Project Leadership
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Office of Public Health Preparedness ( OPHP) has funded this project utilizing Department of Health and Human Services, Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Hospital Preparedness Program resources since October 2008. The Principal Investigator for the Project has been Lance Gable, an Associate Professor of Law at Wayne State University Law School. Professor Gable has worked closely with MDCH and an Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) to develop the Guidelines and related materials. The EAC is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of experts and researchers from across the state with a variety of experience and training. The EAC includes state and local health officials, emergency room physicians, EMS professionals, bioethicists, and lawyers. During the past few years, the EAC has provided systematic input, feedback, and direction to help inform the content of the ethical guidelines and other materials developed by this Project and has met regularly to discuss important issues of medical ethics in Michigan.
