SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION
End-of-life healthcare is getting more attention than ever. But there are serious ongoing problems. Many are due to the fact that the lawyers lack a sufficient appreciation of the clinical reality and how decision making standards are actually implemented. Analogously healthcare providers lack a sufficient understanding of the governing legal standards. This conference brings the disciplines together to identify problems, challenges, strategies, and solutions. The symposium will be of interest and value to elder law attorneys, health law attorneys, physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, hospital ethics committee members, social workers other health professionals, health policy organizations and individuals, and academics involved in these disciplines.
