The Association of Health Care Journalists has created this program with the support of The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. Through our Center for Excellence in Health Care Journalism, we select 10-12 journalists annually from a specific region of the country for this special opportunity. The 2013-14 fellowship class will come from Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The aim of the program is to provide already-established journalists with the tools needed to improve the depth and amount of coverage focused on localizing critical health issues. The program is designed by journalists for journalists. Although the training is spread over a year’s time, actual time away from the newsroom totals about two weeks. |

In the wake of the “death panels” controversy that demonized efforts to compensate physicians for conversations with patients, there is a growing movement to improve end of life care. Billions of dollars are spent annually on Medicare patients for care delivered in the final months of their lives, much of it unnecessary, painful, duplicative and unwanted. Studies have shown that earlier use of palliative and hospice care and advance care planning can not only improve the quality of life and care, but also lengthen lifespan, improve patient satisfaction and cut costs. This panel will discuss how hospitals, physicians and advocates are working with patients to improve end of life care. |
