New Study Calls on Health Care System to Overhaul End-of-Life Procedures

9/21/2014

A new report by a 21-member panel appointed by the Institute of Medicine says that the current system for end-of-life health care in the U.S. is broken and needs to be overhauled.

The non-partisan panel included doctors, nurses, insurers, religious leaders, lawyers and experts on aging.

I first read about the report in the New York Times article, "Panel Urges Overhauling Health Care at End of Life." Click here to read it.




The report is titled,  Dying in America: Improving Quality and Honoring Individual Preferences Near the End of Life (2014). To read the report itself, click on the title.
