About This Webinar for Physicians and Healthcare Professionals

Supported by evidence-based data and case studies, physicians will explore hospice eligibility for patients with advanced cardiac disease (ACD), understand the burdens of cardiac disease and the benefits of hospice care, and gain an appreciation of advance care planning.

Physicians will learn how complex modalities that manage patients' high-acuity cardiac symptoms in their preferred care setting can reduce hospital readmissions and enhance comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Learn a clinician's mnemonic for sensitive discussions and how to address common misconceptions through an example of an effective goals-of-care conversation.
