On Wednesday, March 3, the University of Minnesota will host top national experts to debate how COVID-19 is changing the rules and conduct for research. This webinar on Conducting Research in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Ethics in an Emergency will tackle huge issues, including:
How can research successfully include the Black, Indigenous, and other vulnerable populations who are being hit so hard by the pandemic? What steps will make research genuinely responsive to the needs of those communities?
How can health professionals simultaneously collect data ethically, try to save each patient s life, and allocate scarce medications? Most currently available treatments are not FDA-approved, and instead are available under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs). Collecting data is essential, but so are saving lives and allocating medications ethically.

High hospital prices are a leading driver of high and rising costs in the U.S. health care system, resulting in insurance premium growth that outpaces the growth in wages and inflation. In particular, the cost of hospital care accounts for one-third of all U.S. health care expenditures. On average, hospitals command prices in the commercial market that are more than twice as high as Medicare, with some hospitals charging three or four times as much. High hospital prices have been fueled by a number of factors, including increasing market consolidation and “must-have” hospitals flexing their market power to negotiate significantly higher prices from commercial insurers.
