Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The mission of the Center for Practical Bioethics is to raise and respond to ethical issues in health and healthcare.

  • Ethics Education and Consultation includes teaching medical students and clinicians; managing the KC Regional Ethics Committee Consortium (now in our 38th year); presenting educational lectures, symposia and workshops; developing and curating resources, including the website which contains more than 4,000 reports, guidelines, policy briefs, program resources, and audio/video recordings of interviews, lectures, and symposia. Education and Consultation also includes leading ethics consultations for healthcare providers and individuals, providing policymaker guidance and teaching at two area medical schools (the University of Kansas Medical Center and Kansas City University).

    Expenses $738,625 · Revenue $354,042

  • Advance Care Planning builds on the Center's legacy work in end-of-life care, focusing on increasing participation in advance care planning in diverse communities. We provide individual consultation and community workshops and disseminate Caring Conversations resources. The Center helps to support providers at various stages of development of the Transportable Physician Orders for Patient Preferences (TPOPP), a bi-state initiative of a national voluntary POLST program. This program seeks to better align treatment plans with goals and values of patients.

    Expenses $95,987 · Revenue $300

  • Emerging Issues and Systems Change includes issues in healthcare that raise ethical concerns and identifies the need for systems change. The current focus is on the policies, individual champion leaders, organizational structures, and community voice that support the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence-enabled technologies in health and healthcare. The Center's core values of advocacy and justice underpin our actions, programs, and strategies, leading to identification of bias, pressing for representation and diversity, and building equitable delivery of healthcare. Moreover, we passionately attend to and protect the interests of those whose voices have been historically unheard or unheeded in health and healthcare.

    Expenses $312,616 · Revenue $34,550

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
