In Search of a Good Death: Living Well with Serious Illness
Presented by Steve Pantilat, MD, MHM, FAAHPM
Learning objectives:
Describe three cultural myths that are barriers to good care for people with serious illness and how to overcome them
Describe communication techniques to promote quality care for people with serious illness
Describe how a population health approach can ensure access to quality palliative care for people with serious illness
Serious illness is one of life’s greatest challenges. Unfortunately, healthcare too often adds to the stress of serious illness rather than easing it. Too many people receive care they do not want from which they cannot benefit and fail to receive care they do want from which they would benefit. By understanding the myths we have in our society about serious illness and learning the truth, we can live well and long with serious illness and adapt the healthcare system to address the needs of people with serious illness to provide high quality care.
