I am aligned with Jim on this - May I have some more please? There are beau-coup scenarios with serious ethical and financial considerations - I would like to see us explore them more deeply. The best example of this I have seen involved several people playing different roles within a fictitious company, each explaining their position and situation. They debated a bit with each others as the story unfolded, and ultimately the audience was left with the opportunity to query the 'employees' and come to thier own conclusions.

As the Confab live blogger, I apologize for misstating your view about the Medicare Practice ethics case study! I learned some interesting things about live blogging during Confab, including that live bloggers should set up blog entries with session title and speaker info with links to the speakers' web sites, etc., in advance so they can better listen to the content during the session. :) I agree with Jim's comment that we should do the panel discussion of ethics case studies again! This discussion of ethics is one of the best I've heard at Confab. Jennifer, thanks for your comment.

I agree with Jim’s comment that we should do the panel discussion of ethics case studies again! This discussion of ethics is one of the best I’ve heard at Confab.

(For those who missed this conference, you missed a great time of learning and networking!) A slight correction on my viewpoint of the case study I represented in the ethics session. As a former pharmacist, I have an insight into the billing and practices of medical care and felt the consultant in the case study (not me) showed a bias, causing me to reference the Code of Ethics section on objectivity and bias. I felt many others might share this bias (which was supported by audience comments - guilt on the part of not only this medical practice despite limited information and no evidence to support fraud, but the medical community in general) and again emphasized the Code of Ethics point on this matter.
