The proposed changes to the national health law under the Trump administration will have an impact on women’s health. Overall health insurance may change for millions of Americans – and there will likely be specific changes regarding access to and coverage of birth control and abortion. When older adults lack the capacity to make important health care decisions for themselves and have nothing in writing naming a person to make decisions for them, how can the right health care decisions be made in clinical settings? 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. In this webinar, David Godfreywill 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. |
