Improving Public Messaging about Advance Care Planning, Palliative Care, and Hospice using Evidence-Based Principles
Messaging to the public regarding advance care planning, palliative care and hospice is inconsistent and confusing. Hospice and palliative care specialists are often asked to talk to the public about care for people with serious illness, but most have received little or no training in public messaging or media engagement. This activity reviews the need for improving public messaging about advance care planning, palliative care, and hospice along with the empirical evidence for public attitudes and awareness of these aspects of care for serious illness.

In Bad Faith: The Influence of PROP and CDC on Failed National Opioid Policy
Diligent analyses of the causes of overdose deaths attributed to opioids have shown that illegal drug - especially illicit fentalogues and heroin - are the driving force behind these deaths, rather than prescription pain medications. The discussion explores on the negative effects of the CDC Pain Guidelines for patients in chronic pain, including those receiving palliative care, and it offers insight into serious concerns and hopes for balanced national opioid policy in the future.
