The Ethics of Nudge
Rev. Alex Chamberlain 
Research into “choice architecture” has provided insights into how people make decisions, and how healthcare providers use this knowledge to nudge people toward certain decisions. Is it ethical to use this tool to increase the odds of a certain patient choice? Rev. Alex Chamberlain will discuss when a nudge becomes a shove, how we can make such communication ethically defensible, and lead a shared conversation around how framing patient choices and using defaults might work in practice.
