The Role of Medical Ethics in the Care of an Older Population: Strategies for Clinicians and Caregivers
William D. Novelli, Global Social Enterprise Initiative, and Professor, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University, Co-Chair, Coalition to Transform Advanced Care.
Facing Advanced Illness and End of Life in America: We Can Do Better
Novelli will discuss the gap between what we want for ourselves and our loved ones when advanced illness occurs and what actually happens. He will address the challenges of knowing and applying patient values and wishes, where clinicians and caregivers come together (or should), the ethical dilemmas that often arise, and the importance of spiritual and religious beliefs. Bill’s conclusion is that we must close the gap and that America can and will do better.
Bill Novelli is co-founder and co-chair of the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to the goal that all Americans with advanced illness receive comprehensive, high-quality, person and family-centered care that is consistent with their goals and values, and honors their dignity.
