About

The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated and exacerbated challenges in caring for people of all ages with serious illness. The response to many of these challenges involved rapid innovation and as such provides valuable lessons learned that will likely significantly alter the field of serious illness care in the post-pandemic era. The Roundtable on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness will host a virtual workshop to provide a neutral venue for stakeholders in serious illness care to consider the lessons learned from the pandemic in order to continually improve care for people with serious illness in the future.

The virtual workshop will be held over three webinars on November 8, 18, and 30, 2021. Final agenda and speaker information are forthcoming.
