Don't forget to join us today for the event Moving Beyond Death Panels, where a distinguished panel of experts will discuss the implications of the most recent Dartmouth Atlas, Quality of End-of-Life Cancer Care for Medicare Beneficiaries Regional and Hospital-Specific Analyses. This study reinforces previous findings that the end-of-life care patients receive often falls short of their desires and wishes, and those of their families. All health care, including -- if not especially -- that which comes at the end of life, must be responsive to patients' needs and respectful to their personal values and choices.
