What are the Regulatory and Ethical Concerns of Integrating Care and Research?

In this discussion, CRAACO co-chair, Katherine Vandebelt, Chief Ecosystem Officer, Reify Health, Inc, and Alison Bateman-House, PhD, MPH, MA, Assistant Professor Division of Medical Ethics, NYU Langone Health, consider what lines are being drawn in the integration of clinical care and clinical research. More specifically: Research and care or treatment are separate spheres in the regulatory and ethical worlds. What happens when they are brought together?Are there ethical barriers that need to be overcome to allow clinical research to be offered as an option as part of clinical care?What are the ethical issues that surround offering a patient the opportunity to consider enrolling in a clinical trial?What current efforts are underway to address these issues? This session was presented at the Clinical Research as a Care Option (CRAACO) meeting in April 2018 in Cambridge, MA. The 2019 CRAACO conference will take place April 29-30, 2019 in Raleigh-Durham, NA. Learn more here.
