalize from practice, quality improvement We collect data systematically in practice Many errors/risks in practice; yet research increasingly designed to compare effective treatments Practice includes unnecessary or duplicate tests and treatments (unnecessary burdens) Practical problems: complete confusion! Moral problems: Overprotection (of low risk research) Underprotection (from unsafe or unproven care)

8 Moral problems with current approach Our oversight system is designed to ensure ethical protection for patients who need it Yet, Underprotection of some patients From risk and uncertainty in clinical care Medical errors, care/procedures never evaluated Diffusion of technology for indications never evaluated Overprotection of some patients Extraordinary oversight apparatus for very low risk activity Routine collection of records Comparisons of approved, widely used therapies

9 What else is part of our current moral and clinical context? Paradox #1 Push for doctor-patient shared decision making Health Affairs: Shared decision making must rely on doctors and patients using best available evidence but so little evidence for most clinical decisions in part from hurdles of ethics oversight/ privacy concerns Paradox #2 Health departments, CDC, hospitals routinely collect data (so useful to patients!!) permission not required Cancer, obesity, HIV rates in different populations Rates of infections, falls, medication errors in hospitals and impact of related interventions

10 Goals of an Ethical Framework for learning healthcare system To increase the likelihood that continuous learning occurs; Learning more is an ethical good To ensure that this learning proceeds in an ethically acceptable fashion Participants rights and interests are appropriately protected

11 To what does framework apply? Activities with targeted objective of learning How to improve the quality, value, fairness, or efficiency of healthcare, systems, institutions; AND that involve delivery or healthcare services or use of individual health Information

12 Ethics Framework for the Learning Healthcare System 1. Respect the rights and dignity of patients and families 2. Respect the judgment of clinicians 3. Provide each patient optimal clinical care 4. Avoid imposing non-clinical risks and burdens 5. Address unjust health inequalities 6. Conduct continuous learning activities (clinicians and health care institutions) 7. Contribute to the common purpose of improving the quality and value of clinical care (patients and families)

13 Obligation 1: Respect Patients How does learning activity impact patients rights, respectful treatment, and dignity? Not every decision is of equal moral relevance to patients Duties of respect go well beyond autonomous decision making by patients

14 Obligation 2: Respect Clinical Judgment How does activity impact a clinician s ability to use his/her own judgment? Clinicians judgments advance patients medical interests and autonomy interests Importance of this obligation is not equally stringent in all circumstances Tension exists between honoring this obligation and evidence that clinicians judgments can be biased or less than fully informed

15 Obligation 3: Provide Each Patient Seeking Care Optimal Clinical Care How will learning activity impact net clinical benefit to patients, compared to benefit from ordinary care without learning activity? General obligation to promote the welfare interests of patients toward the best clinical outcome Does learning make the care any riskier for patients? Likely for patients to be worse off? Or is it the same?

16 Obligation 4: Avoid Imposing Nonclinical Risks and Burdens What other nonclinical risks and burdens do patients experience? How do these compare to those likely from ordinary care outside of activity? Any additional burdens for patients because the learning activity is happening?

17 Obligation 5: Address Unjust Inequalities Will learning activity exacerbate unjust inequalities? Decrease them? What is the activity studying? Can activity be structured to advance the goal of reducing unjust inequalities in healthcare?

18 Obligation 6: Conduct Continuous Learning Activities that Improve the Quality of Clinical Care Healthcare professionals, institutions, payors, have obligation to conduct and contribute to learning activities that advance the quality, fairness, and economic viability of the healthcare system They are uniquely situated to contribute such data Relevant to their responsibilities to provide high quality care

19 Obligation 7: Contribute to the Common Purpose of Improving the Quality and Value of Clinical Care and Healthcare Systems Patients have an obligation to participate in learning activities Derived from moral norm of common purpose-- a common interest in having a high quality, just, and economically viable healthcare system Derived from obligations of reciprocity Does not mean patients must participate in all learning activities!!! Activities that might adversely impact rights and interests (obligations 1-4) will require consent/oversight

20 Implementation Part 1: Ethics policies that must be in place in a Learning Healthcare system Transparency Engagement Accountability Part 2: Evaluation (triage) of types of learning activities

21 Part I: Ethics policies that must be in place in a Learning Healthcare system Wide disclosure (at enrollment, newsletters, etc.) That HC system is committed to continuous learning in order to improve care That confidentiality will be protected Listing available of all learning activities Key findings will be disseminated Key findings will be used to improve care (and then disseminate examples!)

22 What key messages to disclose? System is committed to continuous learning Learning is integrated into all care delivery Learning is ethical imperative to ability to deliver high quality care System committed to protecting patients rights and interests Confidentiality protections Quality of care never knowingly compromised All activities first evaluated with ethics framework Any activity that might meaningfully change care or how it is delivered will always include explicit informed consent requirements

23 Part II: Evaluation (triage) of types of learning activities Category #1 No additional risk/burden; No change to clinical care; good protections; [records review] No consent required; no prospective oversight required? Random audits to ensure meeting criteria Category #2: Low risk/burden; no reason to think patients object to research or prefer one arm (approach) over another; e.g., comparison two similar treatment approaches; prospective oversight but modified authorization/no consent (?) Category #3: Risk/burden; meaningful difference among approaches; prospective oversight and prospective patient consent

24 Thank You!!! Reactions? Criticism?
