Description
Thibaud Haaser and co-authors report a 2024 study of health worker views on fairness rules for scarce care in the pandemic. When systems overflow, teams must rank who gets care first. Guidance lists some fair traits and bans others, such as a hard age cutoff or vaccine status, but staff views were untested.
An ethics group at a Bordeaux hospital built a survey from the guidance. In January 2022, as a new variant wave rose, the survey went out across the site. About half of frontline doctors replied, plus a wider staff pool. Most frontline doctors opposed some of the debated non medical criteria. The survey also probed how such choices should be made and by whom.
