Clinical Care vs. Research: Similarities • The same personnel can sometimes serve in both capacities • Similar settings – clinics, hospitals, outreach situations • Treatments, procedures, tools may be the same or similar • Safety and protection of patients, participants, subjects 2012-03-22
Clinical Care • Goal is to provide benefit to the individual • Ethical principles: • Therapeutic beneficence • Therapeutic nonmaleficence – “do no harm” • New knowledge generated is incidental to overriding goal of care and treatment for the individual • Care is individualized to each patient 2012-03-22 3
Research • Goal is new knowledge that can help future patients • Ethical principles: • Nonmaleficence • Balancing of risks and benefits • Therapeutic benefit to individual, while important, is secondary to overriding goal • Standardized procedures for all study participants (not patients) • Study procedures must be consistent and data must be reproducible 2012-03-22
