About this Webinar for Physicians and Healthcare Professionals

Talking with patients about their goals and preferences for medical care reduces aggressive interventions near the end of life, increases hospice enrollment, improves care satisfaction, and increases the likelihood that patients will die in the setting they prefer, according to studies.

This webinar explores the history, application, and types of advance directives, and provides practical advice for engaging in difficult-but-necessary conversations with patients and families/caregivers.
