NASEM Workshop Proceedings Report: Caring for People with Serious Illness - Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic

Caring for People with Serious Illness Lessons Learned from the COVID 19 Pandemic Proceedings of a Workshop

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has released a workshop proceedings report, "Caring for People with Serious Illness: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic."

NASEM's Roundtable on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness hosted a three-part workshop to explore the initial responses to the pandemic by health care teams providing care to people with serious illness, the impact of the pandemic on the health care workforce, the use of telehealth, issues related to clearly communicating with the public about health emergencies, and policy opportunities to improve care for people with serious illness. Issues related to health equity were discussed throughout the three webinars. This report was based off those workshops.

The John A. Hartford Foundation is one of the co-sponsors of the Roundtable on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness.
