Webinar Recording: Advance Care Planning in the Age of COVID - Lessons Learned and Policy Implications
The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) and The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School held a webinar on July 8, "Advance Care Planning in the Age of COVID: Lessons Learned and Policy Implications."
Advance Care Planning (ACP) has never been more important than now. Our recent experience with COVID-19 lays bare ACP gaps and barriers that persist despite many years of promotion of ACP through public and clinical education.
Federal and state regulators have implemented ACP waivers to address some of these concerns, but these waivers are temporary. This webinar evaluated these temporary waivers and determined where there are remaining gaps and barriers, examined the lessons learned from this experience and identified longer-term policy solutions that support quality ACP services for all.
