End-of-Life Care: The Long Conversation - 05/13/2016
California palliative care specialist, author, and consultant Ira Byock, MD, calls the issues surrounding end-of-life care "a public health crisis." But he says many of the same solutions to improving the health care system overall — shared decisionmaking, advancements in medical education, better payment and delivery structures — apply equally to this area of medical care. Dr. Byock is the General Session keynote speaker at TexMed 2015 in May.
