Workshop Questions and Participants

   Workshop Questions

Asking the right questions is critical in philosophy, as it is in all the sciences and humanities. It also makes for better conversations. Common sense, prudence, and wisdom require good questions. The questions that framed this workshop were solicited from invited participants. Then they were reshaped and prioritized by the editors through conversations and consensus. We strongly encourage readers to work with these questions. We hope that, with thought, they will develop new questions that will expand the discourse of this special issue of the journal. Because questions start and shape conversations, they are powerful ethics tools, may lead to authentic communication, and are worth the investment.

SESSION 1
Introduction: Why are we doing this? How did this get started? Who gave us support?

Presenters: Frank Catalanotto, University of Florida, Donald Patthoff, Martinsburg, WV

Overview: The data that define the access issue with a particular focus on children, the aged, and racial- and income-based disparities.

Presenter: James Crall, University of California, Los Angeles

Questions: What are the consensus definitions of the words "access" and "care" in the phrase "access to care"? Is the phrase too political or too broad for developing and implementing a specific applied ethical tool common to professional codes of ethics and core values?

Presenter: David Ozar, Loyola University Chicago; Reactor: David Chambers, University of the Pacific

Questions: Do the participants have a common understanding about the distinctions between the roles of personal, professional, and organizational ethics? How are they imagined and discussed? How can they be used to guide personal, professional, and organizational development and ethical behavior? (a self-assessment exercise)

Presenter: Brian O’Toole, Sisters of Mercy Health System

SESSION 2
Question: What are your natural moral instincts? (a review of the self-assessment exercise)

Presenter: Brian O’Toole, Sisters of Mercy Health System

Questions: Why focus on improved access? What makes it good? Can it harm?

Presenter: David Ozar, Loyola University Chicago; Reactor: Lawrence P. Garetto, Indiana University

Questions: What are the consequences of having access to care problems fixed with band-aid solutions such as randomized volunteer efforts? Does professional ethics require something that is more systematized or greater than or in addition to band-aid solutions?

Presenter: David Smith, Indiana University; Reactor: Wendy Mouradian, University of Washington Reaction to Session 2: Caswell Evans, University of Illinois at Chicago

SESSION 3
Questions: Can participants identify political, social, economic, and applied ethics tools devoted to the pursuit of justice and improved access to care? For example, is access to health care a human right? Is it a commodity? What are the political, social, and professional implications to health care as a human right?

Presenter: Patricia Werhane, University of Virginia; Reactor: David Ozar, Loyola University Chicago

Questions: How are acceptance and related topics reflected in codes of ethics? If not made explicit, is there a consequence for such silence? What are the key features of the ethics of access?

Presenter: Bruce Corsino, Bioethics, Inc. and Virginia Tech; Reactors: Bruce Peltier, University of the Pacific, Beverly Largent, Paducah, KY

SESSION 4
Questions: How is the access to care/ethics education of dentists conducted and is it effective? For example, what are the best ways to develop social consciousness in dental students and practitioners?

Presenter: Bruce Graham, University of Illinois at Chicago; Reactor: Phyllis Beemsterboer, Oregon Health & Science University

Questions: How do multidisciplinary experts (political/economic/social/ethical) contribute directly to the ethics education of dentists? For example, what are the political, social, and professional implications to health care when discussed in terms of human and/or property rights?

Presenter: Brian O’Toole, Sisters of Mercy Health System; Reactors: Amy Tuttle-Morgan, Pride Institute, Bruce Peltier, University of the Pacific

Question: How do health systems perceive their place in education?

Presenter: David Chambers, University of the Pacific; Reactor: Shafik Dharamsi, University of British Columbia

SESSION 5
Questions: What is the best form to present the results of this workshop to the American College of Dentists during a leadership skills session in Philadelphia and to other organizations? Does knowing that it might become the framework for a possible fourth dental ethics summit require special considerations by the framers of the presentation?

Facilitator: Pamela Zarkowski, University of Detroit Mercy
