Over the past 40 years\, nearly every state has passed statutes on health care decision-making. The laws vary from state-to-state\, from authorizing living wills or powers of attorney for health care to defining the conditions when withholding or withdrawing life sustaining care is permitted for patients who lack capacity.  \nDespite years of legal guidance\, questions remain regarding the statutory applicability in clinical practice. In 2016\, the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging (ABA COLA) initiated a national survey to explore health care clinicians’ perspectives on questions regarding capacity and decision-making. Findings explore instances when the law and clinical practice clearly align\, when there are consultation differences between lawyers and clinical providers\, and outline the areas that still present the greatest challenges for health care decision making in clinical settings.  \nIn this webinar\, David Godfrey\, Senior Attorney to the ABA COLA\, will detail the survey findings and implications for the health and aging network working with older adults with diminished capacity. The webinar will be accompanied by an Issue Brief that highlights the survey findings and provides recommendations for the field.  \nPresenter: David Godfrey\, Senior Attorney\, American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/older-adults-and-health-care-decision-making-in-clinical-settings/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170322T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170322T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155725Z CREATED:20231103T170246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155725Z UID:26317-1490144400-1490144400@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Health care reform under the Trump administration DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration has promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
