Dementia and Dying in a Digital Age
It’s been more than 30 years since the Patient Self Determination Act codified the use of advance directives in hospitals and other medical facilities. While traditional advance directives still serve an important role for your clients, they do have their limitations.
Many directives do not address issues of cognitive decline, a growing concern among seniors. They also do not take into consideration drastic changes in health, such as a terminal diagnosis, which can cause clients to reconsider some treatments.
During this webinar, Randi Siegel, MBA, will outline innovations in advance care planning that give your clients more nuanced control over their health care. You’ll also learn about resources to help your clients discuss their wishes with their loved ones.
