2024 Colorado Healthcare Ethics Forum (CHEF) ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

The 2024 Colorado Healthcare Ethics Forum annual conference will explore healthcare equity, focusing on difficult ethical challenges and solutions that advance the fair and just delivery of healthcare to under-served and underrepresented populations. Addressing healthcare disparities requires a multi-faceted approach, including policy changes, increased cultural humility in healthcare delivery, improved access to education and preventive services, and efforts to address health-related social needs. Identifying and recognizing the interconnected nature of these disparities will allow providers to work towards equitable healthcare for all people in a manner that aligns with professional and institutional values.

Objectives:

Participants will increase their understanding of ethical problems and solutions concerning healthcare equity, including but not limited to ethical issues arising from:
a. economic barriers to accessing health services and healthcare insurance;
b. racial, cultural, and linguistic bias and discrimination in healthcare;
c. gender bias and discrimination in healthcare;
d. citizenship and nationality bias and discrimination in healthcare;
e. ability-related bias and discrimination in healthcare.

Today more humans feel safe to present as their authentic selves. As this trend continues to develop, how are we, as a society and healthcare providers, providing understanding for those diverse humans? How are we establishing a safe space? How are we establishing and affirming space? How are we providing an inclusive space? Finally, how are providing an empowering space? Abraham Maslow identified the human hierarchy of needs in his paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in 1943. Maslow described needs portrayed as a pyramid of ascension. A similar pyramid exists for the Transgender human as they strive for equality. How can the healthcare system embrace Transgender humans in their struggle for self-efficacy?

Objectives:
  1. A more in-depth understanding of the Transgender human. 
  2. How CIS privilege has obscured our vision.
  3. How healthcare professionals impact Transgender humans.
  4. Finally, how can we as a community support the Transgender human as they strive for self-efficacy?
