Description

The Framework is a resource to help planners and strategic policymakers from Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) consider ethical implications of the choices they face. It provides a widely recognized, consistent set of principles to work through and outlines a transparent and understandable process to assess the potential choices. This framework can be used to assist in making decisions on common pandemic influenza-related ethical dilemmas such as vaccine priority decisions, compensation for health care workers, antiviral prioritization and many others.
