Importance of Bioethics for Post-Acute Care: Compliance and Risk Management Benefits

Next month, Christine J. Wilson and I will present "Importance of Bioethics for Post-Acute Care: Compliance and Risk Management Benefits" at AHLA's Long Term Care and the Law conference.

We will address, among other issues:

• Challenges in health care decision making in post-acute care
• CMS regulatory focus upon heath care surrogates and decision making as well as person-centered care
• Characteristics of effective ethics committees
• The role that ethics committees can play in post-acute care: Not just “end of life”
• Practical application and case study
