Join the Stanford Risk Authority and a panel of leading experts as we explore high risk surgery as it exists in the current medical-economic environment and in light of today's healthcare consumer. The presentation will discuss the medical and ethical considerations that need to balance the chance for improved quality of life and the full impact to the patient in terms of physical, emotional and financial health. Additionally, the impact to the healthcare organization will be considered, as resources become increasingly scarce. What once was a narrow discussion surrounding risks, benefits and alternatives to the patient now requires a more complete analysis of all the interests involved for patients to make a fully informed decision whether to proceed with high risk surgery.
