SPECIAL ARTICLE
Solomon MZ Guilfoy VH Deutsch C Jackson R Koch-Weser D Nelson D O'Donnell L A b s t r a c t Designing behavior change programs and evaluating their effects on patient care has been a persistent challenge in research on continuing medical education. The challenge becomes even more complex when we aim to change behaviors that are interactive and highly influenced by the formal and informal institutional context. The authors describe an interdisciplinary continuing education program in bioethics that is designed to effect just such behaviors. The program aims to help hospital and long-term care facilities improve their ability to resolve the ethical dilemmas inherent in terminal care decisions. Targeted to interdisciplinary groups of physicians, nurses, social workers, pastoral counselors, and administrators, Decisions Near the End of Life will provide strategies and tools for examining institutional policies and team practices as well as more traditional information, education, and skill building. The authors describe the program's rationale and design, and raise questions about the potential for developing interdisciplinary, action-oriented CME on other topics.
