End-of-Life Recommendations for Leaders

A new Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) article in the January/February 2011 issue of Healthcare Executive presents six leadership actions to more effectively honor patient preferences at the end of life.

In End-of-Life Care: 6 Leadership Actions IHI Vice President Andrea Kabcenell and IHI Senior Fellow Jim Conway offer recommendations based on the American College of Healthcare Executives' recently revised Decisions Near the End of Life Ethical Policy Statement, the work of IHI, and the findings of the Expert Panel on End-of-Life Care in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
